Flop Drop

I have noticed in the last couple of weeks a steady decline in FLOPS, from a high of about 106 petaflops through today it is around 88 petaFLOPS. Does anyone have any thoughts on this sudden decline? I noticed also the users have drop of has well from just over 100k to in the low 90sK. Is this relat...

Flops to points

I was wondering if there is a any correlation between FLOPS and the points that Folding@home give out? If not is there any way to calculate my accurate FLOPS output here at Folding@home?

Re: CUDA

I wonder if CUDA efficiency is why I see GPU Grid run about 75% of GPU load on my 980ti while programs that don't use CUDA like Folding@home use in the mid 90s. ie they have to use more brute force to get the same performance.

Re: CUDA

I thought CUDA offered better performance with NVIDA cards which is why i was surprised. Is that correct or is OpenCL the same?

CUDA

I was going over the different software in OPENMM and noticed it no longer mentions cuda support? Was this drop in the later software after GPU 2 for open GL?

What Happened to 40 Petaflops?

Hello I was reading on Wikipedia as well as some older news post that world Folding at home used to be at 40 petaflops, now all I see we are around 20. Is there a particular reason we lost half of our FLOPS, like new way of calculating them? It just seems very peculiar and I have never seen anyone m...
