Ahh, so if a load of the g34 AMD and xeon rigs are in the middle of a WU and the WU take 25+ hours to complete, if you look on the wrong day they won't be counted as part of the TFLOPS total?

From what I've seen over the last few days there hasn't been a whole lot of fluctuations, but it could be lower overall because the distribution is spread over more than one day.

Also, I went through the old versions of the Wikipedia page looking for stats updates and those kinds of things. The date that the stats were updated was often included in the text, which made hunting for the previous update much easier. I thus compiled a list of the info I found. For each entry, I've included the URL of the specific edit, as well as the date of the previous update which it replaced, so that you can see how everything fits together and changed over time. It's your table, so feel free to pick through all of this historical info and insert it into the table. Anyway, here's what I found. I think many people might find it interesting:

Jesse,

I changed the graph to reflect the date rather than the not-so-useful "number of days."

I've started adding historical data! I've gone through your 7 links above and have aggregated what I could. Will check out your Wikipedia info next.

If anyone has anything to add, clicking Insert then Add Row (above or below) makes adding data from new dates easy.

The graph will automatically update to reflect the new data.

Cheers!

Edit: Just FYI I'm using an asterisk to denote approximate data, or stuff that I have come across that only offers the TFLOP number and nothing else, etc..

Trying to figure out how to add text to the figure legend-- probably missing something obvious.

Changed data range to include column headers, and then edited chart to use the headers as the legend labels.

Please add this link to your original post in this thread so that it is easier to find.

Thanks.

Also added 2 data points.

One that I took on 11/15/2011

Another found online, dated 02/29/2008 (GPU was ATI only at that time)

It would be good to add a column with notes, such as when QRB was launched, the launch of the original BA, the point in time where BA was revised etc. Perhaps also a separate sheet for charts (so they don't cover the data).

At this stage, based on the (at this stage) limited historical data (around January 2009 & around January 2012) there ~might~ be a 1PFLOP (and increasing) variation between Northern Hemisphere Winter & Summer. The variation is a lot larger than I expected, but might be a combination between summer temperatures and summer holidays. A third of all active Windows CPUs and a fifth of all active clients stopped folding between Nov 2011 (NH winter) and May 2012 (NH spring). Perhaps there has been a consolidation towards fewer, more powerful clients with total performance dropping. Alternatively, this decrease could be reflecting what may be a large seasonal oscillation.

Looking forward to increasing data points and would love it if PG was able to add some official stats to the party!

After about 10 more data points, one as far back as 11/2006 (http://gpgpu.org/static/sc2006/slides/1 ... luster.pdf), I got tired of data entry...

Here are some links with more data if someone wants to add them. Thanks.

V7 beta started about that same time the drop started. Are we sure that the V7 clients are feeding in to this older stats chart?

Thanks!

I've added a link to the first post. I've also moved the chart to its own sheet ("Chart 1" at the bottom of the page). I'll go through the links and add some more data.

Edit: some of these may prove to be problematic:

That article was written on March 24, 2007, but we already have data from that day. I presume that the data was taken from a previous day. How will we estimate that though?

Wonder if PG has official dated stats lying around somewhere..

The 11/08/2010 looks like it's a bit of an outlier to me, either because it reresents a day where the stats were off i.e. a server was down, or it wasn't inputted correctly, or it's source is inaccurate... If that outlier is not looked at the graph is looking increasingly osclilating...

[Edit]: Having said that, viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1164&start=165 discusses the decline (as at April 2010 - PFLOPS = "3.5ish"), so maybe it is part of the osclilation... I guess only PG would be able to say whether V7 was the cause 7im.

There was this ticket: https://fah-web.stanford.edu/projects/F ... ticket/585 which I see you reported. I've no idea how much of an effect this had, but I just wanted to point it out.

EDIT: also:

Per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anton_(computer)&diff=475096764&oldid=457745608
8.8 x86 petaFLOPS on Feb 3, 2012 and 6.4 x86 petaFLOPS on Sept 21, 2011

I attempted to add some additional notes to the Chart - namely that the V7 Open Beta was released on 23 March 2011 and the V7 was officially launched 22 March 2012.

Not sure how such notes should be incorporated, but I have added the information in any event!

*Add: also, it might be useful for there to be a link to where the data was sourced from?

I recorded these numbers daily for several months in 2007, April 30 through June 28.

How much do you want? Here is a monthly sample... Not sure anything more than that is helpful.

P.S. I charted the data, and in that 3 month period, every client type was in a very slow decline, except for Mac OSX. FAH goes up and down with seasons, clients, economy, technology releases, etc.
