Folding Forum

Thanks Jesse. Working great here!

Anyone else notice the trend of total TFLOPs going down but AMD TFLOPs still rising? Any idea if it's a promotion on their part or something?

I believe ATI has continued to decline, along with all of the other clients, it's just fluctuating quite a bit. Linux has possibly had the biggest percentage drop.

It looks like Total x86 FLOPS is currently hovering around the 4.5 PFLOP range, I'd really like to know whether the decline is due to seasonal fluctuation, something to do with the V7 client/server back-end or people moving away from FAH.

Also, I've edited Chart Two (Flops per client type) so that the x-axis is by date.

I would say normal seasonal drop. If you check out some of the other forums you will notice quite a few saying they are cutting back for the summer months.

Any idea when this data came from?

See slide 14.

The file is dated as uploaded 15-Sep-2010 but the data correlates far more with the levels from two years prior..

You could use the total CPUs as a guide (as this value only increases). It wouldn't give you the exact date but it would give you at least a no earlier than and no later than date...

True k1wi, which puts it between 7/19/2010 and 11/22/2010. Not that small a gap! Hopefully we can find additional data to help bridge the gap.

Data is here so anyone interested doesn't have to go load the PDF:

Another undated piece of data, this one from sometime between 07/22/2009 and 07/10/2010:

Edit to update the date as more data was found.

More from that mysterious data range:

That InvestorVillage one has the date 5/27/2010.
The distributed.org one says Feb 24, 2010.

I thought the Total CPUs didn't line up with those dates. I must have been looking at the wrong rows. I've added them in. Thanks Jesse.

Pretty big jump in NVidia processing power this week, offset to a degree by a decline in Linux performance

Wonder if it has anything to do with the 600 series? Either way it's good to see an increase after a long dwindle.

I think it could have something to do with the 600 series.

Possibly because of the work units available for them (which cannot be discussed in this thread )...

Found a goldmine!

36 pages of stats from one of the most sparse regions of the graph (July 2008 through August 2009)! I'll start adding it, though it will take a while! How exciting. Help would be greatly appreciated for this.

Congratulations on the discovery! I've got some time, so I'll start at the last page and work my way towards the beginning, that way we can meet some place in the middle. Divide and conquer. If you are running Windows 7, you can snap that page to one half of the screen, and the spreadsheet to the other half.

The graphs are starting to look really cool. I figured out how to remove all the dots, so now they are just lines.
