Maps (and general reporting)
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 12:15 am
Are there any plans of geomapping IPs to get maps like what we had in '04? I remember there was some discussion about this (in the old forum) being one of PandeGroup's lesser priority items and I tried to find online services that do IP mapping to cities but I couldn't find anything good for free.
Could an IP sample of the Folding community's volunteers be passed through the PS3's 'dots on globe' logic to generate an image (or a picture with a camera) once a month or so? I wouldn't know how much work this involves but this should hopefully eliminate the need to rebuild the mapping logic. Pictures are nice
On a different topic, we need some visual reporting for this project; the numbers are getting bigger by the day and it'd be fun to watch where we were at this point last year or so. I've been capturing GPU TFLOPS values since GPU2 was released although the stats hiccup meant a few days of missing data. I have a small script designed to do this each night so hopefully there should be a reasonable data set after a few months.
I know its too early to deduce anything but get those GPUs cranking people!
