I've passed over 9 billion credits overnight.

Congratulations, Zoltan :-)

Three cheers for you, Zoltan :)

Besides, how can you afford your electricity bill by the way. My ridiculous RAC already causes me 100€ of exceptional expenses per month and your RAC is even 10x times higher. You didn't tap a nearby nuclear power plant did you? <:*)

Well... I don't smoke at least.

I would love to see HCF1 protein folding and interaction simulations to help my little boy... someday.

Just wondering, since computational power increases exponentially, I'm guessing the RAC for this project scales with the FLOPS at the time. I assume because crunching back in 2010 would yield nearly no credit as compared to today if that were the case.

See my retrospective post about it.
My last billion took 115 days, while my first billion took 28 months.

Zoltan, what was your RAC back in the day, say 2012. How many GPUs did you have at the time and would you say they were high end? From your post it sounds like they are not scaling the RAC and rather it is purely FLOPS based.

As he said to me in a PM, "My monthly electricity bill is roughly €240 (it's flat rate, so I have to pay the margin yearly, or I receive some refund). My monthly energy consumption is 1960kWh." I'm not sure if he worked out a deal with his electricity company or what, because that figure seems awfully low for that amount of power consumed.

In 2012 my RAC started at 1.6M, and its maximum was 3.5M.
From May 2010 (GTX 480) to December 2010 I've earned ~40M credits, now it takes 4 days :).

How many GPUs did you have at the time and would you say they were high end?

I had two GTX 590s, one GTX 580 and 3 maybe 4 GTX 480s, then I've sold them and I've bought two GTX 670s and two GTX 680s (later a 3rd one and a GTX 690). I've always had high-end GPUs.

From your post it sounds like they are not scaling the RAC and rather it is purely FLOPS based.

The RAC depends on many factors:
1. the CUDA version used by the client (it had a big jump (+40%) when the CUDA4.2 client has been released)
2. the credit/sec ratio is different for different batches
3. the number of GPUs
4. the computing speed of the GPUs
5. the availability / reliability of workunits
6. the availability / reliability of the hosts

Almost 4 million average credit per day, the highest I've been so far :)

I just passed 2.5 million points & want to find out what the different levels are?

about 10 days ago, I celebrated my first billion :-)

What a great achievement, I hope to reach a billion by the end of the year

Just reached one half billion :)

A significant accomplishment is in order: With-in 48hr Stoneageman will be the first GPUGRID cruncher to attain final Tryptophan badge (10B) .
Simply incredible - congratulations!

Next cruncher to reach 10 billion will either be (9,442,156,169 credits) Retvari Zoltan or RaymondFO* (8,547,370,489 credits).

I've reduced my heat output for the summer by taking my GTX 980 Ti's offline. Therefore my credits per day will be around 2.3-2.5 Million, as only my GTX 1080 and GTX 1080Ti will be online until September.

My main cruncher PC has passed over 2 billion credits recently btw.

First billion for me!

First billion for me!

Congrats!

Today I've passed over 10 billion credits.
My new rank is Tryptophan.
It took 7 years and 2 months.
