One Question about the certificate. Is that Quintillion short oder long scale? ^^ ---------- 24/7 Crunching since 2011 ----------- DSKAG Austria: http://www.dskag.at

Short scale, so: 10^6 Million 10^9 Billion 10^12 Trillion 10^15 Quadrillion 10^18 Quintillion Not long scale, since Quintillion would be 10^30 on the long scale. That would not be conform BOINC credit: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Computation_credit 1 Cobblestone = 1/200 day of CPU time on a reference computer that does 1,000 MFLOPS = 1000 MFLOPS *60*60*24/200 = 432000 MFLOPS or 432 billion FLOPS In my case: 748,494 Cobblestones of computation (646.70 quadrillion floating-point operations) to GPUGRID. 748,494 x 432 billion FLOPS = 323,349,408 billion FLOPS = 323,349 trillion FLOPS = 323 quadrillion FLOPS Possibly GPUGRID doubles that amount due to the use of GPUs. But more importantly it is in the order of magnitude. So I think it is save to assume that they use the short scale. |

Ah ok short scale ^18 would be trillion in austria. Thats what i was searching for :) all this differnet names over the world... thx ;) ---------- 24/7 Crunching since 2011 ----------- DSKAG Austria: http://www.dskag.at
