Re: Number of active folders going down?
In the case of displaying a single number, FLOPs most likely provides a better summary that # CPUs.

Re: Number of active folders going down?
I believe that total # of CPUs still conveys relevant information. On the surface, # CPUs also allows us to make some approximations such as the average computing power of each OS/hardware class. Its interesting to know information on donor statistics and computing power. Using the example of codysl...

Re: Change in BA requirements
If the client-statistics by OS is anything to go by, http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... e=osstats2 this doesn't add up, since BigAdv. is limited to Linux-only and even in the impossible scenario all Linux-computers runs BigAdv. this is only 2.6% (has only included cpu-clients in the count)...

Re: Change in BA requirements
@troy8d, I noticed the 17% drop off between SMP and BA points. What system produced those? Bill1024 had far different data: I have never been a bigadv folder (and have no intention of becoming one). I was using numbers provided to me from a trusted source. The results I used were from an AMD 4P 618...

Re: Change in BA requirements
Thank you for the suggestions. I need to consult with the rest of the F@H leadership, but I think the likelihood is that we'll want to move sooner rather than later. I should also point out that one could equally conclude that BA work units are overvalued rather than that SMP are undervalued. A num...

Re: Change in BA requirements
It appears that most everybody can agree that the decrease in points of 50% to 75% when switching from bigadv to smp is both disheartening and unpalatable to those affected by it. Further, it appears this far exceeds the design parameters of the bigadv program Dr. Kasson outlines, more than three ti...
