flops/day?

Post by trench »

Hi!

I just started folding again (after a break for several years) and are now building a GTX Titan rig to support this cause. I'm wondering if there's a chart somewhere that shows the number of folding CPUs over time? Also the total number of points per day over time would also be interesting - I imagine that this has increased plentyfold since the v7 client. Aggregated for all workers, per team or client, any number would be nice to check out :)

Thank you for keeping up the great work you're doing for all of us and helping curing major human diseases!

trench,

Welcome, from one new forum member to another. The current flops info is at http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... e=osstats2 but not sure of where that would be charted/tabulated.

Thank you for the links! I'm now checking out extremeoverclocking.com and hope that their database contains the historical numbers I'm interested in. It would be cool to see the computing power development over time - it must have increased multiple times just because of the new code in v7- that takes advantage of the new GPUs.

trench,

I think it is related to the increase in cores and processing capability of the 16, 32, 48, CPU core folders running v6 clients with 2P or 4P configurations and with certain options set, like bidadv. Also, V7 and the new video cards, like the Titan which is one of my full time folders, have 2000+ cores.

Cool, I guess that would be a nice dimension to the chart - were all the computing power comes from. If the data exists (and hopefully it does thanks to extremeoverclocking.com) I guess a stacked line chart would visualize this in a nice way. I'll contact the database owner and continue my dig :) I'll update this thread with my progress.

I am amusing this would be in line of what you are looking for although the quit keeping data last year as near as I can tell. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... pY1E#gid=0

2 - SM H8QGi-F AMD 6xxx=112 cores @ 3.2 & 3.9Ghz
5 - SM X9QRI-f+ Intel 4650 = 320 cores @ 3.15Ghz
2 - I7 980X 4.4Ghz 2-GTX680
1 - 2700k 4.4Ghz GTX680
Total = 464 cores folding

That's because we moved to a new chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... ring#gid=0

To make things easier, I made a chart of all available data and plotted it with three fastest supercomputers from each Top500 list:

Wow! Just looking at what has happened since 2012 - capacity has _doubled_ - IN A YEAR (!) This project is truly a fantastic way to contribute to research and an innovative way to utilize all unused computing power. Thanks!

Just got a chance to look at the new spreadsheet in detail.

Would it be possible to pull some of the data from the older spreadsheet to the newer spread sheet? You wouldn't have to go back all 10 years, but the last 1 or 2 years pulled over for the charts would give the current numbers better perspective, IMO. It would also show a better (or lessor) continuity in the participation numbers.

And the new charts are divided by year, not continuous. So again, the charts lose scale and reference to other years.

Statistics

Post by trench »

Hi!

I started collecting statistics from FAH in the end of 2013. I've created a simple page that shows global Folding@Home statistics (over time). Please check it out, and feel free to send questions & feedback: http://app.johanssonrobotics.com/folding/

Have a great day all!

Actually pretty excellent; surprising that so much of the computing power appears to come from older Fermi GPUs

The Fermi GPU group includes Kepler and later nVidia GPU's as well. The nVidia classification is all of the models prior to Fermi as I understand the groups.
