Attention Overclockers and Benchmarkers: new features at HWBOT !

[massman]

You have or have not seen the latest features at HWbot, implented by our talented boss RichBastard. Beside the global rankings, he has developped a new sort of competition, which will make the overclocking scene more interesting and competitive.

Every uploaded result gets points, HWBOINTS, depending on how good the score is. Some explanation:

The hwboint ranking algorithm is a well thought computation that hands out points to overclocking results, based on how noteworthy they are. A high rank in a very popular benchmark application like SuperPi will get you a lot more hwboints than a high rank in eg. Sisoft sandra, as there is less competition. The same counts for the specific hardware you used. You might not be ranked high in the main ranking, but if you have the fastest processor / videocard of your kind, you'll recieve a decent amount of points too. Again, the more people are using this piece of hardware, the more points you will get. Eg. you will recieve a lot more points for having the fastest 7900GT, than having the fastest Matrox Parhelia.

hwboints = global points + hardware points

* global points (top 5): (50,40,35,30,25 * application weight) * 0.6
* global points (other): ((-20/145) * your rank + (600/29) * application weight) * 0.6
* hardware points (top 5): (5,4...1 * hardware weight) * 2

application weigth: 0.5 (<500 participants) - 2 (2000 or more participants)

hardware weigth: 0.2 (1 participant) - 1 (100 or more participants)

(Thx to Mtzki for the brilliant idea)

More info about Hwboints

The Hwboints ranking is divided in two sections: one for members, which is currently dominated by (who else?) ... k|ngp|n, and one for teams, dominated by XS.





If you submit results to Hwbot and don't see your results, you probably haven't authenticated yourself at hwbot. If we would skip this step, cheating would be too easy.

What does 'authenticate my scanned results' mean?
I have registered but I do not get awards/points for my scanned scores?

Why should I join hwbot and not just submit my scores in my monitored forum?

At hwbot we always try to listen to the needs of our users, so if you have a brilliant idea or some remarks, just let us know.

Many thanks to mtzki, who's at least the intelectual father of hwboints. I'm just the grunt who coded it.

Seriously, even though i say it myself, this point systems is fantastic to compare overclockers to each other, while keeping it fun for those who can't afford the latest Q6700 + 1950 CF.

If this system gets support for the community (and we are confident we do), we are going to organize contests based on hwboints. Untill then, please share your thoughts on how we can make it even better.

thats pretty cool Any ideas on how to get the rest of the benching world to sign up to HWBOT and build up a better picture of benchmarking? I`m top 50 at the mo, which just aint right..... LOL

[RichBa5tard]

Sponsored competitions + autogenerated signatures with your current rank / amount of points / team status should motivate a lot of people, i hope.

Thanks mate, tho you worked a fair share of the ideas and definitions too.

[K404]

I`d carry an HWBot sig at the forums i`m on...you got any cooked up?

[hausner]

As long as you're top50, you're top50, nothing more, nothing less

Finishing the signatures is highest on my todo list. I'll pm you when they're up and running. : )

[GoriLLakoS]

Very very good..
Very nice idea..

Some members have no points(me for example)...why does this happens?

[massman]

Do you have a registred account at Hwbot or are your results scanned automatically?

[GoriLLakoS]

Both...but i haven't logged in for 3-4 months in there..

That's probably because you haven't authenticated your login at hwbot. If we would skip this step, cheating would be too easy.

As you can see, we've put a lot of effort in extending the faqs and guides section.

hwbot seems outdated.

doesnt have many of the AM2 X2's

[Charles Wirth]

Need more people with AM2 machines to sumbit scores it seems.

[K404]

doesnt have many of the AM2 X2's

LOL thats coz there aint many benchers using them!!

The more ppl who sign up to HWBot, the better, spread the word!

[[cTx]Philosophy]

Never have gotten into it.. YET..

Will check it out later and run a few of my rigs on it to see how they compare..

Does it show total users and like % of amd's p4's duos?

[massman]

# results today: 149

Outdated you say ?

[jrw]

Still on 939. Sorry.

My funds has been redirected for other recreational use.

Will get my 01 score submitted asap.

Awsome idea!
