How much floating point operations have you given?

[vitchilo]

I thought this was interesting knowing how much floating point operations you gave in all the projects since the beginning...

vitchilo has contributed 11,375,349 Cobblestones of computation (9.83 quintillion floating-point operations) to the following scientific research projects:

9.83 quintillion floating-point operations = 9.83 exaflop... an exaflop-level computer could do all I did in the last 2 years in less than 10 seconds... kind of humiliating...and awesome at the same time...

What's your contribution?

To see, you just have to go on one of the BOINC projects sites (other than WCG)... go on your account and click on Certificate cross project...

Certificate of Computation - ALL PROJECTS

This certifies that Snow Crash has contributed 207,355,034 Cobblestones of computation (179.15 quintillion floating-point operations)

WCG number is much smaller ... 33,335,428 Cobblestones

Pretty good! Still less than 3 minutes with an exaflop-level computer... Exaflop-level supercomputers are gonna be reality in 5-6 years... now before we have that as crunchers... I'll take a while longer.

India is planning a 132.7 exaflops supercomputer for 2017... seems very optimistic to me... still would be cool.

It would be possible if they dump silicon chips and go with graphene chips... that would make sure computing power boost would go back to the good old days of the 2000s with insane speed increases every year or so...

300 GHz Chips Are Now Possible: Samsung Shows the Graphene Barristor

The most important fact about graphene is that this material allows electrons to move through it 200 times easier than silicon.

Practically, if you build a CPU using graphene instead of silicon, it will likely run at 300 GHz instead of 3 GHz, considering that the technology only achieves half of the normal graphene electron mobility.

IBM even thought about theoretical 1000 GHz chips using graphene.

A graphene GPU chip at 5nm or probably smaller could kick some serious butts.

I'm not as big as most of the farmers here.

How do you see it for WCG?

[Snow Crash]

on the certificate for "All" ... each project is broken down by cobblestone

[[XC] Oj101]

So I need to create an account on one of the four websites listed in the first post?

[Snow Crash]

The certificates are a standard BOINC feature so any project that uses the basic BOINC web pages will do ...I believe you are a GPUGrid cruncher ... you can get it here.

WCG has 7,863,955 Cobblestones, so seeing as I have a total of 79,507,817 Cobblestones which is 68.69 quintillion floating-point operations, WCG would equate to 6.8 exaflops on its own. I feel so small

[vitchilo]

+5 exaflops in less than 2 months almost 24/7... To think that exaflops computers in a few years will be able to do what a quite good computer does in 2 months in 5 seconds or less... lulz.

Well, since the fastest computer in the world is 17.6 petaflops, you'd last at least 10.5 minutes!!!

It's all the little guys who end up making the difference. Sure our team has some heavy hitters, but if you look at the stats, us little guys make about 3/5 of the points even with the GPUs (it's even more significant if you look at CPUs only!) So keep chugging along! We've got some work to do!

And on another note - for some reason my PrimeGrid (that I run on my phone) doesn't link up with the rest of my profiles...

Seems a shame GPU Grid can't use amd cards...If they did that is where I could run these for a while

Wow... Congrats!

It's a lot! But can you imagine it'll be just 8 minutes or so with an exaflop computer? And it's only a few years away? We think our computers are powerful now, we ain't seen nothing yet.

Will us mere mortals ever be able to afford an a computer with that much power?

[bluestang]

So where exactly do you find it for WCG?

[Otis11]

Will us mere mortals ever be able to afford an a computer with that much power?

The first Teraflop computer, the ASCI Red, was finally finished in December of 1996. In June of 2008, or 11 and 1/2 years later, NVIDIA released the Tesla S1070 - the first Teraflop processor. There were surely teraflop home computers before this point - computers with multiple GPUs and such, but those statistics are harder to come by, but today, a teraflop desktop is hardly brag-worthy... there are even some laptops with that kind of horse power!

Extrapolating from this data, one would expect that we will see petaflop-on-a-chip type computers around 2020, and the first exaflop computers around 2030 with exaflop computers starting to become common place around 2033. Now, this all assumes we won't hit a physical wall that we cannot surpass (fairly reasonable assumption) and that there will be addiquate demand for such performance (I'd suspect not as reasonable, but then again, who ever thought we'd need more than 1MB of RAM?)

[vitchilo]

Totally agree Otis!
