All the same, we could have results for different platforms, or we could make it based on strictly users and their results regardless of system.
I really like the database idea of yours. If you can accomplish it, I'm sure many would take part in that «competition».

Maybe 1 or 1.5 Giga (for those with only 2 Giga memory) and the standard 20 passes.
Agreed. At least, as rge noted, there should be x64 and x32 categories as the results and load differ much between those two.

Same memory/problem size value is on the one hand a good way to get comparable results (say, between different CPUs, RAMs, maybe even NBs at different clocks) and to make it somewhat fair for those without much RAM, but on the other hand if it is gonna be some sort of Top-xx then maybe there is no point in imposing such limits.

And rge is, as always, right. The more memory, the higher stress, the more vcore requirements.
