Message 21310 - Posted: 18 Nov 2008, 6:13:49 UTC

Hey, i noticed that when you look on the 'top 100' scoreboard here, it shows the participants by the number of Gflops they are contributing,
now i dont really understand the credit system to begin with, cobblestones and whatnot,
but how can i find out how many flops im contributing?

also, i noticed on my stats, (boinc stats.com)
it shows my ranking out of about 1.5 million people, but the official boinc website (here) says theres only 320,000 participants.

thanks
my boinc id is m-man if thats needed

Cobblestones:
Wikipedia
BOINC Wiki

... but the official boinc website (here) says theres only 320,000 participants

This site isn't a project. It's a help desk for people with BOINC problems.

so, credit is more based on how much time you are running projects, and less on how much results your actually making?

that is to say, that a slower computer and a faster computer that have been running the same amount of time, would have the same credit?

thats what it sounds like, am i mistaken?
