RE: One Billion MilkyWay@Home Credits or How Did We Get To Know That Galaxy is Rippled
Congrats Vortac - a massive milestone in the field of distributed compute! If only all miners spent their clock cycles on BOINC computations instead of mining POW coins... The world would be a much better place.
I hope that as more people begin to realise the futility of their mining 'work' we will see a greater adoption of Gridcoin and BOINC. The achievements that would enable (thanks to modern compute power) in the fields of medicine, mathematics and astronomy are beyond the scope of anything we have seen before.
Even more impressive is that you completed those FLOPs in FP64! On a modern GeForce card, those 865 quintillion FP64 FLOPs would be equivalent to 27.7 sextillion FP32 FLOPs, which all the other projects and applications such as video games use. Insane!
Thanks Dutch. Looking forward to crunch for your project(s) one day.
