Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: working on a CD distribution disc for LO

Thanks Tom,
but to clarify - "top 20" should say "top 20%".

I have 11 in the top 20% ranking

As of this morning:
     Current Credit (based on incremental update)    5,169,445.20
     BOINC World position based on credit (based on incremental 
update)    12,399 out of 2,247,227
     BOINC World position based on RAC (based on incremental update)    
8,034 out of 2,247,227
                                                  [RAC - recent average 
credits]
     Accumulated more credit than % of all BOINC users    99.448%

From yesterdays printable award/notice, Cobblestones is our credit system:
     "Tim Lungstrom has contributed 5,501,710 Cobblestones of 
computation (4.75 quintillion floating-point operations) to the 
following scientific research projects:"

BOINC volunteers are totaling "5,471.08 TeraFLOPS" of computational work 
done on a daily average.  If you total all the work BOINC volunteers do, 
collectively, on a daily basis, we could be considered the distributive 
computing version of a supercomputer ranked between the first and second 
fastest supercomputers in the world.

below is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500
#1 K computer [Japan] - 8,162 TeraFLOPS.
#2 Tianhe-1A [China] - 2566 TeraFLOPS
#3 Jaguar [USA - Oak Ridge National Laboratory] - 1759 TeraFLOPS

We volunteers, whether you believe the numbers or not, do a good thing 
by volunteering our spare CPU and GPU processing time toward helping 
projects out that need a great deal of number crunching.  I myself 
support form time to time over a half-dozen medical and biomedical 
projects that need number crunching to do computer modeling in their 
research for treatments or cures for such things as Cancer, Alzheimer's, 
and AIDS.  Then there are all the other mathematical, cosmological, and 
other scientific research project that need BOINC volunteers and our 
spare computing time to be able to do their research.

To be honest, I am passionate about Cancer and Alzheimer's research, 
since I have had too many friends and families affected by these two 
nasty illnesses.  So, please do not take offense about my strong views 
on this subject.
