7 Month ago

About seven months ago I wrote that Gridcoin would be ranked 60th on the list of the 500 fastest supercomputers by computing power. You can find this post here.
At that time, the team Gridcoin had a RAC of 333,037,098.50127 which corresponds to approximately 1665 TeraFLOPS.

Today

Meanwhile, the Gridcoin team has developed a RAC of 1,050,809,718.49334. This is more than three times as much as 7 months ago! A tremendous increase, in my opinion.

1,050,809,718.49334 RAC / 200,000 RAC/TeraFLOP = 5254.04859 TeraFLOPS

With this computing power, Gridcoin would land on 22nd place in the list of the world's fastest supercomputers, replacing the computer named JUQUEEN from Germany.
This computer has 458,752 cores and has a computing power of 5,008.9 TeraFLOP.

As we can see from these numbers, Gridcoin does indeed have the opportunity to actively support research. In this sense: Keep on crunching!
