A better shader-per-price

A better shader-per-price ratio may play into the factors contributing to the trend. Currently both competing numbers are hovering around the top. We'll see if it ends in the inspiral-merger-ringdown pattern that we're all familiar with in this great project. ;-)

592.6m E@H, 707M boincwide.  The E@H number is deliberate, not my missing a target because Steffen Grunewald, for Merlin/Morgane (aka the first 2 E@H server clusters) is at 592 million and I just overtook that account.  I picked up ~4m on my other projects, some of it from old/oddball hardware that doesn't run here well or at all; but mostly during the window when there weren't any GW tasks earlier in the year.  I put my CPU power on my assorted backup projects to get my standing in most of them out of the nosebleed section.  SETI isn't there yet, but since hitting a top 10k theshold there would need another 6+ million credits that's not going to happen quickly without something giving me a reason to send my GPU power away for a while.

There weren't any major tech upgrades in my setup since this spring, just at the bottom of my box stack I retired my under-performing GTX770 with an RX560.

My ETA for 1bn is 11 months from now (16mo for a doubling to 1.2bn); but next summer will probably see a GTX1180 (2080?) or Vega2 card upgrading my main gaming box and pushing other cards down the stack.  That'd pull my next milestone forward a few months.  OTOH if elderly i7-930 box dies I probably won't be replacing it, which'd slow me down by about the same.

It ended up taking a year and a day to hit 1 billion here, 1.121bn overall.

Because of how much silicon NVidia spent on aspirational features and where they ended up pricing cards as a result I haven't upgraded any hardware this year like I expected to; and probably won't until next years GPU refresh improves the cards bang for the buck.

ETA for 1.5bn is March 2020; but I'll almost certainly have a faster GPU before then.

Finally a moment

Finally a moment ago...

1,157,404,168 Cobblestones of computation (1,000.00 quintillion floating-point operations)

Smile

edit: I see it changed now to (1.00 sextillion floating-point operations). Blah, that looks much less dramatic Laughing
