If Valterc stops crunching e@h entirely that will drop 2 off line.

If Gpugrid stops pumping out tasks I expect Ian&SteveC to have at least one system running at 10M. And Freewill should resume a rac of about 1.4M on his rtx 3090/epyc system.

I am a bit bemused at having a 2 GPU system currently ranked at #7.  I was guessing I was going to top out at about #15 originally.  Since it is a relative ranking I expect to fall back down as time goes on.

mountKidd used to have two or more systems in the top 50.  Now has one hanging on at 50th place.

Different apps on e@h seem to favor different models of gpus (rtx 4090 running 1.8M, did not do so well on grp#1 tasks).

It looks like a battle of the 7 and up gpus is shaping up.

An anonymous [8] NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB (4095MB)  looks like it will be hitting the top 10 shortly.

Ian&SteveC's top performing e@h rig has started a rapid climb.  And a couple of his other systems may start up the list too.

The current top ranked system is an AMD-based GPU system.

And who knows what other newcomers or anonymous systems will join in.

My neighbor just opened one about 30 minutes away and he brought me 2 great bags of coffee, he said he had 30 POUNDS of beans he had to get rid of quickly, guess they go bad, and he would have brought me more but since I only use ground or k-cup coffees it took extra time so 2 is what I got. The price on the bag is $15 each, which is at least twice as much as I usually pay for my coffee. I buy the ones on sale and since my local grocery store grinds it's own too they often have lots of leftover generic which is what I like best. I use Splenda and French Vanilla creamer in each cup so flavored coffee isn't as big a deal as it could be for some people. I drink 2 12 ounce cups every morning and if my tv shows are on the tv in the evenings I will drink at least 1 cup per 1 hour show.

I sure hope they are wrong about that. It's not AI but Microsoft built a couple of super computers that won at chess and also do wonders with tricky medical diagnosis', you keep feeding it test results and it keeps spitting out possible diseases with the list getting smaller and smaller the more test results you keep putting in, it's helped ALOT of people!!

Maybe they are also using these larger memory cards for AI inference?
