----------------------------------------------------- OS Type | Current TFLOPS | Active CPUs | Total CPUs | ----------------------------------------------------- Windows | 173 | 181649 | 1843280 | Mac/PPC | 8 | 9404 | 107891 | Mac/Int | 15 | 4932 | 28564 | Linux | 39 | 23214 | 254204 | GPU | 40 | 676 | 4580 | PS3 | 1270 | 51199 | 323280 | ----------------------------------------------------- Total | 1545 | 271074 | 2561799 | -----------------------------------------------------The snapshot was taken today (12/11/2007) and i was impressed by the demographics, that put on my mind the following:
- There is not much loyalty in the clients, most people activate their accounts and one day just stop to contribute.
- Windows users are more prone to use such software
- The PS3/GPU users have almost 15% activity rate (are persistent from the total population), the computer around 9% (except Mac/PPC)
- PS3 has 82% of the TFLOPS with 18.9% of the active population! .... Cell rules!
