someone posted something ( which I can't find now) that said they had 10 computers running including a GPU I believe and had something like 1 Thz day of work done could that explain it at all ( oh never mind that's only 1000 GHz days or so) ?

If I'm reading the graph right, it looks like PrimeNet activity actually doubled (from ~75 to ~150 TFLOP/s) for that specific period! Could one guy with 10 PCs and a GPU do as much as everybody else combined?

well considering GPU to 72 has many GPU's I'm guessing no especially since the GPU was described as ancient.

 2012-03-27, 16:26 #6 kladner     "Kieren" Jul 2011 In My Own Galaxy! 100111101011102 Posts There are some users who moved up more than 100 places in the Overall Top Producers list, in a possibly plausible time frame. For instance: Code: 325 Jacques Molné & André Pujol 5271.792 |297 51 | 30.7 57.3 9.0 0.1 2.8 Is it possible that a confluence of multiple user results could explain the spike? Synchronicity, and all that? In the above 297 is the 7 day increase in position. Last fiddled with by kladner on 2012-03-27 at 16:33

according to that type of report until the 26th I went up over 700 spots in the last day over 800 in the last 7 over 700 in the last 30 and over 700 in the last 90.

That should be enough to see a noticeable blip here:

At first glance I can't see any such blips that are out of the ordinary.

For example 33,000 could account for:
-almost 2.5 million cleared in the 800M range from 64-66 bits.
-2,000 in the 55M range all the way from 68-72 bits
-1061 all the way to 67 bits
