Gigahertz Day

storm5510 · 2009-08-09, 06:53

I did a search and didn't find anything, so I will ask.

What is a Gigahertz Day?

Now, I will guess: 1 GHz for 24 hours. If so, then for a 3 GHz CPU, a GHz day would be 8 hours.

Sorry. I'm trying to understand what is on my network summary page.

You guessed correctly.

I think it also must assume you are useing an Intel core2 type cpu. If you have something else it might not match up as well.

Sorry for taking so long. Core 2 Duo.

I was just looking at the overall statistics. The top user, who is anonymous, has accumulated over 5 million gigahertz days. What in blazes does any single person use to accomplish something like that?

Uncwilly · 2009-08-19, 05:26

That is not a single person, rather people who didn't set up their user info right.

Okay, I see it now. Everyone who did not bother to complete their account setup are lumped together. I guess they didn't want credit for their clock cycles.

#2 is University of Central Missouri with 1,993,446.91 GHz Days. Their page says they're running 850 computers. Wow! A lot of the others at the top are also colleges or businesses, save one.

Statistics fascinate me. Sorry!

A large part of anonymous' total is credit from the old version of the PrimeNet server (v4) that has not been linked to any v5 user yet. I bet a lot of it is never claimed.

Isn't it obvious? Gigahertz day is October 9th.

The only thing that I could find that looks like it might apply is the 1955 event on this link: http://www.onthisdayinhistory.co.uk/news27.html

Not obvious to me, please enlighten.
