BOINC Stats Explained
If you look at the "BOINC Info"
<http://www.w1hue.us/sfcc/boinc/>page on the club's web site, you
will see two tables at the bottom. The table on the left lists the
number of "credits" generated by the SFCC BOINC computers (currently
four) for the five projects that we are working on and some other
information. The table on the right lists similar information for
our "team" and includes projects from all team members (currently
only the club and Larry East). These tables are automatically
updated every night.
Lets take a look at the table for the club computers as it appeared
on the afternoon of September 13, 2010:

"SFCC" is our user name; the US flag indicates that we are located
in the US. The first column lists the projects in which we are
participating (CPDN is "ClimatePrediction.net" and WCG is "World
Computing Grid"). The second lists the total credits earned by us
for each project. The third lists the number of credits earned since
the previous day. The fourth column, labeled "Rank", shows how our
number of credits rank against the total number of credits earned by
all uses for each project. (For CPDN, we currently rank as number
14,856 out of 233,397 users; you can click
<http://boincstats.com/index.php?list=full&or=0>here to find the
number of users and total credits for each BOINC project). The last
column, labeled "Rank%" shows how our credits rank against each
individual user for each project. For example, the first row shows
that we have accumulated more credits in the Climate Prediction
project than 93.6% of individual project participants -- NOT more
credits than 93.6& of all project participants combined.
The links at the bottom of the page bring up pages with charts
showing how our (and our team's) credits and rankings have changed
over the past 60 days and some pie charts showing how our total
credits are distributed among the various projects over various time periods.
