(moderation:
As far as I can tell... the update I have just run at BOINC Synergy calculates that the total work done across ALL projects (including Alpha Beta stage projects) just passed
20,000,000,000 Total credits!
A good day for BOINC.

From my calculations. It would take over 547 Millenia for one 1GHZ computer, running 24\\7 to complete 20,000,000,000 Credits.. That would take from the year 2006 until the year 549951.

How long will it take

How long will it take something like IBM's Bluegene though?
Forever, since you'd never

Forever, since you'd never get "free" time on it. :-D
Another way of looking at it is it would take the BOINC Reference Computer (or is that what you meant by a 1 GHz machine?) 547570.1574 years to produce that much credit. ;-)
Of course it would only take the current #1 host here at EAH 155356.2401 years to do it, but my K6/300 would need 1.6 million years or so. :-)

how manny flops would u need

how manny flops would u need to do that in one second. can u calutae it for me
i tried and failed.
would it be more than 50yotta flops
RE: would it be more than

That would a BiggaLotta flops.. :-)
Cheers, and apologies, Mike.
I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Zain - is that just active BOINC users in your graph?
Anyway, I agree - great news for BOINC and for science!
