TechPowerUp! World Community Grid Team Surges Past 6 Million Points at Free-DC.org

btarunr · May 17, 2009, 05:13 PM

The TechPowerUp! World Community Grid (WCG) Team passed an important milestone, in its relentless pursuit of the top spot. The team scored an aggregate of 6 million points yesterday as per the scoring system of popular distributed computing score aggregator Free-DC.org (6,061,211 as of now). Currently holding world rank 170, the team's score is growing with an average of 160,000+ points per day. To give you an idea of the growth rate, statistics show the team to have aggregated close to 4 million points in the last 28 days alone. The team currently has 79 registered contributors, and believes in doing its bit for the various scientific, socially-relevant challenges WCG attempts to solve. Our hearty congratulations to the team. Extended team statistics can be viewed here. To learn more about contributing to the team, please visit this page.

I registered just so I could say congrats! I crunch and fold on XS team and have been reading what you guys are doing. I hit TPUs main page daily for news but have not prowled the forums much.

Anyway congrats on your numbers! Keep On Crunching!!

I can't believe it was all worth it in the end, and it only took a couple of months
