The Member's CPUs page has Name, Units, Units added, and CPU Count columns. The table is sorted by the units added today, then by name. The effect is that all accounts that produced units today are first, followed by all other accounts in alphabetic [lixicographic] order. The Name column is the account name. The Units column is the total number of units for the account. The Units Added column is the number of units most recently produced. They may have been produced today, but they may have been produced in the past, if no other units were produced since. The CPU Count is a guess at the number of CPUs that the account is using. This is estimated by dividing the amount of CPU time that the account accumulated most recently by one day of time. It often guesses pretty close to the real number of CPUs in use. However, if an account has among it's computers a very slow processor that spits out a unit once in a while, it can be easily fooled. For example, when the statistician ran a 33 Mhz 486 for 26 days before posting a single unit, this page reported that some 26 CPUs were in use. That's because 26 days of CPU were posted. This page has no way of knowing that the hours were posted by a single system. |
