RE: BOINC Hardware Survey
There are some bits that can make that a bit tricky.
Sure. The upper and lower bounds probably wouldn't be very tight, but I think they still could be useful. And yeah, looking up FLOPS for each device would be a pain. On the other hand, perhaps you could work with averages rather than individual components (or, like you are saying, do the most common components by hand, and ballpark the rest.)
Hi @nexusprime and @h202:
I have the same concerns.
Fore Nvidia GPUs the numbers can be pulled from here, and for AMD GPUS here.
Regarding CPUs, it's a bit more of a pain, I've found info on ark.intel.com for individual products before, but I had to get a particularly hard-to-find pdf from there and I can't find right now, so I don't have a link.
I've been working on a similar proposal for a hardware profiling database built by GridCoin users, one of the purposes of which would be to provide a large amount of data that potential projects could use to optimize future decisions. I think we have overlapping goals and if you're interested in working together I'm on Discord and usually available during/after the Fireside chats.
