Hi @nexusprime and @h202:

I have been skeptical of the reliability of the latter values for some projects.

I have the same concerns.

Finding an automatic way to lookup the FLOPS for the different components might take some time

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.
