I'd like to see some DC benchmarks anyway.Originally posted by: JetBlack69
Or when reviewing processors, he could benchmark (if possible) some DC clients and then link to the DC forums.

He has in the past. The problem with respect to benchmarking is that they are generally well-optimized programs that generally fit inside caches and scale linearly with clock speed. For example, I could extrapolate with very high accuracy how many keys/second a 5ghz Athlon 64, or a 3.5ghz Athlon 64 X2 in RC5. Other programs generally play the same way. So there's nothing new to glean from benchmarking them for new speed bumps.
Of course, it can be useful when new architectures appear, but those don't happen very often....
All that said, if you look at arstechnica, they mention their teams on the front-page/articles at least once every couple months which helps. On the other hand, he does have a link to the team webpage, which is, of course, woefully out of date.

I have tried many times to get our link on AnandTech's Front Page to point to the Distributed Computing Forum ... without success.Originally posted by: ProviaFan
From looking at the locations of the keys on the keyboard, all I can assume is that the mystery word is a typo for "rebuffed."
And from what I've seen, changes that would make things better and/or more up to date have been suggested, and rejected... That's why other team members have made their own DC info pages, but for reasons that may be obvious, it would be hard to get any official links pointing to the more useful and up to date sites (particularly because said individuals may not have been here as long and may not know the right people and/or have special status).
