Solution #4: Remove Global TPP. Have team points are calculated as: - the HW points from the number 1 member in that for that HW - + 10% of everyone elses contributions (or for ease of code, everyones points so no.1 counts 110% for the team). That way, you still have an effect on HW sharing, no-one has to delete scores, teams don't get a headache trying to work out who needs to select what scores. There will still be a bias towards the one team member with the cherry, but there always is that issue, unless you remove sponsored people from teams.

The key only lets you mess around with the settings. You can submit even if you haven't got a key. You just can't keep track of them in a single profile.

You'd be surprised what people could do if an API was available I can see graphs with how the top scores for the WR or even individual HW being tracked over time etc.

^^ This.

You're getting confused between hardware points and hardware TPP. It's the general HW points that go to your total and those contribute 10% to the team. You don't earn TPP unless you're no.1 in the team for that hardware.

There's not a clear definition on the HWBot between the following: Team Power Points for HW Global Team Power Points which may be causing the confusion. ----------------------- E.g. Person X and Y are both benching two CPUs A + B. Person X has the best score on CPU A, gets global TPP and normal TPP. Person Y has the best score on CPU B, gets global TPP and normal TPP. If Person X submits a better score than person Y on CPU B, but not as good as his own score on CPU A, the following happens: Person Y loses all his global and normal TPP on CPU B for not being number one in his team for CPU B. Person X gains normal TPP on CPU B, but no global TPP on CPU B because his score on CPU A is better. So team points now loses those extra global TPP. Something like that in this mire of unclear point scoring.

Just more height, so there's like 3cm per 10% rather than less than 1cm. e.g. April 2009 is hard to make out. It also gives space to add brands. Have you not got access or Origin? Makes very pretty/easy to read graphs. Excel is just bleh imo for this sort of thing

Needs expanding in a vertical direction so we can see the nuances Google chart API will produce a nice graph. EVGA peaking from Lynnfield -> Gulftown is interesting. Would be nice to split others into ASRock/Biostar/ECS etc. to see what's what.

This screen in BIOS: http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/1064#15 It has CPU Fan Speed to 'ignore'. Do that.

Or use a fan that does more than 600 RPM at low voltage? Or turn the warning off?

5870, Unigine Heaven, sort by teams, 1 GPU http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_hd_5870/#interval=50|cores=1|rankBy=teams i4memory.com has two lots of TPP? 18. 971.23 DX11 Marks i4memory.com 1285/1300 MHz Radeon HD 5870 1.8 19. 968.8 DX11 Marks i4memory.com 1120/1370 MHz Radeon HD 5870 1.7

http://hwbot.org/team/bench_tec_uk/#Hardware_Library Please could you generate this tab for teams, a list of all HW used. Would make point tracking slightly easier until you get an API available. Also can we have lists of all the HW possible available again, like in Rev. 3. I don't really want to go probing your open php db output with my own code without permission.

I've been part of communities where APIs have been available (BF2, 360voice), and even though all the info is there, it's never really an issue. Most of these places ask you to link to the site (put a 'Powered by hwbot.org' link on each page the API is displayed) where the data is from.

Request: in My Team -> Team Rankings -> Best of 'Team', can we change it so people's names appear on that list, otherwise it's a series of 'Bench Tec UK' rather than 'Person 1' or 'Person 2' and you have to scroll over to see who scored what.

So what you currently have for your search function, which by the look of the code is a POST query to /search with a ?q= tag which filters based on at least a two character input, things like that to help the rest of us to build OC tools, but in an XML or JSON api format. Note, EA have done this for BF for the last few iterations, but their user base is many times bigger, so I doubt the HWBot servers would be hammered that much. It may require redirection to a new machine that keeps a 24hr old copy of the db rather than straight from the main db if you think that's an issue.

You can have several APIs: Benchmark results api User data api Team data api Competition data api In terms of the benchmark api, the following tags I would like available and to filter: User Benchmark 2D/3D Team Country Hardware name Hardware Type (CPU/GPU) Number of cores/GPUs Output data should be all the benchmark results that qualify. You can have a flag for the level of detail required in each output - so output=min for minimum, output=reg for regular, output=full for full, default as minimin. So the full output of each benchmark result should have the following data: Name Team Country Hardware (CPU, GPU, motherboard, mem, details, counts) Score Position Points (HW, Global, WR) Direct Link to result Direct Link to pictures I'm sure I'll think of more, but along those lines.

Will an API be available sometime soon? It would help immensely in deciding what hardware a team should bench for the most profit. Such as api.php?hw=Core+i7+990X&team=BenchTec+UK&benchmark=spi1m Basically I'm asking if HWBot can open up parts of the database for direct query. This is similar to how EA opened up BF2/2142 databases so people could create their own team leaderboards or probe the data. I made one or two websites from that so that people in my teams could sort how good they were in terms of k/d, or dogtags et al - http://www.borandi.co.uk/BC2XS is one example. In terms of search, I think there are plenty of smart things we could do with the data. For example: I want to directly compare my results with XYZ. I want to see where his globals are, where his HW points are, for a direct comparison. I want to see the UK records for the particular cards I have. I want to see how many points I have in each benchmark for the 4870X2, and see what position how many marks I need to get at least 20 HW points. The list goes on. Possibilities for team comparisons more involved and more indepth than what HWBot currently does now is only limited by the number of ideas. If you could throw your weight behind my (long-term) request for an API, it would be awesome and I'd aim to create some neat little tools to help everyone out.

http://uat.hwbot.org/league/enthusiast/ This league calculation leaves much to be desired. It was working correctly on the first time you made it available - did you roll back to a previous, unworking version?

1.73V

I meant the Enthusast league positions/scores. Person in no.1 has 300 points yet no pictures on his submissions, and it has me down in 4000th with 0 points.

http://uat.hwbot.org/competition/gbt_super_tuner/stage/212_3dm01_-_nvidia_400/500_series/ Competition link doesn't work, because the stage has a / in it. http://uat.hwbot.org/achievement/i_am_a_gold_digger./ Also clicking the achievement links to see who has them doesn't work.

Would like to confirm I see this on the Z68X-UD3H-B3 as well, with a 2500K only going to 34x. Note: It works properly with mem at 1333 Mhz, just not above that

Enthusiast table calculation looks borked again? Or still processing?

No Hard Mod required - the main difference between our scores is that I'm using a 2600K @ 5G+. The OC was on the stock cooler

I had a similar situation on a few boards... Try setting the affinity of the prog to one core.
