Hi all,

The Cobblestone is 1/200 day of CPU time on a reference computer that does 1,000 MFLOPS based on the Whetstone benchmark.

Floating point operations per seconds: RAC/200 in GigaFLOPs
with RAC = Recent Average Credit
as the average number of Cobblestones per day granted recently. This average decreases by a factor of two every week.

I am interested in the precise definition of "recently". Does it mean that the factor 1/2 per week stands for a simple first order low pass filter with a transfer function 1/(1+Ts) having a time constant that resembles a decay of the weighted input value of 50 % of per week?
