The website and benchmarking slave talk to a PostgreSQL database. It's definitely possible and part of the design to have multiple computers participating in a distributed fashion, although it's also possible to run the setup locally and privately for more ad-hoc testing purposes. I think it's best if participating machines supply data regularly for an extended period of time. Single or infrequent data points for a specific configuration don't make much sense. We need to compare apples to apples. Erik
