Is there any way to tell which projects process more integer vs floating point operations? There are some processors that have MUCH more capability in integer than floating point.

This is true in a general sense (that the integer test scores will always be higher) but I've noticed some systems where the Integer score is WAY higher than expected in relation to floating point.

A user might decide to join a particular project that his/her computer is best suited for.

Honza's chart is also useful (by CPU type rather than by benchmark). There are also other factors such as memory speed (v. important for the climate projects and many others).

By the way the Boinc benchmarks are pretty useless, and can be 'fiddled', and you shouldn't place much weight on them. Thankfully many projects now ignore them for credit purposes. The best benchmark for any application is the application itself, not some synthetic code in a small loop.
