CL gets highest grade-point average in RAE 2008

The Computer Laboratory obtained the following profile for its Computer Science and Informatics submission to the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 (RAE2008):

4*	3*	2*	1*	Unclassified
45	45	10	0	0

Although profiles are not rank ordered as part of the RAE2008, a commonly applied third-party ranking is via the Grade Point Average (GPA) of the profile. The Computer Laboratory's GPA is 4*0.45 + 3*0.45 + 2*0.10 +1*0.00 = 3.35, which is the highest of all the submissions to Computer Science and Informatics. The Computer Laboratory also shares with the Department of Engineering and the Department of Material Science & Metallurgy the highest GPA among departments in Cambridge.
