Hi all, I was wondering if there was a thread somewhere that showed how points gained is worked out.

I assume it is something to do with speed the unit is completed in, but I was not sure so thought it would not hurt to pose the question!

The credit value of tasks is fixed and is based on 5.44 credits per double precision Tflop (10^12 flop) of calculations. The value of 5.44 represents twice the credit multiplier of single precision projects. Double precision is used to give greater accuracy but uses more hardware resources.
