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. |
