It uses two CPUs on my machine and runs for about 2 hours (elapsed time) and yet the credit gained is considerably less than processes running for a shorter time on only one CPU.

My task 603453015 (Separation v1.46) was running 3.653 seconds on the cpu and i got 227 credit points My task 604764464 (N-Body Simulation V1.76) was running 88.7555 seconds on the cpu and i got 1.198 credit points More than twenty times computing power and only five times of the credits... This difference is too much [/img] ID: 69770 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
