Why are there different sizes of work-units for Windows and Mac? On my windows machine (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=2423) I receive work units that grant appr. 1.15 credits while on my Macs (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=2420) there are only much smaller work units that grant only 0.63 credits. |
