llrnet point calculation

2007-02-05, 16:41

What impact does time have on llrnet point calculation? Of course the P4 runs this much faster than an athlon. The question centers around whether there would be an earned point difference between a P4 and an athlon crunching the same test?

Points are only calculated on the size of the workunit. There is no adjustement for the time it takes to complete. The client does not give
any usefull runtime information so even if we wanted to implement something
there would be no real fair way to do it.

So the recomendation stays sieve with an AMD and prp with a P4.

You are just bound and determined to force me into buying a C2D it looks like... :)
