Please allow me to ammend that comment.. it's not quite worded right.

Faster machines will CLAIM less credit for the same WU as a slower machine because of the ratio of the standard_computer/benchmark *IF* both spend 100%. This is because the 'elapsed time' is also taken into the equation.

The actual equation is closer to:
Complexity_Factor * (standard_computer / ('cpu time'/'elapsed time') )

This basically says... give all your time to a difficult WU and get the most credit... Notice that 'cpu_time/elapsed_time' is the key. The next factor is the 'standard computer'.. and finally the 'complexity....

I will post the equation after I'm all done with getting things working and we can work it out as a group... because it *DOES* need fixing.


For now, Good night my friends....

I have fixed enough code for one night... it's 5:24am and I must be at work on time (mid-day shift.... 12pm - 8pm). The morning team arrived already at 4am.... (we are in sync with east coast right now..that's why).


Cheers all,
