Riddle me this, friends:

My system rates 196. I get 1200 or so points with each return (twice the average). It takes me about 32 hours to process a work unit.

So, how is our team's Avg. CPU Time Per Result 18:50:46?

Do they issue paticularly processing-intensive work units to members with high device scores or does someone on our team have a supercomputer?

The length of time per WU can vary considerably (regardless of CPU)

Your time of 32 hours I would say is near the top end of the reach considering your CPU / PC rating. Your rating & the time it took would explain why you get such a high point value

example: my rating was 100 and I completed a WU in around 11 hours on a K7-7 but got only 186 points.

I expect that you will start to get shorter WUs in the near future & you will find that your machine will fly through them.

There is an additional factor involved in the calculation of the points also depending upon a perceived "value" of the results returned. This makes it difficult to compare contribution based even upon points. none-the-less it is still more appropriate than total time or # WUs f you are comparing results over a long period of time.

Nothing to worry about. You got some big Work Units and some good results there.

your device rating bracket will depend on what you recieve.
if you only have 1G for grid then it will get smaller units than someone who has 10G for example.

i have a massive one right now - processed for 11h 5mins only 27% done. it will take about 48hours//2days to complete.

Ah.

Thanks, men.

Ric, take a look at my stats, my average is excellent 'cos 5 WUs were downloaded on my PII 399 W98 machine then rejected after 10 seconds processing for each. But the stats show that I've done 5 WU's :shock:

So all my averages are shot away.

My laptop is about to finish it's 3rd, 50+ hours 94%

where i posted saying i couldnt get it to work on the pent gateway - i think its casue it only has 32 or 64 meg of memory. i will swap it for 512 from here a bit later and see how it reacts lol :P. hopefully the mobo will take DDR not sd only - or are they backwards compatible only working at half speed if in slow mobo ?

[BigDawg]

just completed my first unit, 1243 points, took 34 hrs.

processor 236
overall score 200 woohoo!!!

[AMDave]

Excellent Bill.

Looks like a large proportion of the WUs will be around that run time.

Great overall score too. BTW.

[Ototero]

There are 58 members in this team :shock:

And we've jumped to position 23 from 66.

Everybody who is in the team now, will show in tomorrow stats.

Congrats to Beerknurd for being in No. spot.

This is gonna be a one way roller coaster ride, straight to No. position :roll:

Yea!!!! I'm first at something.... But I figure it won't last long..... :cry:
