[SOLVED] difference of large Work units to small ones

~~Mcninjaguy~~ · 01-06-2009, 01:55 AM

I do large WU's over 10mb it takes arounnd 1hr55m per WU averaging 470 points. average points per day is 5,351.23 points

the only way for me to tell each WU points worth is to FAHmon

what about everyone else how big are your WU's?

I dont know it just runs in the background, there is a page somewhere at F@H website that explains how WU points are calculated.

hmmmm well can you find it for me?

There are 3 types of standard WUs, Gromacs, AMBER and QMD. Each are calculated differently.

All GPU2 WUs are Gromac based. Here's a list of all WUs and their points value.
