I just restarted a machine to run out the work units, now that we look down.

Like usually happens the benchmark started right after the machine started and while the anti-virus also wanted to update.

I then re-ran them to see if all the other applications also running and starting effected the benchmark.

I'm not sure if this variation can be repeated but I was wondering how this effects credit. Which is better credit wise?

Mines like so:

3/20/2009 8:57:24 PM Running CPU benchmarks
3/20/2009 8:57:24 PM Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks
3/20/2009 8:57:55 PM Benchmark results:
3/20/2009 8:57:55 PM Number of CPUs: 4
3/20/2009 8:57:55 PM 3507 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
3/20/2009 8:57:55 PM 10321 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

But I have a Q9300 Quad cpu running at 3.51GHz.

It only affects the projects that still use benchmarks for credit calculations. SETI@Home uses FPOPs and not benchmarks so it has no affect on credit here. It does, however, have an affect upon work fetch as I understand it.

Yeah that's so true, But they are fun to see.

Thanks OzzFan.

Those are some nice looking numbers SuperJoker.


P.S. SuperJoker,

I looked at your task. Your doing four work units at a time in 900 seconds about while I'm doing two at a time in about 14,000 second, if I reading it right.

Man have things changed fast.
