I'm not actually interested in gaining credits (I cannot buy anything with them), but I see many people are. So: if I run one 1000 events ATLAS task with 28 cpus, it can end in about 1 hour (elaboration time), and I get about 500 credits for it. Every day, that's about 12000 credits. If I run 10 task at the same time, 3 cores each (total 30 cores instead of 28, who cares), they will end in about 9 hours. I get 4500 credits for each task, so in total 45000 task in 9 hours. That's more than 100000 credits a day. Almost ten times more. And the second solution looks less efficient: the CPU time used by a task is about 90000 second with 28 cores, and more than 95000 with three. What's the logic in it? I mean: a bit of variation is IMHO negligible... but TEN times? -- Bye, Lem |

I'm running 1000-event Atlas tasks too, but mine are earning about 3,000 credits each. |

Am I the only one getting a gateway timeout on the server status page? Everything else seems to be loading properly (with some latency, as usual nowadays). The dev server status page also loads just fine. Tried different browser, different laptop/phone, same result. Oops, poste in the wrong thread, sorry.
