Liberto,

What LHC is looking for is the same mathematical result for a WU, i.e. having three computers agree that 2+2=4. It's not about how long it has taken to compute the result or how much the machine "charged" the project for the calculations.

Ok, thank you, was just curious! No problem!
Patience is a virtue

Markku,

Thank you for the explaination.

Cheers,

Detach from LHC is the best way !!!!
Crunch others

seti also has big performance problems ... cpdn has these very huge wus

so I think LHC isn't that bad!

Haven't been following the LHC-forums lately, since 99% of the time thinks of checking LHC is having it's nightly shutdown, so late to answer.


LHC have only applications for windows & linux, so it will maybe make more platforms, but these platforms will not get any wu assigned to them so shouldn't slow down wu-distributing and crediting in any way.

Therefore, the distributed wu will at most be split into 9 different "homogenous platforms" under LHC.
