So what is the point system setup for? I use it as a gage of accomplishment. And it gives me something to compare to others crunching. Randy 
Crunching for humanity since 2007!

So what is the point system setup for? Also, once you know what your daily average score is, it is a convenient and quick way to know if everything runs as expected in your machine(s) regarding grid computing. Can also help to detect a background activity (eventually unwanted) which would use more CPU than you think reasonable.  Cheers. Jean. |
