The credit system has been broken since inception, and gotten worse since "Credit New" kicked off some years ago. Discussion pointless as no one with the power to do something about it or force a hand is willing to invest the time, period, full stop, basta, exclamation mark.
Sorry, but that's the reality [and the army that will come along to say they don't care ;]. |

ok understood ! reality prime on every thg and i will stick to crunching
----------------------------------------for MCM anyway.badges are just for the fun. but how can we attract new members in a system rotten "some years ago" and let in oblivion?  |

[and the army that will come along to say they don't care ;] Yeap, I don't care... points are useless  . I tried to buy something with my WCG points at the local Walmart and was escorted to the exit.   CJSL Crunching for a brighter future... ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by cjslman at Feb 9, 2015 10:27:11 PM] |

well i ask again :
----------------------------------------CPU time accounts for badges then when a wu is labelled "too late" but have a cpu time 6,11/6,11 ( pts 00/00) is that time taken in account for badges? |

Does anyone knows if MCM make use of FPU or is an Integer-only software?
I'm seeing some difference between old PhenomII and new FX cpu. The old seems to be around a 20% faster at same clock frequency. The OS is (almost) the same: gentoo linux. Thanks. |

Don't know. Some sciences are near exclusively float, some are integer, some are a mix. Integer seems to run much faster on Linux, compared to Windows, so if in dual boot MCM runs substantially quicker on Linux, then there's larger integer element. To me though, never noticed a speed difference between the 2 OSses for this science. It's a roundabout reasoning how to derive if it's one or the other.

Why on earth would Linux be faster?
----------------------------------------On a Win7 setup with 16GB of RAM and pagefile disabled, every WU runs exclusively off RAM, I can't seem to fathom how an OS would make such a difference (60% I read?) (I'm not arguing, I'm just amazed)   [Edit 1 times, last edit by Chilean at Apr 21, 2015 1:48:23 PM] |

An OS makes use of libraries... the applications use platform specific libraries in the compile. Some libraries have been better optimized for Linux [works for OS-X too]. Just look at the BOINC integer benchmark [Dhrystone] on Windows versus that on Linux/Mac... it's a factor 2 to 3 higher. Whetstone [Float] is virtually the same. Been like that since a long long time, if not always.
