See also Host 6491 and Host 6487 Both are Core i3 computers with 10,000 cores ????? If they were the controlling host of a large computer network, then it could be possible but in this case I doubt it. Maximum number of threads used by Host 6421 (reported earlier) is 64 threads. So you don't need 10,000. Conan |

nope, did not need 10,000. running a test to see just how many threads really started up. it max'es out at 64. so host with 64 real/HT type cpus can really do well. I'm done testing and have put everything back to normal. I do know letting it start all 64 threads even on a 2/4 core host it had lower run times. the AMD running with 2 cpus/threads was still running after 26 hours, 64 threads took about 19. same task. system rebooted after 26 hours so I set it up for 64 threads. but, you had better not do it, you can't really control the number of tasks that get downloaded! as far as the credits go maybe the 1st 1 or 2 payed well, but then the credit system kicked in and ripped the heck out of the payout. anyway, done, again don't do it unless your willing to have a fubar on you. |
