Hoe zit het met de punten van de SMP werkunits?
Points are determined by the performance of a given machine relative to a benchmark machine, similar to the CPU client benchmark process. Before releasing any new project (series of work units), we benchmark it on a dedicated Macintosh Pro with 2 – 2.33 GHz Dual Core Xeon processors. (more specifically, 2 Woodcrest 5140 processors with 4 MB cache (each), 5 GB FBDIMM Memory (667 MHz DDR2), 1.33 GHz Bus) We plug the results of this benchmark test into the following formula: points = 1760 * (daysPerWU) where daysPerWU is the number of days it took to complete the work unit. Please note the very concept of a reference machine will mean that some WU performance will vary from the performance on your machine. Even between various Xeon processors, there are significant differences in architectures. Moreover, there are variations between WUs within a given project which can lead to speed differences. Our goal is consistency within a given definition of a reference machine setup (described abov
