I don't see where you disagreed? You are running 4 processes, two on
each of two different processors and each processor with 1 meg L2
cache. That makes 4 processes four your machine.


f/f george.

Please do the math on this.

I have 2 CPU's *EACH* of which crunch a single WU in 6 hours+. (Known fact -
that was what I got *before* installing SETI driver).

So, each CPU does 4 WU (average) a day. Therefore 2 CPU's do 8 WU a day.
Which is what I get. !!



But your implication is that each CPU with 1Mb cache can do 2 WU's
(processes) at once. So, instead of 4 WU per day, each CPU would do 8
(assuming 100% perfect world, which it isn't !!)

So a dual CPU with 4 processes should do 16 WU a day.

But I only get (at most) 8.


That's whay I disagreed

Can you advise me further?
