Mersenne: Credits per FFT Size

2000-08-28 Thread gordon spence
Marc Getty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wondered previously How does the CPU time contributed get calculated? I would assume that there is a standard credit for each FFT size, but I can't find what that credit is anywhere on mersenne.org. Can anyone help fill in the following? Taking the data from the
