TheFinalLoser 2003-04-29 15:30:37 | for what does the unit Mpts stands for? how much computer power costs to generate one? (something like P90 Years or Megaflops or so) "So the last will be first, and the first will be last." Mt.20:16 |
Stephen Brooks 2003-04-29 17:17:16 | Stands for Mega-particle-timesteps. In other words it is the number of times the simulation has had to shift a particle forward one timestep, divided by 10^6. Today's weather in %region is Sunny/(null), max. temperature -99999°C |
MaFi 2003-05-06 01:46:29 | @ TheFinalLoser: my computer (athlon xp 2400+ (133*15=2000MHz)) makes about 160 kpts (0.16 Mpts) per second under win2k. the (optimized) linux client produces about 240 kpts / s (e.g. a 100 Mpts simulation takes ~7 min. with the linux client). i hope this is information is useful markus |
Stephen Brooks 2003-05-06 06:01:53 | Sounds like 1 Mpts is about 10^10 clock cycles then (i.e. one particle-timestep takes 10000 cycles). Today's weather in %region is Sunny/(null), max. temperature -99999°C |
