Is there anyone here who counted how many days can it take to get 100,000 points to achieve a $ 0.20 prize in the world community grid project?
It depends of your hardware, likely 2 or 3 days on a quad-core desktop computer.
I think that this is not possible even on 4 cores...
Maybe someone checked it?
My tests, 2.5 day in project:
Points Generated (Rank) 4,725
Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) (Rank) 0:000:21:54:52
CPU.
Intel® Pentium® Processor G3258
3M Cache, 3.20 GHz
But the GPU can work too, but I do not know how it works yet...
Maybe your units are still in validation, they can take a few days to be validated.
I make 25000 pts a day on a i7-7700HQ which is a laptop CPU. I'm on Linux, I heard that it performs better than Windows for WCG.
