If you post the wrong script then why don't you edit your post with the wrong script and replace it with the correct one?

And please, post code in [code]...[/code] tags, not only for better readability but mainly for the reason that the forum code may gobble up certain character sequences in your code because they may be interpreted as bbcode or sometimes smileys (you know that e.g. [i] isn't that uncommon in code, guess what happens if that were in your code snippets posted like you did).

Additionally you violate forum rule #32 (see here for rules to avoid possible trouble).


Every time you split, you increase your running time by 41%. Two splits? Double your time.
I'm not soo deep in the technicalities of the method using Kangaroos. Do you (or anybody else) mind explaining in more or less short words why there's such a significant penalty by splitting the range? I struggle a bit at the moment to wrap my head around for an explanation.

If that's is so, than splitting the range to distribute work to multiple GPUs seems not the time and energy efficient way. What's the more efficient work load distribution method? Distributing the number of Kangaroos over multiple GPUs all working on the same range? How to sync efficiently?

My apologies, I'm probably too much of only an interested bystander whose brain has been (partially?) fried by too much of let's say sub-par thought-out ideas and brain-dead chit-chat in the mega threads

You may have a point. Questions should always be possible. It's sometimes easier to bark than to wiggle the tail or be constructive, call it whatever you want. Questions are sometimes or more often misinterpreted as stupid or lazyness or whatever. It happens that others react harsh, me included, when newbies step in and "do their thing" (no pun intended, everybody here once was a newbie).

It's good to point that out, helps to reflect if ones own response is actually appropriate.
