Tim,
A point to discuss in the DAB.
Is the recent improvement in ATI productivity due to increased folding efficiency or by increasing the value of ATi WUs? I ask, because I noticed that the nVidia WU p11175 is described as Ab42gb, 627 atoms, 1352 points while ATi WU p11292 is described as Ab42gb, 627 atoms, 2224 points. That 64% difference in value accounts for almost all of the ATi improvement, if they are the same WU. Before I get upset about it, It would be nice to know if it's true. If it is, what's next? Creating AMD specific WUs and valuing them to bring them closer to Intel production? I suppose ultimately science will prevail. Pande Group can not afford to artificially close the gap too much, lest they influence buying decisions in a way that negatively impacts the amount of science done.
