Message 63442 - Posted: 8 Aug 2015, 23:42:30 UTC

I am running a Mac at 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5. 16gb 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. I was wondering if there was anything I needed to do to optimize my computer for processing tasks. I feel as if my computer is processing the tasks slower than it should. On Rosetta@home I am getting an average credit of 231.61. Is there anyway of increasing this? I saw a guy with an average credit of 3,146.53. Please let me know. Thanks.

If the project supports doing work through an Intel, AMD or Nvidia GPU, start using that. That'll increase your RAC tenfold.

Else it's an accumulation of the RAC of several computers the other guy had under his account. Run e.g. 10 Xeons with 24 cores per computer and these will run work faster than one i5 with four cores.
