	Hi, When we crunch a single WU are we doing full simulations or does a WU only contain a part of a simulation which then gets joined together with other WUs to make up the full simulation?

	Hi microchip, Simulations are splitted typically in about 10-40 WUs that crunch sequentially.The second takes as input the output of the first one and so on... Additionally, we run hundreds of copies of each simulation or experiment. That way we get accurate statistics of the processes we study. Hope that answers your question. Cheers, i

	maybe, we should explain how we work on page and the credit system.

	...or create an FAQ, which would be searchable, modifiable, expandable and probably easier than changing a web page. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help
