This has puzzled me for a while.

Given that PS3 and GPU WUs are awarded similar credits, one would assume that they do a similar amount of work and produce similar results.

GPU results are less than 2Mb but PS3 results are over 50Mb

Is there a reason for this?

The ps3s cell processor produces more complex computations.. so i can only guess it makes a larger report..??

I'm only having a stab,so someone correct me if i'm wrong..

At the moment the GPU WU is returning only the energies not the trajectories.
