WU Compression

Post by Ultra Nexus »

Hello!

I´d like to know, the same way the WUs are downloaded compressed, if the output can also be, before sending the results back to the servers. This is specially important as with some SMP WUs that the download size are usually 4.5Mb-5Mb (and decompressed to 27Mb) but the results are sent uncompressed the same size, 27Mb aprox.

Is this feasible?

Thanks!

They are already compressed ... but there are always things that you can't compress ...
