Topic: What does "U" represent in cgminer? (Read 2836 times)
Thanks for the answers
Thanks!
So in my scenarios, I should be using Pool 1 since it has a much higher "U"? Any idea why it's so much higher?

The two different pools are using variable difficulty and they have different targets for that difficulty. Your WU:, aka Worker Utility, or diff 1 shares, is the same and the pools will convert your shares back to diff 1 to pay on. So both pools will pay on about the same number of shares.

If you can't find it in the README, check the first post in the CGMiner thread. There's tons of info there.
WU: is how many diff=1 shares would be submitted if CGMiner submitted all shares. Looks like you're using varrdiff, so the actual number of shares you're submitting are going to be lower. This is the U: number.
Each column is as follows:
U: The Utility defined as the number of shares / minute
U: The Utility defined as the number of shares / minute

I checked the readme, and while it explains what "WU" is, I couldn't find what "U" represents. What does it stand for?
On a somewhat related topic, I mine with 2 pools using my one machine. Here are my readings from the 2 pools:
Pool 1
-------------
U: 21.7/m
WU: 78.3/m
Pool 2
------------
U: 5.2/m
WU: 76.5/m
Everything is the same except for the pool. Why is there such a large difference in "U"?
