Stupid question on Mutations / Samples

Post by PhilBo » Thu Jun 14, 2007 3:10 am

I did some searching and didn't exactly find the answer, so please don't flame me if the answer was right in front of my face.

I just set up two dual cores in my house and am testing the speed of the combined setup versus each on their own. I have seen posts with the words "muts/pixel" and "muts/sec". Is this the same as the output of "samples/pixel" and "samples/sec" that shows in the log file and in Indigo?

Is the samples/pixel value used to determine how far a render is and when you could stop (after 4000 samples/pixel for example) ? Is the samples/sec used to benchmark the performance?
