Green dot upon lose of engine: A319
Does your system compute a new green dot speed upon lose of one engine? or is it the same one you had for two-engines. I have been receiving mixed answers on this one.

It's the same....
Green dot is not changed.....it's your best angle of climb speed with OEI (one engine inoperative). It is NOT your best angle of climb speed with all engines operative. Your best angle of clomb speed with all engines operative will be slightly higher than green dot...like maybe green dot + 10. (I can't remember exactly, and I don't have my FCOMs and FCTM with me here as I'm on holiday.)
Please refer to your FCTM for the details. There is an excellent discussion in there about this.
