Unité de travail 8375913 Unité de travail 8375916 The default CreditNew is used here, probably the main reason for the difference as it does not work very well Conan ID: 1847 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I still don't understand why projects keep using CreditNew, it's been a pain since it has been created ... Because it's the default meaning it's built-in into the Server side version of Boinc. to change it one Admin, not from here, said there were like 3 places in the software to change it. He said it was not as easy as it sounds!! ID: 1892 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

But what credit do you assign when some tasks take 2 seconds while the next can take several days? Fixed would not be fair so how does a project calculate the work done? CreditNew. For projects with variable run times it's the only real option. ID: 1893 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

From my side on Yafu 4t using 32 CPU threads, when it reaches above 20000s of run time then credits are ridiculous, other cases follow around the same Run time/credits ratio (for me ~2cr/s): WU \| Run time \| CPU time \| Credit 10957165 \| 2.01 \| 0.00 \| 3.61 10953847 \| 2,762.00 \| 66,185.12 \| 5,418.39 10949238 \| 20,092.00 \| 23,919.55 \| 771.85 ID: 1922 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
