Example 1; Goldbach's Conjecture Project. 3 computers getting different credits. Computer 1 AMD Athlone 64 X2 running Windows XP X64 taking aprx. 2 min. to process a WU and claiming .61 credits average. Computer 2 amd athlone XP 2200+ running Window XP 32bit taking aprx. 2 min. to process a WU and claiming .31 credits average. And computer 3 AMD Phenom II X4 940 running Windows XP 32bit taking aprx 1 min 56 seconds and claiming .58 credits average. How cand there be such a great difference in credits claimed? We are talking about 50% difference. That is U N A C E P T A B L E. see the next post for more.

Complain at the project. BOINC doesn't do any calculations, that's up to the science application. Then again, they don't even have a real application yet, they're merely running the BOINC test application.

I wouldn't go overboard on the credits until they actually have an application that does do some real science, instead of what it's doing now, converting text from a text file to upper case characters.

Example 2; I have 5 computers working on one project, Yoyo sub project Euler which takes between 15 and 20 min. per WU depending on WU. Credits range from about 6 to 12. 2 of these computers are almost identical, both run Windows XP X64, Core i7 920's one has 3 gigs of ram the other 6 gigs and they both have different video cards. Yet on one I get 6 to 7 average credit and the other I get 7 to 8 average credit. when you are talking about tens of thousands of WU done it make a big difference and yet my Atlone 64 X2 has an average of 10-11 credits per WU.

Now can someone tell me how to fix it so my computers get the same amount of credits...........................................

I am so pissed I really have to think of stopping this crunching because it is irritating me to much.

As I said above, complain at the affected projects. BOINC doesn't set the credits, the projects do that.

The way I see it, most projects pay the claimed credits. They do not tell my computers how much to claim. That is decided by my computers so therefore it's my computers who are not claiming enough. I have taken averages from other people and found I always get less credits than they do. So I need to tell my computers to claim more credits. If you can't tell me how to do that, Well............./...

I am most certainly not going to complain to 42 projects.

Before that I will stop crunching.


And by the way, you remind me of a teenager who thinks he knows everything.

you remind me of a teenager who thinks he knows everything.

That was totally unnecessary.

Locking this thread.
