1) Message boards : News : Longer work units (Message 815) Posted 27 Nov 2015 by Daniel Beer (Unity of Man) Post: Hi, if I look at the v3 v0.02 results, they gave me 1333.33 credits per WU at about 20,000s needed processing time. At least that is written behind the results in the bottom table. In the fifth line right under the resultnumber is written 333.33. Why this??? http://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=2765721 The new WUs of v3 v0.04 (1333.33/1538.46) or v4 v0.02 (1333.33/952.38) have a similar Problem, but anyhow they need about the same time, but the newer is giving half credit?! http://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=2848417 http://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=2945356 Interesting enough, my first v4 v0.02 result is showing the credits right: 952.38 at both positions ...! http://universeathome.pl/universe/workunit.php?wuid=2945333 At least the ULX are consistent in credits rewarded, and as four ULX will need about the same time as one v3 v0.04 or one v4 0.02 and as three of them will still give more credit then than v4 v0.02 ones, there is a clear Preference to them as of credits ... So why you do not give credits in relation to the time needed? is processing power not the same as processing power? If one Task needs four times longer than another on some typical architecture, it should get four times the credits ... I personally are not of that credithunter type, all projects are getting spent my processing time, but in relation to their credits per minute on my system. But only their best crediting app ... From time to time I am checking it again. So ULX give about 53 credits per hour on my architecture, so I assign this as resource share in BOINC and will disable the other applications of Universe ... But Primegrids "Sierpinski Problem ESP/PSP/SoB (Sieve) v1.12" gives me 151.79 credits per WU finished in less than one hour, so it gets a credit share of 178 and runs for 3.5 the time than Universe ... PLEASE CARE FOR YOUR CREDITS -- it doesn't cost you anything, but it shows how much you are interested in the time/resources spent. Daniel Beer (<-- Even if I never drink it ;)
