In practice, the change was very minor (a few %), and we rounded (usually up) existing WUs. The "fast turnaround" bonuses are unchanged (+50% 1d, +25% 2d). Probably the web pages now display the total (bonus included) credit. ID: 22713 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 16 Dec 2011, 17:22:36 UTC It is not possible to say if the old or the new credit figure was more correct, as the # of floating point operations performed by a WU is known only within a margin of error.
