I have noted to myself and my own private amusement that many of those that claim that credit is not why they attach to a project, yet they have their posts tagged with a signature banner announcing their totals to the world as I do (well, everywhere but here as I cannot get the preferences page to work, or anyone in the project to acknowledge that there is a problem, but I digress...)

I don't know that I really regard it as keeping score as much as I see it as measuring my contribution ...


Its threads development like these with tit for tat points that makes me wish we a had POLL!

Sweet simple to the point poll.

Do you want a 3 foot or a 6 foot Poll ... :)

Actually I think you might see people Aborting the Longer Wu's instead of the Shorter ones if your going to give them all the same Credit, just a thought ...

...same elapsed time approximatively and same credits/day.

gdf


The similar elapsed times might be true for the fastest cards, but on mid- and low-level GPU's the differences can be substantial. For example, my 9600GSO runs the 18xx units in about 15 hours, but recently got a 29xx unit that went just over 24 hours.

So to be clear, you are saying that the project is working on better calculation methods to match different ms/step workunits to consistently equal runtimes with equal credit for all types of work (and thus, our reporting credit differentials will be helpful as we continue to refine this process)?

Dear all,
the "reduced credits" WUs should in fact return more credits than the normal one.
This is not the case, because we could not measure all the flops accurately as we use precompiled libs from nvidia. We have asked help from them to have a better way to measure this in the future.


I am not sure if I understand all I know about this ... but, check is in the mail and I will wait patiently ...

For the time being we will set the credits to be the same. The delay in doing this change is that we had a very bad period with the server scheduler which drained a lot of human resources.


Glad we have THAT behind us ... :)

We are also looking at the avatar problem.


THANK YOU ...

It is more than avatars ... it is all settings on that page ... typically this is because of unmatched code changes on the server or more commonly a missing change to the database (thus a table has the wrong number of columns and the query statements don't align) ... pass it along ... :)

When will this take affect GDF as I'm still seeing a difference in the Credit's for the different Wu's ... ???

We are setting up a new Windows build system.
A couple of days, maybe less.

Are these going to be the New Equalized Credit Wu's for Windows Box's > SH2_US_3-0-40-SH2_US ??? If so they take about 30-60 Minutes longer on my GTX 260-280 Cards than the ones that Paid 3232.06 Credits but these only Pay 2831.95 Credits ...

I ask that because I haven't seen them before but now it seems thats about all I'm getting since last night ...
