That does sound like a problem. I do know that the WUs for the new batch should take longer, so the credits should be higher. I might have inverted the scale factor. I am currently on vacation, so I won't be able to fix this until I return in 2 days. Hope you've had a good break, looking forward to your return- RAC has been in freefall for the last few days. I'm not sure exactly what happened with the credit scale factor, but it was definitely way off. I have fixed the credit for all "ready to send" WUs as well as the future WUs for 16x10. I could change the credit on the already processed WUs but that will not fix the total credit of the users. I am not sure how to get those lost credits back other than writing an elaborate script which doesn't sound fun at the moment. So I apologize for that. ID: 4149 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

You're one of the most communicative and responsive Admins of Projects around so you're entitled to a mix up once in a while :) ID: 4150 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm not overly fussed about the Tasks that have already been done with the lower Credit, just glad it's been sorted and all new Tasks are resulting in a more appropriate level of Credit. You're one of the most communicative and responsive Admins of Projects around Actually, in a league of your own. A great example for all the other projects IMHO. Grant Darwin NT, Australia.

I didn't realize other projects were unresponsive. Anyways, I've always felt it's the least I could do for the volunteers, since you guys are the ones doing the heavy lifting.

I also learned some things about GPU computation that i ended up applying to my own project while studying my masters degree ID: 4160 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
