Massive drop of credits per CPU hour
(Message 377)
Posted 22 Nov 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: 55 credits for 36 hours. Oh how we laughed. Quoth DA: The goals of CreditNew involve long-term averages. It makes no promises about individual jobs or about credit/hour. CreditNew = apparently random credits to individual users. IOW, be lucky or be screwed. |

Unexpected warning...

Posted 3 Nov 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: So you use BAM? If so, that could be the cause. Willy had to change/fix the attaché URL. And to do that, he may have had to do the delayed attach thing with the old URL. |

Massive drop of credits per CPU hour

Posted 4 Sep 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: I crunch for the science and don't give 2 hoots for the credits but you'll find a lot of crunchers hate CreditNew with a passion because it doesn't yield the credits per hour they expect to receive. Heh. It's a LOT more complicated than that. Yes, sometimes credits are too low, and sometimes they are too high. The reality is that there is no rhyme or reason. It's completely random. On top of that, it penalizes application optimization, which should be encouraged. It penalizes building faster machines, which should be encouraged. There are a number of other problems with it, when you start to include 32 vs 64 bit, GPUs, etc. But enough said. I am not here to argue it really. I will leave it with this: Yes, a lot of crunchers hate CreditNew, and for valid reasons. |

Posted 19 Aug 2011 by zombie67 [MM] Post: From the front page: The final results of this project will be complete tables of number fields. The results are given in table form or as a searchable database. I assume this means that this project has a finite run time, and not open ended. Approximately how long will this take to complete? A month, year, 10 years? Just looking for a ballpark. Thanks! |
