Too much credit ?
(Message 2513)
Posted 29 Jul 2019 by Theadalus Post: Yep, CreditNew. Seems to be the only way to fairly handle both CPU and GPU tasks. Well, based on my (recent) experience on YAFU (also using CreditNew), i would suggest not to use it. There's completely no relation between workunit run time and credits assigned, looks like the credits are assigned by a random generator. I had several identical machines running there for almost 3 weeks 24/7, 100% BOINC, same type of WU's, so the crediting system had time enough to "stabilize", still the highest credit machine had over more than 3 times (!!!) the credits the lowest credit machine had. While on other projects (without CreditNew) these machines accumulate about the same credits. The thing which bothered me most is that the project admin over there has totally no idea how the crediting works, and points to BOINC/Berkeley when participants are complaining about it! >( So i did the same as most users did over there; leave the project! Please don't make the same mistake. |
