It is known that *nix clients claim less credit than Windows clients. This is a problem of the benchmarks that BOINC runs. LHC@Home can use its own benchmarks? If yes, you can, for example, select a particular WU and run it in all the clients as a benchmark. This should be the fairest system to determine computer speed. |

AFAIK it's been already dealt with with the newer Boinc clients, and the ridiculous amounts of claimed credit from the old 4.19 for windoze are no longer there (if you changed to the new client, as I did ;) So, if the project claims a client newer then, say, 4.45, all should be fine. (btw: atm I claim less credit in Seti, as I run the optimized app., but not the (benchmark-)optimized client, as I only run it 10% and don't want to cheat with the other projects) Grüße vom Sänger ![]() |

I use version 4.43 for GNU/Linux, and all my finished WUs claimed less credit than eventually obtained. |
