I'm using optimized seti clients and boinc clients so my computers ask more credit than they must to, but what about ignoring my Claimed Credit instead of granting me the half of the median of the C.C.

I'm physicist and I know people working at CERN/ LHC. I'm the first in crunching power in Spain i have 12 PC only crunching workunits, it's a good donation i think, so why the hell they penalize me.

I've corrected this with the fair Truxoft Boinc Callibrated Client.

The only perturbations on global median ara around 10% if I claim double the credit I do, so the correrctive factor is 1/1.10 and it isn't 1/2.

Sorry, but I'm very uppset with this because, i have 2500 C.C. pending that will transform in only 800
G.C. It's not fair

You didn't link an example, so my guess is this result was invalid.
And LHC grants 1/2 the credits despite the invalidity.

http://lhcathome.cern.ch/results.php?hostid=100692

new results arrived first or second to database and they granted me half the credit.

if we calculate median of the values my result doesn't affect this value.
don't matters if the max or min value are infinity or 0.

now i claim better the credit with truxoft callibrated client

All those with only 50% granted have "Validate state : Invalid" - probably not totally wrong (as you got some credits) but not close enough.

I guess, it takes the median from the valid results so using an optimized BOINC client will not change much as long as the results don't validate OK - but I'm not absolutely sure about that.

Perhaps my credit sent are on workunits with errors. I don't think so, but just now i'm doing a memtest because on 2nd Jan i added 1 gig of RAM, and probably that is the answer, because of high precission on Sixtrack aplicattion.

About, the median, it's good and fair, and probably there are no penalties.

Who doesn't believe in median and still believe in cheating please Use Openoffice Calc o M$ Excel, 4 coulumns and hundred of rows( 3 random Claimed Credit,1 with yours C.C do median of 4 and you and you will be convinced, not an apreciable cheat or abuse is possible.

I like very much participate in such a big calculation like this, and the forum repplies are a lot.

Did you know that optimized clients could spend 1/3 times the time (on average) than official x86 compilations.

If software ( free or Gnu soft, also) could all being optimized computers will run like light on vaccum. jajaj lol

Windows 3 times faster on same processor. Pentium 3.8GHz@12GHz with no overclocking, WOW.

And using hardware specific calculations XX times faster, when a Science Accelerator, like 3d Graphics or sound, or Mpeg encoders...
When the physics in one Chip?

Memtest of Ram didn't detect any errors, probably is boinc client the reason of invalid state i'll try installing Boinc official client.
