Hopefullly Sherpa jobs are not being sent out under the multi-core plan and are being restricted to the single-core plan? Yes, sometime they are successful. They running at the end of the possible runtime for Theory. Magic wrote 4 Tasks with 2 CPU's are good in 8-Core PC. This will be a good performance therefore (Sherpa). |

what I found out was that the tasks from the new version yield considerably less credit points compared to before. Regardless whether in 1-core or multicore mode.Laurence, is this intentionally, or rather by mistake? |

Regardless whether in 1-core or multicore mode.interestingly enough, two of my rigs (old ones, with really old CPUs) which run on Windows 32-bit systems, using Therory Simulation v263.50 (vbox32) yield markedly better credit results than the high-end machines running on 64-bit, using Theory Simulation v263.60 (vbox64_mt_mcore) |

This discussion about cobblestones can you read in older message-threads! This thread is for new Theory-program! Sorry, Erich. |

This thread is for new Theory-program!And exactly that's the point: why does the new Theory-program yield so much less credit points? I am just curious what's the reason behind it - not more and not less. |

BOINC credit is a mystery even for us. The adapted credit algorithm just does not work in our view. This is an issue for may BOINC projects and is one of the reasons why they are forced to maintain their own forks of the code. For more details on this topic, you can read the issue in the github repository. |

The variability (or randomness) of BOINC credits is a continual subject for discussion at Rosetta. http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=12133&postid=89199#89199 |

So the BOINC credit system indeed seems to be some kind of mystery (to say the least) :-) |
