12) Message boards : Number crunching : Why my Granted Credit is just the half GC than other who did same work? (Message 12312) Posted 23 Jan 2006 by J D K Post: Dud, good catch Mr Pernod.. Maybe this will help him, this is from the FAQs; 2.5 How and when do I get credit? The new validator works like this: A workunit gets validated when it has 3 identical results. Users that returned identical results will get same amount of credit, which is an average of claimed credit when lowest and highest value is ignored. In most cases this is the median of the claimed credits. This credit is called "canonical credit". If work unit has 10 successful results but there are not enough identical results, the results are granted points according to how well they match with other results. The best-matching result will receive median average of claimed credits (calculated in same way as the canonical credit). Other results will get credit proportional to the best credit and result's match points. Although users get credit from this kind of results, the results are not used in physical studies. Please note that different CPU architectures may yield different floating point results. This is especially true between Pentium and Athlon XP CPUs. Although differing results are not used in physical studies, they may still be useful to us in finding possible problems in our software. Of course, this requires that the CPU used for calculations doesn't produce real errors. This can happen especially on overclocked CPUs. Even if the overclocked system seems to work fine (maybe an unexplained crash once in a month or so) it might skip one bit in one of the 10^14 floating point calculations commonly done in a work unit, producing highly different end result. Such a bad results will actually cause gray hairs to us, so if you have overclocked CPU and get lots of unvalidated results, consider lowering the clock speed or detaching from the project.

(Message 12304) Posted 23 Jan 2006 by J D K Post: One more time, the way it works three to make a quorum, you take the high score and the low score and delete them and you get what is left, the middle score, simple but effective....
14) Message boards : Number crunching : EDF oddity (Message 12230) Posted 21 Jan 2006 by J D K Post: May be this will help.... Work Scheduler EDF (earliest date first) is caused by: 1) A deadline within 24 hours. 2) A deadline within 2 * the connect time. 3) A failure of the Round Robin simulator to finish a result within 90% of its deadline. A project not requesting work is caused by: 1) A host that is in NWF (no work fetch) 2) A project that has enough work on a host that has enough work. 3) A project that has a LTD that is negative enough. NWF (no work fetch) is caused by: 1) A failure of the Round Robin simulator to get a result done within 90% of a deadline if the resource share of the next project to request work from is added to the Round Robin simulation. Work will always be requested from somewhere, even if that somewhere has a very negative LTD and/or the host is in NWF (no work fetch) if there is a CPU that is idle and there is a network connection.

(Message 12229) Posted 21 Jan 2006 by J D K Post: First of all you are claiming a lot more than you should by using the optimized CC, and some people consider this cheating or borderline cheating... The credits are awarded after a quorum is met and the high score and low score are removed and the middle score is awarded to everyone, so I see this as fair..... ____________
