1) Message boards : Number crunching : LHC BOINC work credits (Message 25679) Posted 27 Jul 2013 by KWSN - Baron Von Crunchenstein Post: To whom it may concern, Whomever is the department head, in charge of the free community computing department, (BOINC, etc), concerning LHC@home work credits seems in need of either; A. A lesson in arrogance. B. Remedial training in marketing and math. Just sayin. I run BOINC 7.0.64 I can run an "advertised" 00:10:30:00 hour LHC program which actually takes 00:21:00:00 hours to run and be credited with 200 points. OR I can run an "advertised" 00:01:30:00 Milkyway@home project which actually takes 00:02:45: 00 and be credited 106 points. Do the math. Which tends to lead my thinking, "if such a prestigious endeavour as the LHC can drop the ball on such mundane items BOINC credit points, is it not also possible that the finding of the Higgs Boson was simply a political pencil whip of "Yes we found it?""
