Message 6029 - Posted 21 Sep 2010 15:13:28 UTC

All of my recent WUs
take ABOUT the same amount of time and
claim ABOUT 70 credits.
Most of them
receive ABOUT 140 credits
but a few
receive EXACTLY 102.00 credits.
Is this a feature or a bug ?

i think everyone's does this, nothing to worry about, i think that if you look closely, you will notice a difference in the run times. cpu wise.

nope :-) cpu times for the 102.00 credit WU's are in the same range as those giving around 140 credits.
About a week ago I had some slightly quicker WU's - claimed around 65 credits, awarded around 130 credits - less cpu-time than the 102.00 credit WU's.
Most WU's vary slightly in credits whereas these 102.00 credit WU's give PRECISELY 102.00 credits. They are obviously different in some way, but why should they give only about 3/4 the credit ? Are they mistakes ?

Here is the page explaining the credit system, http://docking.cis.udel.edu/about/project/credit.php . Hope it is helpful.

nope. Apparently we have both fixed and variable credits simultaneously for the same kind of WU.
