Message boards : Windows : NOT RECEIVING WORK UNITS SINCE YESTERDAY 012510

Can anyone help me on this?

Look around the other threads in the forum and you'll see a hint to go to the server status page . There you'll see, that nothing's on the server to send, but up until now nobody of us crunchers knows why. It's no Windoze problem, it's a general one.

I got some new last night:
Di 26 Jan 2010 02:08:29 CET Docking Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
Di 26 Jan 2010 02:08:29 CET Docking Requesting new tasks
Di 26 Jan 2010 02:08:35 CET Docking Scheduler request completed: got 20 new tasks

Havn't asked for more since, I thought it was over with the shaortage this morning as my BOINC was fully loaded aagin.

It look's like you have done to much good.
The project has run out of work for the rest of us.

Our charity sucked them dry
But we will probably get new ones soon

Message boards : Number crunching : Newer units providing fewer points

So the old ones are still around with the false estimate and I guess it's far too much effort to correct them. No problem for my machine, as even with those the granted credits are above average compared with other projects. The intermediate 200s were far above necessary, the probable newest ones (163 with me) are in the upper ranges of granting.

As no WU gives less than average, nothing bad has happened. Fine Work!

It seems that something was done to the credits, I get either 115.5 or 200 for the same type of WU, probably the lower number for the ones generated earlier.

On my machine (64bit penguin) even the low measure still was above claim, so no need to complain by me besides the inconsistencies.

Hallo werte Mitcruncher!

Und schon wieder hat sich Entscheidendes auf unserer komplett überarbeiteten Homepage getan, das es durchaus angemessen erscheinen läßt diesen Fred mal wieder nach oben zu bringen, und dabei auch die Links ein wenig anzupassen (obwohl die alten dank redirect noch funktionieren sollten). Außerdem ist es einfach mal wieder Zeit nach dem Umschwenken auf feste Credits, hier also ein verbesserter Aufruf zum Mitmachen bei uns:

SETI.Germany ist das größte deutsche Team beim wissenschaftlichen Projekt SETI@home, der Suche nach außerirdischer Intelligenz, durchgeführt an der Universität von Kalifornien, Berkeley.

Auch weiterhin liegt ein Schwerpunkt in diesem Projekt, unter dem sich unser Team in Seticlassic-Zeiten formiert hat und seine Teambezeichnung fand.

Neben Seti@home ist unser Team nun auch bei vielen anderen Projekten des Public Distributed Computing (Öffentliches Verteiltes Rechnen) unter dem Namen SETI.Germany vertreten und hat die
2 500 000 000 Credit-Grenze passiert!
Die Themen der Projekte reichen von Astrophysik, Molekularbiologie, Chemie, Mathematik, Medizin, Rendering, Verschlüsselung und angewandter Informatik bis zum aktuellen Projekt hier Docking@Home.

Auf unserer Webseite bieten wir weiterführende Informationen zu diesen Projekten u.a. in einem großen Forensystem , einem Wiki , einer Chatfunktion und vielem mehr...

Zu unserem aktuellen Stand hier bei Docking@Home:



Zum aktuellen Stand im ganzen BOINC:


Wenn Du jetzt Lust bekommen hast bei uns mitzurechnen, benutze einfach folgende Links:

Diesen hier wenn Du bereits ein Konto bei Docking hast und nur zu uns ins Team kommen möchtest, oder diesen hier, wenn Du noch ein Konto eröffnen möchtest .

Ansonsten:
Fröhliches Vollgascrunchen allerseits!

You are completely right. But that's beating a dead horse as we have fixed credits now.


Not quite dead yet, as it's still used for the calculation of the now rather worthless claims. I'd like this horse really dead ;)

But of course you're right, it's no rather unimportant. I'd like to know what numbers of credits per hour they take as their standard.

Sure you do. Look here for an explanation! How it all started ;)

Thanks, I hadn't read all posts, since nothing really happened with the meager credits after the initial posts here and I lost contact a bit.

How did you know this formula? is it stated anywhere? Is there any explanation for using a non-standard formula?
I understand to leave benchmarks and move to flop-count or fixed credits, but altering the orginal formula makes absolutely no sense to me if the buggy benches are still used.

Claimed credits came from the benchmarks (still)

My Computer has benches as follows:
Measured floating point speed 3239.93 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 8951.05 million ops/sec

claimed credit = ([whetstone]+[dhrystone]) * wu_cpu_time_in_sec / 1728000

For my machine per hour: (3239,93 + 8951,05) * 3600 / 1728000 = 25,397875

My claims here are very consistent at 21 credits per hour since a very long time. For example this one, # 6947368 :

Official formula: (3239,93 + 8951,05) * 8267.269 / 1728000 = 58,325295737

but:

Claimed credit 48.3207651724276
Granted credit 126.673348

So I'm definitely not claiming according to my benchmarks.
I'm not getting it as well, I'm getting a little bit more than double my official claim would be.
In other benchmark based projects my claims are calculated correct, so the faulty calculation is not originated in my machine.

Fixed credits are great, really. Very much appreciated.

I always had the impression, that something similar was already installed, as my computer always claimed less (and got granted the same amount) as the benchmarks would have claimed, 21 C/h claim compared to 25 C/h according to benchmarks. I thought that my machine was not so well suited to this algorithm as others, and thus got less than claims based on Flop-count or whatever.

Now I claim still the same (where do these claims come from anyway?), but get more than double my benches granted. This looks like I'm exorbitantly well suited for the current algorithm (or better my puter is).

55 C/h is at the top end of credit granting projects for CPU on my machine, far more than average. As there are no wingmen, I can't compare directly with other machines how my performance is and why I get so much more then usual.
