Hmm Im only getting about 500 points a day 24/7.  I am now running all projects. Originally I was just running the genome thing and getting like 10 results a day avg then I figured maybe that was why I wasnt getting many points.I wonder if you have the default throttle setting on BOINC. If so, I think you'll see the science app. in Task Manager running pretty high on CPU for a few seconds and the do nothing for a few more. I believe that's a setting in the BOINC profile and the default is 60% I believe. |

Nice to see a new member - welcome Silbo
 My 'Big Brother' Adywebb has joined me at the campsite here for the final week of crunching to lend a helping hand and should add a little boost to the stats |

WELCOME!  That's good Ady... I just lost 3 of my lappies to my kids for the summer... including my new duallie...

It seems I get the same amount of points no matter what i do. I have submitted one aids WU and received the same amount of points for the day. I guess Im just stuck with that. |

You tend to get a better points return if you use the Boinc client instead of the grid agent, you can also store up a few extra units with Boinc so you never run out if your network or WCG is down for some reason Edit: For example my older 2GHz machine gets around 12-1400 points a day with Boinc, a fair bit more than it used to get with the Grid Agent.

Hmm Im only getting about 500 points a day 24/7. I am now running all projects. Originally I was just running the genome thing and getting like 10 results a day avg then I figured maybe that was why I wasnt getting many points. As has been said, if you use BOINC, you can expect to average more points per day. BOINC has a different way of awarding points than the UD Grid Agent. With the Grid Agent, when a work unit is completed, a short CPU benchmark is run on your system. The result of that benchmark is used to award points for the just completed work unit immediately. There is a bit of a flaw here in that the benchmark is influenced by whatever you are running at the moment and, if you happen to be running something CPU intensive at that moment, fewer points will be awarded. BOINC does not award points as the work unit is completed. Each work unit is sent to multiple users (usually 3) to insure that accurate results are produced (this prevents the results from inaccuracies due to things like processor errors from minor hardware bugs). When the results from all of the users that ran the work unit have been returned, they are averaged in some manner and the same number of points is awarded to each of the users that ran that work unit. This can be right away, or it can be several days later depending on how the users run their systems. If, for example, one is running on a laptop only when it is not on battery power, it might be several days after you have completed the work unit before he does and you will not see the points until then. If you are running WCG on only one system as I am right now, this will result in inconsistant daily totals (the past week, I have seen daily point totals vary between 1700 and 5000 points -- my average is about 3000 points). Another thing comes into play as well, and this has more to do with why you are awarded more points while running BOINC. BOINC has its own scale for awarding points that is much lower than that of the UD Grid Agent. Because of this, the WCG multiplies the BOINC points by some number (that I've never seen published) in an attempt to scale them around what would have been awarded by the Grid Agent had the work unit been run on it. The number was arrived at through some testing that the WCG ran. From what many of us have seen, that multiplier results in more points being awarded for work run using BOINC. I think it may be as much as a third higher from my own experience. I hope I haven't bored everyone to tears with this explanation, but, in a nutshell, you can expect to average more points with BOINC, but your daily totals will probably vary quite a bit. |
