 It never rains, but it pours. I woke this morning to find rainwater pouring in through the roof, and it's bringing down the ceiling. Not to mention the damage it's done to the carpet. Well, there goes the 30% no claims bonus on my insurance. Think I'll just go back to bed. | ||

And be extra watchful on the road for a while too. Call it the law of averages or when it rains, it pours but fate has its eyes on you now.  |

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. Hintsala, don't want you to fall thru the cracks on this. If you're running the UD agent, its benchmarks won't accurately reflect anything beyond an ancient x286 chip it seems. When I switched to BOINC a year and a half ago, it took all of about five minutes to download, install and get it running. I'd recommend that you let UD finish it's current WU and then shut it down. Yes, it probably will have started on a new one but don't worry about that. You can even have BOINC downloaded beforehand and then install after you shut down UD. Be sure to take UD out of your startup folder so that it doesn't start back up on your next reboot. Once you have BOINC running, we can tweak your profile to your situation/needs/desires. Dave gave excellent info on BOINC. You'll be better off for the switch. WCG is finally beginning to move away from the UD agent so it's a good move for that too. |

Welcome johnsduff to our team! g@dget did drop from our active crunching ranks. Hopefully, we will hear from them again soon. I should check back into our past results but I think we may be setting some new team records!
----------------------------------------Bienvenue johnsduff à notre équipe ! g@dget avez laissé tomber de nos rangs de craquement actifs. Si tout va bien, nous aurons des nouvelles d'eux encore bientôt. Je devrais vérifier de nouveau dans nos résultats passés mais je pense que nous pouvons placer quelques nouveaux disques d'équipe ! 私達のチームへの歓迎johnsduff! g@dget 私達の活動的な粉砕のランクから落としなさい。うまく行けば、私達はそれらからすぐに再度聞く。私は私達の過去の結果に点検するべきであるが、私達がある新しいチーム記録を置くかもしれないことを考える! ¡Recepción johnsduff a nuestro equipo! g@dget caiga de nuestras filas de crujido activas. Esperanzadamente, oiremos de ellas otra vez pronto. ¡Debo comprobar nuevamente dentro de nuestros últimos resultados pero pienso que podemos fijar algunos nuevos expedientes del equipo! |
