We should probably mention a few things about this project since people will start noticing it now that the first workunits are starting to validate.

Each result returned by the project contains unique data. We have some additional information in the results that we will use to help us make sure that the very strong majority of results returned contain the correctly computed data.

We are going be sending 10 results per workunit. Each workunit will run for a specific length of time on each computer. For the beta test we have specified 1 hour. A computer running this project will generate a unit of data in about 90 seconds of execution time on a average computer.

This means that if you have a really powerful computer, you may generate 200 of these units of data in 1 hour while a slower computer may only generate 20. We will be awarding credit by averaging the the claimed credit per unit of data, and then taking that value and awarding the # of units of data in a result * the average claimed credit per unit of data. So in this case if the slower computer had a claimed credit of 22 and the larger computer had a claimed credit of 200, then the average credit per unit of data would be 1.05. This means that the slower computer would be granted 21 credits and the faster computer would be awarded 210 credits.
