Minum Quorum and Replication numbers

Greets!

Sorry if answered somewhere else, search returned 4 pages of results and nothing looked like it answered this.

Why are the Minimum Quorum and Replication for WUs on this project so high? I am finding Minimum Quorum of 10 and 19 replications. Seems alot of crunching for one result. shock

Cheers! smile

If satisfied, edit your opening post title and inserted [RESOLVED]. Then we know it's case closed.

Re: Minum Quorum and Replication numbers

Read it 4 times and still not sure I have an answer.

19 replicates. Are 19 people crunching 19 identical WUs or is there some difference in each WU? It seems to say it but I am not clear by "Each result returned by the project contains unique data". Is a "result" what I crunched or what all 19 crunched.

I'm not concerned about the points here it is if I am doing the identical work 19 others are.

I never saw a forum search engine that worked well. Should have used Google I guess.

Thanks

Re: Minum Quorum and Replication numbers

First line of the quoted text:

"Each result returned by the project contains unique data."

Translated, all 19 results compute different seeds.
