Hi,
----------------------------------------Given the facts that ... A) The FAH2 global statistics are as follows ...  B) My FAH2 contribution statistics for all the entire 11 tasks I submitted since Feb 2006, are as follows ...  C) May result status for my recent three FAH2 tasks are as follows ...  My questions are ... For the last three valid results shown on point "C" above which have an average of 22.9 credit per result and 10.018 credits per hours, ...
Thank you O&O [Edit 8 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 13, 2018 7:34:13 AM] |

Hello, O&O!
No, there's nothing wrong with these three tasks you took a pic of. And it is not a joke, if you multiply those numbers with 7, that's what you actually get. One BOINC point is seven WCG points. |

One BOINC point is seven WCG points. So ,... 1 WCG Point = 7 * BOINC Credits ..  But then ,... why BOINC credits for a valid FAH2 result is so so so low for the amount of hours the CPU used? ... (again, when compared to other BOINC projects) Thanks [Edit 6 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 13, 2018 8:14:40 AM] |

If you multiply your earned points with seven, you get amount of WCG points you earned. That might not be the case on all projects, because I noticed that some projects display or used to display WCG points instead of BOINC credits. Also, I don't know why you get like 20 BOINC points per result. It might have something to do with efficiency of your calculations. My results are always calculated within one hour and I get 36 BOINC points on average.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by DeliciousShoesHD at Jul 13, 2018 8:16:16 AM] |

My results are always calculated within one hour and I get 36 BOINC points on average. There are a lot of variables for the increase in my PC processing time ... one could be is that I keep my CPU busy with some internet browsing activities... or that my PC doesn't want to FIGHT AIDS; the disease which mutates in ways that make existing drug treatments (and host computational resources) ineffective ... Anyhow, I have unchecked FightAIDS@Home Phase 2 from my list of WCG projects and will wait for the 5 running WCG tasks (1 MIP, 4 Ebola) to report their results before I decide if my PC also believes in the revelation which was shared by Agent Smith, when he was interrogating Morpheus in the Movie "the Matrix", is also valid ... and safe my PC from dealing with WCG projects, for good! Thanks for the feedback and comments ... O&O [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 13, 2018 9:32:38 AM] |

Thanks for the feedback and comments ... O&O If you'd like to increase the efficiency of your machine and return those results faster, make sure to increase the percentage of CPU time dedicated to your projects. You can do that by opening BOINC in an advanced view, go to Options, Computing preferences, Computing and change the Usage limits settings to whatever you want. |

Here are some images to help you out. By the way, I do not know how this works with multiple projects, I am currently performing calculations for FAH only.   |

Just in case nobody tells you or you don't feel like searching the forums for hours, if you want the maximum points from your hardware, you should run Linux and request Ebola, Zika, Childhood Cancer and AIDS phase 1 work (with other work sent if none of those are available).
