Have some few OPN1 tasks with long hours delays between packs with no any OPN1.

But I replaced my very old 1366 socket PC with 6 core Westmere-E Xeon @3600 MHz to new PC with Ryzen 5600x, which crunch every OPN1 twice faster than 6c/12t Xeon : 3 hours 40 minutes for OPN1 on Xeon and less than 2 hours on 6c/12t Ryzen 5600x.

And then decided to look at stats. Every 3:40 hours task from old Xeon PC gets from 130 to 300 points depending on delay before validation/verification, but newer 5600x machine gets only form 20 to 70 points per task while doing them more than twice faster.

That shouldn't work this way when 10 years old 32nm hot and now inefficient Xeon machine gets more credits than much faster newer more efficient 5600x machine.

I hope points per task should be at least the same between old and new PCs. if no any bonus credits granted for faster execution, because it's just completely illogical to lowering credit points for faster tasks execution.

So credit system looks mostly broken as for me, and I hope that someone should fix it at least.

The credits granted are the average of the claims by both machines,

How the OPNG_0154017_00379_2 task for WU OPNG_0154017_00379 could be considered "Valid" is beyond me, since it only contains a lot of Beignet: "Exec event errors. Valid with tons Beignet errors, and was only granted 8.4 Credits. There's something very strange with that validation.

It looks as if it was having problems during wrap-up! All you get to see in the log is the last 64K or so of stderr output -- note that the first line is missing the "drm_i" off the front!

I don't think the validator looks at the log at all; it will have checked the uploaded results (which we can't see) and based its opinion on those. That 8.4 credit thing seems to show up every now and then -- PMH_UK's post above yours also has an example...

Cheers - Al.

Someone at least has a lot of humer at least, as a beignet is a French pastry similar to a small, square if eggshaped donut, without a filling...
