Around May 5 2021, I notice (now!) that the point decrease by an order of magnitude (or so).
What's up? Thanks, Michael |

Actually (as I look closer) it was around April 27-May 5 that the points increased. Now it is back to normal. Total run time was the about the same and results increased by 50-80% during that time.
----------------------------------------What caused the increase? Thanks [Edit 1 times, last edit by michael_d_mays@me.com at Jun 1, 2021 2:11:17 AM] |

The reason was that the OPNG (GPU) stress test ended on May 4th: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,43386

the site did a gpu test with as many as gpu units as they could. After that test they are now limited to 1700 per 30 minutes. With the greater point value for the gpu units, that resulted in an uptick while the test was in progress. With fewer gpu units everybody with a gpu has seen a decrease. See here

OK thanks. Surprised by the relative larger increase in points.
Guess I need to read about how points results and the ilk are related. Thanks |
