#1 limited WU

Post by davidbam »

Okay - any one instance ain't ever going to get more than 16000 WU from the project. That is only 125 WU / thread on a 128 thread machine (including the daft wee ones which finish within seconds)

To compound it, a new instance won't get more than 4 WU until they have credit. Let's hope the project validator doesn't back-up.

I hope the Russian team isn't getting special treatment :evil: Honestly, you'd think some projects didn't want volunteer crunchers.
I think this is fool-proof but could you just try it for me please? • There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don’t

You should try to run more than 40 projects on any of your machines, so you never run out of WUs...

It is annoying, let's hope there is honesty in the program. :o

According to my BOINC manager I have at least 5,000 more credits than BOINCstats and FreeDC grant me....the Gerasim stats export seems broken.

NB: Exports restored after I also complained on the shout page of the oncoming Gerasim Challenge...
