One quick/temp fix is to stop all work.

Why GPU Force Tean went from about 5 million credits to 18 million per day?

Well, Everyone has his right to 15 mins. of disgrace...

And sending squick WU's to CPU and long WU's to GPU won't solve the problem. GPU systems present themselves as CPU only systems and voilà, there you go. Didn't GPU crunching took of for milkyway this way ?

It has never occured to me to pick and choose between WUs to get advantage and perhaps (even if only by default) disadvantage others or the project. But then so many tricks are played, I think it is disgraceful that nobody is telling me about them. A PM will do ;)

Well done, my friend... You can be the employee of the month...

Cheese is cut to half too due the high cholesterol. :D

Yes, always your position were to punish to the optimizers whom gave you a hand and fix and improve your mistakes...

If credits are generally lowered it's unlikely you will hit that "cap" from now on.

Now, more than three days later, please look at statistic sites like these:

The SETI.Germany "boycott" is a big fake !!!

I have 2 PCs. I've been using my Linux box, but it's horrible for Milkyway. I have a notebook, that according to the specs should have almost double the integer speed. Which one is better? Keep in mind I'm running the old app, because the instructions for the new app, apparently don't apply to my version of BOINC/Linux.

you ever checked if you already have been a prayer wheel in some of your former lives?

I always have this feeling when the credit jerks start wrecking the next project with their calls for unfairness, and that their lovely credit-for-nothing-reserve is going to be normal again start their screaming and shouting.

Only a fair competition is a valid competition.
If the credit thieves poison the competition with unjustifiable high credits they should stop exporting them in the BOINC framework, as the credits here for example have nothing in common with the other BOINC projects.

I think pay in all jobs should be equal. Since the US government has set a standard with the "minimum wage" then all employers should lower their wages to the federal minimum wage.

Now how well would that go over??

This is absolutely ridiculous. I understand both points of view but...
How is more efficient software any different from hardware? If someone can return a million VALID results a minute what is the difference if they are using highly optimised hand written code on a 286 or big freaking blue to do it? Valid results are valid results are valid results etc.

You keep saying it will make your project look bad.
LOL, I think that about says it all right there.

Fair dosen't mean every kid in class gets strait A's so as not to get their feelings hurt.

Hey I'm late to this talk-fest but where's the optimized application so everyone can use it? Otherwise ban it.

We're not trying to inhibit progress, just keep the awarded credit in line with what other projects are doing.
