1) Message boards : Number crunching : @MW staff: credit limit and credit level (Message 6294) Posted 19 Nov 2008 by alpina Post: '''...to the general credit level to stay more in line with other BOINC project if you feel this is important (personally I would). As my app is generally a factor of 50 to 60 faster than the old one, I suggested already 2 weeks ago a division by that. That means about 4 to 5 credits per WU.'' Translation: It's not important if we can produce 50 or 60 times more work. It sure is important. It's not important if we cam run 50 or 60 times faster than the other BOINC projects. A completely irrelevant comment since every single BOINC project is doing something different. You can't compare "the speed" of the different projects. The only thing you can compare is the CPU time spent on the different projects. To me it only seems fair that all projects award about the same amount of credits per CPU time spent. It is the only way the BOINC system can work in the long run so this is important for me. If the other BOINC projects don't have a way or they can't find a way to run exactly so fast as now MW can ,then the project MUST drop the payment and penalize himself and the crunchers for the work they do for MW. This is the so called FAIRNESS some people around talking about the whole time. Can't you see your statements don't make any sense at all? If a project(Milkyway) first uses a terribly inefficient application which later is upgraded to a much faster one then all of a sudden this project should be able to award 50 times more credit then a project which has been using an efficient application all along? Great !!! I guess important is ,every time these Germans start complaining or crying around to start rethink the way the project works! ok folks let us now celebrate the Germanization of MW ! Yeah, make it a narrow-minded fight of the nations. Great!
