1) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit (Message 329) Posted 6 Dec 2019 by Nuadormrac Post: I have limited them per WU suspension, course an app_config file is another option, though haven't spent a lot of time mucking with that as I tried the project and also am working 11.5 hour work days now pretty much through the rest of the year... I do run with all 8 cores going, aka hyperthreading, and this could definitely make a difference as some projects benefit from it, and others do not (here there are VMs so that can impact things). Good for people to know, this said 500 credits over the course of a day is still below SETI even, and as such a bump in credits could definitely help with incentivizing the project especially with many crunchers and some of the heavier hitting teams. But all in all, credits can wait priority wise when the fundamentals of a project are in the process of being setup, especially if they're having to negotiate the science within the algorithm at this juncture. It is good to know he's looking at this, and tbh I'm not sure as to his question as I haven't run a project; unless it's something as simple as applying a multiplication factor to the credit granted based on the number of cobblestones completed or what have you...
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit (Message 319) Posted 4 Dec 2019 by Nuadormrac Post: tbh, looks to be a new project in development so not the top priority; but the credits seem WAY too low. We're talking about 400 to 500 credits for 6 days crunch time. That is out of par with practically every other project out there... When time allows, might want to take a look into that, as for the science value the project is a good idea; but per incentive if SETI is paying a LOT more per task done, it might dis-incentivize some crunchers from chipping in...
