well project started recently But the credits are much too low. Perhaps for you this is not a priority at the moment. review credit allocation thank you very much 27 Apr 2025, 7:24:48 UTC 28 Apr 2025, 12:15:28 UTC Terminé et validé 18,415.89 15,118.56 5.18 Universal Docker app v1.08 (docker) 27 Apr 2025, 7:24:48 UTC 28 Apr 2025, 14:48:35 UTC Terminé et validé 20,623.61 16,927.00 6.84 Universal Docker app v1.08 (docker) 27 Apr 2025, 7:24:48 UTC 28 Apr 2025, 7:44:45 UTC Terminé et validé 1,799.42 1,465.00 0.40 Universal Docker app v1.08 (docker) 27 Apr 2025, 7:24:47 UTC 28 Apr 2025, 0:41:54 UTC Terminé et validé 5,435.68 4,425.81 0.96 Universal Docker app v1.08 (docker) it's not enough |

Please be patient. We are working on making the functionality of BUDA applications stable. Afterwards credit system will be reviewed and fixed if needed. BOINC maintainer. For any insight, check my BOINC Development Blog. |

I think we've fixed this problem going forward. There were a couple of issues: 1) we were using BOINC's 'adaptive' credit system, which keeps track of averages for hosts and app versions and normalizes things so that different hosts get similar credit for similar jobs. This system assumes that jobs for a given app are roughly the same size. That's not the case for the Boolean Chains app: some jobs take 100,000 times longer than other jobs. So we switched to a simpler system where credit is determined by the runtime and the host's floating-point benchmark. 2) lots of hosts were reporting a 1.0 GFLOPS FP benchmark value, meaning that the benchmark failed for some reason. This exacerbated the problems of adaptive credit. We need to figure out this problem. In the meantime, we're using the average benchmark value (4.3 GFLOPS) for these hosts. |
