Hi, I'm sorry if this is the wrong board to ask this, but which BOINC project is the fastest? As in taking the least amount of run time to finish a task.

SR5/SRBase has probably the shortest tasks (a few seconds to a few minutes) and some really LONG ones (24+ hours on the fastest CPU's). Credit granted is quite reasonable.

NOTE << not all types of tasks are available at ALL TIMES >>:

Sierpinski / Riesel Base - short
Riesel Base - short
Sierpinski Base - short
[various other sizes in between - see project web site for more details]
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long2
Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long3

WUProp@Home has the data but they measure runtime in hours. Really short ones like SRBase get rounded to 0.
