POGS Skynet...

Started sending out work again on the 19th. On the morning of the 20th, I saw that their servers weren't responding. The whole POGS system is down (not just the BOINC portion) although the main Skynet site is up and appears unaffected.

I am guessing a serious crash at this point being out of commission for almost 2 days now... (When are they going to finally equip servers with air bags??)

        now,
        start_time, credit, CREDIT_HALF_LIFE,
        user.expavg_credit, user.expavg_time
    );

#define CREDIT_HALF_LIFE  (SECONDS_IN_DAY*7)

// Update an estimate of "units per day" of something (credit or CPU time).
// The estimate is exponentially averaged with a given half-life
// (i.e. if no new work is done, the average will decline by 50% in this time).
// This function can be called either with new work,
// or with zero work to decay an existing average.
//
// NOTE: if you change this, also change update_average in
// html/inc/credit.inc

void update_average(
    double now,
    double work_start_time,       // when new work was started
                                    // (or zero if no new work)
    double work,                    // amount of new work
    double half_life,
    double& avg,                    // average work per day (in and out)
    double& avg_time                // when average was last computed
) 

#First calculate the weight value 
weight = 2^[ -1 * days_since_last_update/7days ]
#then determine which function to use
if weight is approx 1 (this occurs as days_since_last_update approaches 0.0)
new_avg = old_avg * weight + ln(2)*new_credit/7days #the math here is a little more complex
else 
#this is the main function and will be used most of the time
new_avg = (old_avg - new_credit_per_day) * weight + new_credit_per_day

new_avg = old_avg * weight
