Not that I particularly care, but I can't help noticing that SETI seems to credit far fewer points that some other projects I run: MilkyWay@home 3,677,384 2,739 22 Jan 2011 Einstein@Home 2,798,382 1,973 3 Sep 2005 SETI@home 1,186,701 652 3 Apr 1999 All three have always had the same priority on my PCs, and all seem to have no shortage of work units. MilkyWay gets close to a million points a year, Einstain around 330,000 a year, and SETI about 80,000 a year. Or am I missing something? |

Nope, you didn't miss anything. Other projects decided what amount of credits they wish to grant for their work units. As such, some grant more in order to entice people to crunch their work units over other projects. If you are only interested in Overall total Boinc credit then, yes there are other projects that offer more. You can't compare credit from one to another. Zalster |

Also you can use sort of use SET@home as a baseline to see how much other projects inflate their credit. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |
