I am aware of how credit is given within BIONIC. I have had proggie running for about 3 or 4 days now and have uploaded proabably 20 to 30 units and have not seen any credit given to me as of yet.....not really sure whats going on...I didn't think it would take as long to get credit for the work units that I have uploaded...Whats going on? |

Credit is based upon the redundancy of analysis. In order for a result to be properly validated, WU's go out to 3 different PC's for analysis. Once all three results are returned and the results are the same, it is considered "validated" and then you will receive "granted credit." Your "granted credit" is usually the mean of all three returned results (or the smaller of 2 results if only 2 were returned and have the same results). You will see that you have "pending credit" once you have returned a result (but no "granted credit"), but it has yet to be validated because not all three results have been returned (or they were but did not match. In this case, the WU will be re-distributed to a 4th participant. Hopefully, when the 4th participant returns their result, it will match the other 2 and then you will receive "granted credit"). So it may take quite a while to get "granted credit." Check out this link about how the credit system works: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/intro_user.php#credit Ranz |

Im more then a little irritated because I haven't been able to get any work units either now.The people that seem to be doing the server maintainance don't keep anyone up to date on whats happening.Obviously if u have millions of people downloading software that u write,there is a responsibility to provide support to those people. |
