I'm running the new sah (boinc) client for a week now. it is receiving, computing and sending back results. On the stats page, it says 0 as total credit and recent average credit. So what's up? Pending credit and results are not available. Many friends of mine tell me they got total credit growing as they process WUs. Infos? Help? thanx |

Simply luck of the draw. Your friends just happened to get some WUs returned by two other hosts quickly. The speed of granted credit relies on several variables. 1- How quick are the other hosts the WU has been sent to? 2- How quick these other hosts will report the results. Will they do it manually, or let the scheduler pick them up automatically? If they go the automatic route, this can be accomplished two ways. It will either grab them the next time the host asks for more work, or around 24hours before the WUs deadline. If the host has a large cache, it could be a week or two before it asks for more work. If BOINC comes up against the deadline, this can also be two weeks away. 3- Has any host given the WU reset or detached, thus "flushing" the WU? If a WU has been "thrown out", the scheduler will wait until the deadline expires before adding it to the "pool" of WUs to be sent out again. This could take two weeks for the deadline, then more time depending on how many WUs are in the pool. Then we are back to numbers 1 and 2. And finally, 4- How quick the validator processes the WU. Currently, there is a serious backlog the validator is chewing through. <a> |

Yeah at last some credit! Now let's hope they will give us access to all the account's pages soon... |
