ecm_op WU's very low credit

#1 Ungelesener Beitrag von Bas » 30.05.2020 15:31

The ecm_op (not the P2 ones) WU's take a long time for very little credit, for example:

https://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo//worku ... d=52225912

The credit is 220 for almost 13 hours crunching. Compared to other types of WU on this computer, that's very low and seems wrong to me. Can the reward for ecm_op WU's be re-evaluated?

May I ask what other types of WUs you are talking about, exactly?

I forgot to mention: I hit a boinc-client bug when creating an app_config.xml, and downloaded weeks of work. That's why you'll see a lot of aborted tasks when checking my computers.

According to the release notes for version 7.16, this bug is fixed:
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release ... BOINC_7.16
but apparently it isn't, as I am running 7.16.6.

How many credits would be appropriate?

Also many sieve tasks generate rather low credits - those tasks granted me 8.5 credits for 1 hour CPU time:

https://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo/result ... d=72908730
https://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo/result ... d=72963202

Currently I have 12.000 credits for sieve tasks. Continuing like this would mean to spend (100.000-12.000) / 8.5 = 10.300 CPU hours = 1.2 CPU years to obtain the silver badge :D

I am crunching for helping progress mathematics and not primarily for badges, however some sort of "virtual reward" after some months of crunching would be nice to see.

Switch to Linux and just do siever work units.

They get more than double the credit the rest of us get.

Or switch to the latest MacOS and get nothing at all...

Interesting that you mentioned the app_config causing a problem. Now I've removed mine from the two problematic hosts they are downloading the expected amount of work.

Is this BOINC bug documented? Both hosts (one Mac, one Windows) were using 7.16.11 -- so it can't have been fixed.
