Zero credit.. Why?

[PecosRiverM]

I was wondering if there was a reason why I have lots of wu's that are granted zero credit. My wingman gets credit.

Please provide a link to such an workunit.

yoyo has made changes to the credit system which meant that some Linux hosts have been getting zero credits for work units that take a long time to crunch.

If you claimed more than 2000 credits for a wu over the Christmas holidays you got zero credit for the CPU time

I think the limit has been raised since then -- but there's no documentation...

This issue is caused by the BOINC client incorrectly calculating the measured integer speed for Linux hosts and yoyo using these incorrect values to calculate credit.

Here's one..

Your system claimed 5,386 credits and your wingman 223 credits. You claimed 24 times more than your wingman. The used CPU time of both results is nearly identical. This is not honoured by the system.

Okay shouldn't I also get the same as wingman? I have no idea why mine claimed so much.
