Paola-

I am wondering since you put up this notice, just how are GPUGrid credit estimates figured?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link, all a bit to complex for me, so, let me pose a simpler question. Paola put up the following message that I got on RSS feed:

"Hi guys,

I have submitted 500 WU of 69000 credits each.

Thanks for your computing time,

Paola"

What I would like to know is how that 69000 credits is figured"

Thanks.

I am wondering if someone could explain the credit system for especially the long runs. I am sure that the crediting is legit, I would just like to understand it.

Thanks.

If you are referring to my project list, I am crunching on seven machines. Six are CPU only, three hyper threaded quads and one hyper threaded dual core, one dual core, one ATOM, also hyper thread. The ATOM has two projects, the dual core has three, the hyper threaded dual core has four, the quads have eight. No project is on more than four machines, except SETI, to which we owe a huge debt, and WCG, which is, I believe crimped by BOINC considering it all as one project. WCG also has a resource share of 200.

I was coming back to say, silly me, sure I saw Milkyway on GPU when I looked at Active tasks.

Interesting about Milkyway, I did very well with it, you guys think mostly CPU?

I appreciate the help. The builder, Maingear, is a master builder, but know nothing of BOINC (although I am trying to teach them), so when they say they want to "upgrade" something on my machine, I pretty much cave in, unless I can find knowledgeable help to say no.

Sorry, I am going to show my ignorance, but I assume Nvidia, as were the GTX580's.

Thanks so much for your reply. I was using sealed liquid cooler on the GTX 580's because that was the builder's (Maingear, Kenilworth, NJ, USA) recommendation. They are replacing my whole Shift Super Stock machine because it seems to be a "lemon" (no reflections on the fruit). The "upgrade" will be at their expense, not mine, the cooling choice theirs, their expertise.

I cannot say enough about the performance of the GTX580's. I went from 7,000,ooo credits in March 2012, gathered since 2007, to my current 25,000,000 credits crunching GPUGrid, Einstein, Milkyway and SETI on GPU.

And, I cannot say enough good things about Maingear. They have stood behind and are standing behind their guarantee.

My concern about the 670's is that the latest is not necessarily the greatest. Your response does not imply any problem in accepting the "upgrade".

I appreciate it very much.

Any advice GTX580's vs GTX670's? My builder wants me to "upgrade" from GTX580's with liquid cooler to GTX670's with air cooled system.

Thanks.
