Hello

Usually, I crunch in 8-12 hours the SANTI_marsalWTbound2 tasks, getting 77 100 base points x 1,5 = 115 650 points credited.

Can you check this task that was credited no bonus : http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=12905362 ?

Not sure it's relevant but this work unit 9925247 was crunched also by another user a few days before, and returned very close to deadline when it had been already reassigned to my host ? See : http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=9925247

Thanks for looking into this issue

Nicolas

This is relevant, as it's a known bug in the bonus system:
When the first host doesn't return the result within 5 days the workunit gets reissued to the second host. If the first host returns the result before the second host, the server accepts it, but the bonus is cancelled, as the result wasn't returned within 24 (48) hours. When the second host returns the same result, it won't receive bonus, as it has already been cancelled by the first host. However, if the second host returns the result before the first, it will receive the bonus. There's no other resolution for this bug.

Thanks for sharing this information, and just hoping it is an unusual situation that does not affect RAC too often !
