Someone correct me if I'm wrong but to get credit I think three people need to process the same WU and come up with similiar results. I don't think there is a process on the server doing this. |

Well, I've sent in a few results, and they seem to be waiting for validation. Everything seems to be working. Just have to wait for those slowpokes to catch up. ;) > Someone correct me if I'm wrong but to get credit I think three people need to > process the same WU and come up with similiar results.

Yes, three people have to process the WU, get "similar" results from processing it (number of spikes, etc...) and then if they are all close enough, now errors in processing, a quorum of results is created and then credit will be granted. Also, on timeing there are two uploads of the WU, and I can never keep them straight. I believe the first one (which is automatic after) is a very small amount of data, at the next communication between the BOINC Software and the server the actual data generated is uploaded. If I have it wrong one of the Sir Johns will straighten me out ... <p> <p> |
