Hi,

I was wondering how long it generally takes for pending WUs to be credited. I have a number of WUs which have been pending for 5 days without being credited.

Thanks,
K

They remain pending until a valid result is returned by a quorom partner, so it is dependant on their system speed and BOINC cache.

As stated by OzzFan, it takes two people with matching results to get credit. Some can take months before you get two people with matching results. There can be times when two people almost match but not close enough and a third person needs to meet the quorum. Sometimes people do not return the work for some reason or another and it gets sent out again (and again, and again). With some of the 1 month plus deadlines, if it takes 3-4 people to get through before it's finished, it could be months.
