Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to boinc. Could someone please tell me what the results total means? I have the total valid work units going from 172 upto 255 then down to 170 - over a couple of days. I also can't see the results from a a month ago - they have gone. I have also worked out thet my main pc is churning out about 400 - 450 Gflops/sec. But my work average is only a tenth of what I think it should be.

Cheers,
Nick

As you return your finished work and it gets validated, the result is recorded into the Master Science Database and the workunit is removed from the system after 24 hours to save space on the database server.

Instead of looking at your total valid workunits, your total Credit is how you are paid for your work and is what you should be watching. Your Recent Average Credit (RAC) gives you an idea of how much you do on average, so some people watch that as well.

Hi 0zzF4,

Thankyou very much for getting back to me.
I hope all is well with you over in the good ol US of A.

Cheers,
Nick
