Just got this from our Kind Master Credit New:

4986684017 2185494897 15 Jun 2016, 3:11:05 UTC 16 Jun 2016, 11:07:58 UTC Completed and validated 6.90 2.31 483.00 AstroPulse v7
Anonymous platform (NVIDIA GPU)

What - is CN feeling guilty for all the crap it has been giving (or NOT giving) us crunchers?

Aloha, Uli

Even more startling, and making even less sense, my wingman on this WU had numbers of 3.07 0.90 483.00 !!!

it's a 100% blanked work unit.

If I remember correctly, you need a certain number of validated work units before it establishes a correct credit for your system


AstroPulse v7 (anonymous platform, NVIDIA GPU)
Number of tasks completed 7
Max tasks per day 45
Number of tasks today 0
Consecutive valid tasks 12
Average processing rate 849.79 GFLOPS
Average turnaround time 1.04 days

I'm probably remembering this wrong.

This has been happening for a long time (years).

I've seen this mentioned more than once in the forums. But of course, I can't locate those posts now. I'm fairly certain that the number is 11.

The certain number is either 10 or 11, and that is for server-side execution elapsed TIME estimates so your local BOINC can do proper scheduling and also work requests.

And WHY would a 100% blanked WU get >>0 credits? CN is supposed to be SO smart about giving credit for actual work done across all the diverse platforms here in SETI-land, and certainly not do gross giveaways (not that I'm complaining - there's a whole lot of catchin' up to do...).

And must be 10% or less blanked?

Cheers.

. . So how does the "blanked" fit in? Does that mean the percentage of the processed sample with no signal components?

It's a reference to Astropulse tasks only. Portions of the datafile are skipped if the signal recorder indicates that the nearby pulsed radar stations - civilian or military - were active during the time we were listening for a different sort of broadband pulses.
