1) Message boards : Number crunching : SCHEDULER_REPLY::parse(): bad first tag Content-type: text/plain (Message 3296) Posted 1 Jul 2004 by cardinalsmurf Post: I came to this thread looking for others having the same problem. I'm getting it too. Seems to have started this afternoon (PDT). Could it be that they have reconfigured the software on their end and haven't yet posted the new client update to the web site? The other functionality of the client seems to be working now as of this afternoon. It was able to finally upload my last WU and grab an update to my account. it just can't get new work.

2) Message boards : Number crunching : Recent Average Credit, what's it for? (Message 2045) Posted 25 Jun 2004 by cardinalsmurf Post: Did SETI mention someplace why they ditched the old 1 credit/1 wu system? Aside from the exploits which should not happen with the new BOINC system, why this measurement scheme? Was it just to make it fractionally more fair to measure smaller vs. larger wu's?

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Recent Average Credit, what's it for? (Message 2041) Posted 25 Jun 2004 by cardinalsmurf Post: Credits per day you say? That doesn't match with what I'm seeing. After participating for 2 days I have accumulated 215 credits granted. This should put my average per day at around 100. Yet my average seems to be pretty static at about Granted Credit x 0.1. My current RAC is at around 20. So, I'm not seeing it accurately measure average credits earned per day. Not even close.

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Escalating Defferal Interval, no ceiling??? (Message 2035) Posted 25 Jun 2004 by cardinalsmurf Post: Ceilings I understand. But 2 weeks? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Escalating Defferal Interval, no ceiling??? (Message 1981) Posted 25 Jun 2004 by cardinalsmurf Post: Whose idea was it to allow the deferral interval to simply continue escalating with no ceiling? Was there a reason for this design or was it an oversight? What was wrong with the classic 1 hour?

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Recent Average Credit, what's it for? (Message 1531) Posted 24 Jun 2004 by cardinalsmurf Post: I have so far read everything I was able to find about RAC. Everywhere I turn I see people telling me how it is calculated. Yet nowhere is there any layman's explanation as to what its utility is supposed to be. Why is it calculated? And what, generally speaking, is it meant to show us?
