Post: ok, thanks. Not sure what a GPU is, but I think it's a kind of graphics card, right? I thought I had one of those :-/ I do seem to be able to accept Astropulse WUs though as it's working on one right now. |

Why are the downnloads paused?

Post:
I wasn't expecting that obviously. I was just surprised that the computer hadn't already downloaded some more data ready to start processing before it had finished the previous jobs. Usually it does that, ie overlaps them. This morning it left itself with no data to process. I was just surprised, that's all. |

What does "average credits" mean?

Post: ok. Thanks for that. I guess it's just something that has to "spool up" as I remain active for longer... :) |

What does "average credits" mean?

Posted 9 Jan 2012 by Stuart
Post: Thanks both. Not really sure I understand the calculation. If it's an average, I was expecting the numerator to be total credit and the denominator to be something like number of days, or number of projects or some such. So, on day one, I'd expect total credit to equal average credit. But it doesn't seem to work like that. |

Post: I am new to this... does it mean average credits per work unit? This doesn't seem to be explained anywhere.. Thanks |
