That's "about" 250 million wu's....woohoo! Live long and crunch. Doh, since this is the SETI boards I assumed (and you know what that means) that we were talking pure SETI BOINC credit, but reading it again it is obviously ALL projects. I see SETI BOINC is close to 3.2 billion credits this is "about" 160 million wu's...woohoo! ID: 187088 ·

Last modified: 8 Nov 2005, 16:45:13 UTC That's "about" 250 million wu's....woohoo! How do you know? Different BOINC projects have very different average credits/wu. Even for SETI alone, if we knew this, we could easily convert classic WUs into BOINC credits. Kitty@SETI team (Russia). Our cats also want to know if there is ETI out there ID: 186996 ·

Let's see how would one award a computer for doing a fine job???? Buy more RAM maybe? ;) I am glad to be apart of this. Ricy ID: 186918 ·

Though this is one of the pitfalls of 'credit'. There's no easy way to convert that to real world CPU seconds or FLOPS etc, so it's hard to compare the achievemnt with super-computers or other non-BOINC distributed projects. ID: 186915 ·
