I'll be updating the server daemons tonight with better result verification and updated particle swarm and genetic searches. There will probably be some downtime while I get everything up and running correctly. We've also been examining some issues we're having with our fitness calculation, so we'll be releasing a new application and its code to deal with that as well. It also seems we're having some excessive credit issues again so things are going to have to be tweaked (have fun flaming our forums Razz

).

Oh noes, the project granting 80,000 points/day to a $120 HD4870 graphics card is gonna trim it's credits! <gasp> Rolling Eyes

Looks like it may have switched to a fixed credit model. Getting 37.12 for every WU now, regardless of time. Interestingly enough the times have dropped a tad, so it looks like it's not going to actually drop credit/day much lol. Guess we'll see.

Edit: Nevermind, project admin says he hasn't touched credit yet. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=1010&nowrap=true#28188

If the credit gets cut, then so does the project. My RAC has dropped a bit and my ranking has plummeted so heavily, I can't afford to shrub for a project that values my time as less than before. I consider that an insult.

I think they're talking mostly about GPU work. My overclocked Q9300 took over 3 hours to do 1 WU for them on the CPU. My HD4870 does 3 at a time and they only take 60 seconds. Hence credit whorus maximus.
