Lower initial replication and quorum: With the release of the SIMAP applications 5.10 and 5.11 the error results have been drastically reduced. We are very happy about this and would like to thank all participants for the recently increased power of our project (more than 5 TLOPS now!). It is now safe for the scientific parts of BOINCSIMAP to switch back to a minimal quorum of 2 and an initial replication of 2 as we used when BOINCSIMAP started. Recently we have decreased the initial replication to 3. To address the inhomogeneously claimed credits we will switch to fixed credits per workunit that will be determined by the number of sequences in the workunit and the number of hits in the result. We will test this system first with the second application hmmer which is about to start and then apply this to the simap app too (and decrease the quorum to 2). Please use our message boards to discuss the fixed credits per WU. We are interested in your opinion about this.
