Twice in the last week I got exactly 4000 credits for a Cullen LRR. Maybe it is time to raise the maximum a bit... | |

I've made Rytis and Lennart aware of the situation.

And where is problem with those credits?
When I have similar situation, then answer to me was: no credits cannot be raised, there is limit etc etc etc....
And when someone else say : hay I got only 4000 credits for Cullen LLR it is time to "fix it" then immediately admins will be noticed, and they look at that problem :(

Even if we hated you (which we don't, of course) credit decisions affect hundreds or thousands of people, so any action taken to change the credit isn't done based upon who asks for it.
Credit cap problems usually are pretty simple and result in the cap being raised when needed. If it doesn't happen, it's probably because the request fell through the cracks and it would be a good idea to poke us again to raise it.
Other credit decisions tend to be a lot more complicated.

The cap on Cullen is now 5000.
I'm told the cap on 321 is 3000, and PSP is 9000. (I'm assuming those were also raised.)
Thanks, Lennart, for the quick response!

I know PSP was raised because I was hitting 8K and no higher, so it's nice to see the push.

Thanks a lot for the quick action. I just saw a Cullen LRR with 4480 credits. Great! | |

As a minor question of interest why do we have a cap anyway? Is it a boinc thing?

The credit system used for LLR tasks is based upon data that comes from the client computers, and therefore is potentionally subject to errors (unintentional or intentional) that could cause erroneously high credit to be awarded. As in millions of credit per second, or more. A cap is necessary to safeguard the integrity of the system.

Are Cullen WUs taking longer for everyone all of a sudden, i.e. has an FFT milestone been reached recently? I only ask because I'm going for my gold badge, and before the PPS Sieve challenge, I think my 2600K was running them in less than 100 hours, but now I've got one on 9% with 21 hours elapsed, and one on 47% with (almost, within a few seconds) exactly the same amount of time elapsed.
I'm running with HT on and all 8 cores loaded, and I'm running a GTX 580 on the same machine with PPS Sieve, so I'm aware that those things will drastically affect how long it will take a 2600K to complete a given WU. It's just that I was running the same things before the challenge, and they seemed to complete much more quickly. Not a problem, and not a complaint, just wondering.
My C2Q Q8200 has a Cullen WU with 13 hours 54mins elapsed and it's at 0.140%. That's probably expected from such a slow machine, a C2Q Q8200 is probably the slowest desktop CPU anyone is running here, and I've also crammed a 560Ti in there, so that'll affect it massively. It still seems unusually slow, though. | |

I have i7-2600 (without K) @3.8GHz, Ubuntu x64, without HT, llr 3.8.9 avx, which also feeds GTX660Ti for manual tpsieve task (about 0,15 CPU load).
It has finished 8 tasks before the challenge and another 8 after, no change in task duration.
It completes 4 tasks simultaneously in about 73.000 sec, so to me your 130.000 sec does not look bad at all.
P.S. I also have C2Q Q8200 doing TRP sieving, so you are not alone ;-) | |
