Several days ago, I finished another SOB task. When checking the status of the DC task, I noticed the computer (http://www.primegrid.com/results.php?hostid=1080437&offset=0&show_names=0&state=0&appid=13) which the DC task was assigned to had many hundreds of SOB tasks assigned, but most were aborted. It appears that the computer is aborting all the long tasks, while completing only DC tasks. Are DC tasks for SOB also worth 60% more credits than normal tasks?
It doesn't seem fair that short DC tasks are also eligible for the 50% credits bonus since they are not long jobs. Then again, perhaps DC tasks should also be awarded bonus credits since they will not be credited for discovering a prime, while still using valuable computing resources. |
