1) Message boards : Number crunching : No Work Available (Message 180) Posted 2 Oct 2024 by dave Post: I have emailed one of the scientists directly regarding the lack of a Linux application. We will see if he is still active with the project and willing to help. Clearly not in a hurry. I added the project to check out something for a post on the BOINC fora. I can get tasks for Windows in a VM but nothing for Linux yet.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Why are credit rewards so low compared to other projects? (Message 179) Posted 1 Oct 2024 by dave Post: There are threads about credit between projects over on the BOINC fora. In theory the same amount of computing power used should yield similar credit between projects. Some projects give artificially high credit scores. CPDN gives slightly higher credit for some newer apps that can require as much as 8GB RAM/core. Though CPDN is one of the lower scoring projects and also one which often has large gaps in work availability. Bottom line is I crunch for the science not for credits which I see as more of a help to make sure things are working as they should.
