If your computer does 10 times the work per hour than mine, it should be
granted 10 times the credit per hour. However, that works out to the same
credit per task for both computers as yours will go through 10 in the same
mine will go through 1.
Some people believe that the faster computer should get 10 times the credit
per task, but that works out to 100 times the credit per hour for a
computer that is merely 10 times as fast. This hardly seems right.
Others believe that the credit per hour should be the same for the two
computers, and this odes not seem right either.

07/14/2009 08:41 Catastrophe is looming;
AM desperately need advice
with boinc credits the simple rule is there's no pleasing anyone. I
actually think that if my GPU does 10 times the work of a CPU that I should
get 10 times the credit (which I think is what you or the noisier credit
people are complaining about)? at the very least, that promotes better
energy efficiency for a project in addition to faster turnaround times for
a workunit.
but you can come up with whatever credit granting scheme you want; on cpdn
we give a certain amount per "trickle" (usually a model-year), adjusted for
how tough the climate model is. on quake-catcher I give 50 cobblestones
per realtime day of running a sensor etc. but there will always be
complainers and at best you can come up with a compromise credit system
(just try and get to a sensible credit average as Eric Korpela has posted
about with stats on the various projects and their "credit drift" etc ---
basically get a machine that grants aqua credit at a similar rate for a
s...@home workunit running the same amount).
