For 2 tasks from the same WU, two computers should be getting the same credit whether they are running 1 core or 8 cores. The single core computer will just take longer to get it done.
If both computers have 8 cores, and one is running 1 8 core task at a time, and one is running 8 1 core task at a time, and they are otherwise similar, I would expect that the credit per hour is similar. -----Original Message----- From: yoyo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2014 2:33 PM To: McLeod, John; BOINC Developers Mailing List; BOINC Projects Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] Creditnew for mt apps But the users claims, that the systems gets the same credits per hour even if they use different amount of cores.
