My thoughts:

1) The basic ideas behind the current credit system are sound,
but there seem to be some problems with the details,
in particular what happens when new app versions are added.

2) We need a simulator that models credit calculations for various scenarios
(synthetic, or based on trace data from a project).
Such a simulator would help identify the problems with the current system,
or would demonstrate that a new scheme works better.
I don't think we should consider a new system without simulator-based 
validation of it.

Hey,

A '4th gen BOINC credit system' thread was created over at the official BOINC forums: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10953

There's been about 77 posts to the thread, the general consensus was that a new BOINC credit system is a good idea but thus far the definition/specs of such a next gen system has not been agreed upon.

What are the BOINC dev's thoughts on this topic? I'd love to continue this discussion & work towards a next-gen BOINC system.

Cheers guys :)
