New news:
I think that last bit is in reference to what is counted by the badges. So good news for badge chasers who are also credit chasers!A couple of quick notes:
We will have to change the results status page to show the version number and 'app plan' for the result. This will let you know if it was run as cpu or gpu.
We will also have to change the page so that it shows elapsed time for results run on the gpu instead of cpu time (for the purposes of recording 'run time' as recorded on the website, gpu results are awarded time based on the run time).
It's like they knew what all of us were wondering. I don't think I've grabbed any gpu wus yet, but hopefully I will. I do have the option selected.
More beta tasks being sent now.
More GPU beta tasks available!
So, to summarize, poor credits or even 0 if they fail even though it isn't your fault their beta app fails, and then it will be even harder to get badges. Golly! Where do I sign up? If WCG adds squeaky beginner clarinet music to their screen save while crunching, they'll have the triple crown!
Actually, I hope their GPU works well and the credits are in line with the speed increase. I think a lot of people would switch to WCG projects if the credits were competitive. And, can you imagine the turnout if they granted credit like Moo, MW, or even POEM.
