FightMalaria@Home: Changes to credit system

[RSS]

Hi everyone,As you may have noticed, we have had some problems issuing credit with the latest experiment and runtimes have increased massively. Credit is currently granted based on a multiple regression which takes into account several factors that determine runtime. I have slightly increased the amount of credit granted per workunit as people have suggested that it it too low. Also, we have removed the very long tasks which should result in fairer issuance of credit. Please note that there will be outliers but on average the amount of credit awared should be proportional to the work done.Thanks,Kevin

Translation: Credit no longer really sucks but has been improved to the point where it just sucks just like it used to. (Not that it isn't a decent project. Just wish they would grant decent credit to attract crunchers.)
