Is it just me or does Einstein act like a credit black hole ?
Tried to boost our numbers a bit, just did 40 GPU units and had 38 of them go straight to credit pending !! plus 500 per app ain't exactly setting the heather on fire for a GPU app.

You'll get the credits. Just takes a few days for your wingmen to come in with their results. People on Einstein tend to download a few days worth of units and chew through them at a leisurely pace...

But not me! I downloaded a heap 24hrs ago and so far I've had 58K worth of credit out of them with a similar amount pending. 8)

TSBT s tally for the last 24 hours is 106K. We only need to improve on this slightly to avoid the drop.

....and improve it we did

Well i'm on it but all i can get is BRPS Persus arm survey and their taking 2 1/2 hours each ffs but it gives 3333 credit and i have now 7 pending .

Yip, welcome to life without Collatz

and I currently have 546 pending

I thought i would do an update on this the other day and get maybe 50-60 units to crunch, it gave me approx 1000 of them in one update , so my gpu is working away with them but i still have roughly 380 left, i set it to no new tasks after the update, oh well its sending me nicely up the table 8).

The units are the Gravitational Wave S6 Directed search ones, there taking approx 15:11 according to the Boinc manager, what are you getting on these please?

Looks like most of the work is being done by the CPU though and only a bit by the GPU and then the most its showing on the gpu is 61% and maxing out at 51C on the gpu and 39c cpu, they get to 99% after about 11 min's then hang about there for another 4 min's, whats that all about????

I thought Gravitational Wave S6 Directed Search were CPU only apps. What is the full Application name displayed in the BOINC Manager tasks tab?

I have still roughly 7/8 hours left of these from that 1 update, who knows what was going on with their server that day giving me that many .

Ahh the marvels of the Boinc work scheduler.
If you randomly hit some keys on your keyboard it'll give you as much of a sensible answer as anyone else will be able to give you into its workings

This project seriously needs to sort itself out, i have not crunched a unit in over a week and i'm still waiting on 357 units to be credited, its real bad no wonder less people are bothering with it .

I think its another one of those projects that assume people just crunch it continuously.
Eventually the credit will catch up and you'd just work with a time lag between crunching and receiving the credit.
Not so good if you change projects though, the only good thing is that you will eventually get the credit.....

Some projects just take a long time, weeks sometimes, to grant credit. On the bright side, as they trickle in it keeps your stats more colorful.
