I am wondering if someone could explain the credit system for especially the long runs. I am sure that the crediting is legit, I would just like to understand it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link, all a bit to complex for me, so, let me pose a simpler question. Paola put up the following message that I got on RSS feed:

"Hi guys,

I have submitted 500 WU of 69000 credits each.

Thanks for your computing time,

Paola"

What I would like to know is how that 69000 credits is figured"

Thanks.

Paola, being a research scientist with good mathematical skill, does the figuring. Paola even tests the performance of new work units in house to calibrate against other work units in order to give correct credit. Hope that's not too simplistic, but I'm happy with it, and if I wasn't I wouldn't be shy in saying so.
