A quick question about something thats intriguing me.  on a lot of tasks at least one cruncher is receiving 0 credits for a task, but I cant figure out why.

 

For example: [url=http://www.renderfarm.fi/workunit.php?wuid=1197590]http://www.renderfarm.fi/workunit.php?wuid=1197590[/url]

 

At the moment there are 3 computers that have completed successfully, but only 2 getting credit for it. (In this example it is my comp that isnt getting credit)

The one that got 0 credits

The one that got 0 credits was invalid according to the validator.

One of my Computers has many

One of my Computers has many "0 Credits Workunits" too. Validator finally marked the results as Invalid, ok. But as far as I can see it is important what Clientapp the Wingman runs.

In my case the PC runs "blender_4.93_i686-pc-linux-gnu__mt" an if my 2 Wingman run "blender_4.93_windows_x86_64__mt.exe" I get 0 Credits, but if the other has the same ...i686... Client everything is ok. and both of us get Credits and the one with x86_64 gets nothing.

Maybe this is a hint for you to get further into this problem, because its very disappointing for me and others to see hours of work just lost. especially if it is just a matter of what architecture my wingman has.

There are still a lot of wus

There are still a lot of wus in success but with 0 credit granted.

Examples :

http://www.renderfarm.fi/workunit.php?wuid=1185198

http://www.renderfarm.fi/workunit.php?wuid=1198043

 

It seems that the credit is adjusted for some of them after some period of time but other remains at 0.

 

ANybody knows what the problem is and whether or not credit is adjusted afterwards ?

For Overkill's case the problem was at the server end due to a change in BOINC's configuration and difficulties with the new BOINC beta clients. However, this doesn't appear to be the case here... I'll edit the validator for really high tolerance and see if you get credits or not.

More frequent on fastest client.

For what it's worth...

I've got 5 machines crunching right now. I see zero credit occasionally (maybe 10%) on most machines, but my fastest machine has much more missing credit (almost 50%). Don't know why that would matter.

They are all running the same client 64-bit linux, boinc 7.0.2.  Don't see any errors in the boinc logs. Don't think it's the beta client issue, more likely validation(?).
