As you say, it may be a platform-dependent thing, with some computers better suited to some projects. It may be worthwhile for me to compare more of my computers directly across more projects. Or that may be a complete waste of time, since it's the science (no credits) that's important... ;)
2) Message boards : Number crunching : CPDN grants more credit than Predictor (Message 10816) Posted 13 Mar 2005 by old_user1797 Post: I've found that CPDN grants ~50% more credit per second of CPU time than Predictor does, on the same computer. Is there any way this bias can be fixed? Across projects, my impression is that CPDN grants more credit than LHC, SETI, or Einstein as well.
