Each time your computer passes 1/24 of a phase it sends back a trickle to say where the model is up to. This way you don\'t have to wait ages for credit. The science is uploaded at the end of each phase. You can see details of the trickles sent back if you drill down into your results. You have sent back 2 so far. Your computer took less time to do the second - maybe you were using the computer less. HTH Visit BOINC WIKI for help And join BOINC Synergy for all the news in one place. ID: 19233 · Reply Quote
