CreditProposal
v3 v4 54 54 * Suppose a project's application needs X GB of RAM, and there is only one host in the BOINC population with that much RAM. Then its credit per day for that host can be 100N, where N is the size of the population. In other words, that computer can get as much credit as all other computers combined. Is this desirable? 55 55 * The accounting rule doesn't take into account non-competing projects. E.g. suppose project A uses only CPU and project B uses only disk. If hosts attach to both projects with equal resource shares, the projects will be limited to issuing 50 credits/day on the average. 56 * Suppose a project uses a resource that no other project wants (e.g. QCN uses the accelerometer found in some laptops). Should the project be able to allocate the full 100 credits/day on average?56 * Suppose a project uses a resource that other projects use little or none of (e.g. QCN uses the accelerometer found in some laptops; Depspid uses network). How much credit should the project be allowed to grant? Under the current proposal, they would be allowed to grant something like 100/(N+1) per host/day, where N is the average number of other attached projects. 57 57 * This proposal doesn't say anything about the last 3 types of utility.
