The badge consists of one to five stars depending on the number of applications for which you have returned data.

Applications from the WUProp Project ? or Applications from other Projects is the question ?? | |

Applications from other projects. | |

So those of us who may never get to 20 applications will never get badges. 100 applications, is there even that many in all the different BOINC projects? Oh well, I am on a mission for quality, not quantity. | |

100 applications, is there even that many in all the different BOINC projects? I've got Credits in 93 projects, and that's because I usually skip imho pure math brain wanking like primes and such. The cruncher with most projects in the stats has 134 in the list. Quite a lot of them have more than one app running, in WCG alone I've got badges for 15 apps, and further 4 with too little crunch time for their badge, but more than 100h crunching. Prime-Grid has as well about a dozen apps in parallel, yoyo 6. ____________ Grüße vom Sänger | |

I've got Credits in 123 Different Projects but it meaningless since you have to start all over to get the Badges. Well I'm not going to Bog my Computers down with 100 different Projects just to get some Badge, especially since we have to start all over from scratch since the Badges aren't retroactive. I've probably run enough Projects since WUProp started to get some sort of Badge but now we/I have to do it all over again ... O-o | |

I've got Credits in 123 Different Projects but it meaningless since you have to start all over to get the Badges. Show me any project, that introduced badges retroactive. Or, better, show me any project that had the necessary information to give badges retroactive for certain apps. It's a pity, but it's nothing that could be done anything about. ____________ Grüße vom Sänger | |

The Stars are for the number of Applications, so as Saenger surmised, running Albert or Einstein will give you at least 3 applications each, WCG will give you over 15, YOYO another 6 applications, etc. | |

I believe PrimeGrid & WCG both did but could be mistaken. Once the Badges were introduced at both Projects I had the Badges if I had the Credit to earn them. PrimeGrid I'm almost sure of since I was in on that Project from the start & there were no Badges for quit awhile but the Credit I earned in the sub projects went towards the Badges once they were announced ... | |

The badge consists of one to five stars depending on the number of applications for which you have returned data. You have to consider extending the meaning of 'Application' with the version number/platform/device. After all you get (different) info from the same user for the same 'Application' but run on different hosts/devices (different OSes, CPUs, GPUs) So you get info for the same 'Application' run by Windows or Linux or Mac OS executable, 32 or 64 bit (every one of these executables is different, with different performance. And you get info about that). The same 'Application' (in BOINC terms) can be run (by different executables) on ATI or NVIDIA GPUs (again you get different info/numbers about that) e.g. on host with CPU + ATI GPU + NVIDIA GPU the same 'Application' by the generic name "SETI@home Enhanced" have different versions with very different parameters (different returned numbers for used RAM, Run time, etc.) So my proposal is to distinguish and recognize as different 'Applications' e.g. these: SETI@home Enhanced: Windows/x86 6.03 Windows/x86 6.08 (cuda) Windows/x86 6.10 (cuda_fermi) Linux/x86 6.03 Linux/x86_64 5.28 Mac OS/X 10.3+ 6.05 AstroPulse v6: Windows/x86 6.01 Windows/x86 6.04 (ati_opencl_100) Windows/x86 6.04 (cuda_opencl_100) Mac OS/X 10.3+ 6.02 Linux/x86_64 6.03 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/apps.php And count++ the same 'Application' run on different computers (if they have different OSes, CPUs, GPUs) (for people that return info from many hosts using wide range of devices/'real apps (executables)') (In this current manner one user with one computer running 20 projects only on one CPU is more 'important' (badge-wise) than user with 50 very different computers returning widely different info but for a few 'Applications') ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) | |

ibercivis alone has 32 apps to choose from. So, if you support more then one project it will not be difficult to get to 20. | |

Concur. I've done as much 'badging' as I want to for now, and I've done as many milestones as I want to do. I *do* like badges, but I see them as a bonus rather than a target. I'll never get a badge here, and I don't care :) I can see why crunchers are obsessed by credit, rank, milesone, badges etc and that's fine. Any inducement is good for a project, and long may the crunchers chase them! I would just say that Sebastien's sig project is awesome. He's done a lot of work to make the sigs and site so slick, so it's only fair that he gets to play with his own badge :) Cheers, Al. | |

Thank you for adding the badges to our posts. I also like that you change the color of the font in the totals list under our accounts. | |

What are the badge requirements? How many hours to get one? | |

From what I can see even if you have 20 or more applications and have a number of them with over 100 hours processing, that won't get you a Badge or a Star. | |

Yes Conan...each app needs 100 hours not a total of 100 hours divided by the 20 apps. It's really not that difficult to obtain if you support multiple projects. I find this as a nice reward to those who continue to contribute to a lot of projects. | |

Yes, please define "application". | |

While I generally like the idea of badges, in this case it encourages people to run crap projects and isn't applied retrospectively. I only crunch one project at yoyo, because the others are nonsense. I'm not going to start crunching maths projects because of this, but others will. As this isn't retro it presents a disproportionate view of the work crunchers have done for various projects over many years. | |

So, did this cause my system to crash, or error because it crashed? | |
