Several apps are no longer in use by the project and will never amount to anything. In a couple of years the list of inert apps could well be pushing 100, and that's for me. Some of the bigger/more diverse crunchers could have several hundred apps with only a few hours on each. Some projects seem to have a new app every week or so, while other projects simply upgrade their one app every year or two. So on the one hand we will crunch some apps but never reach 100h, and on the other hand some of us will easily reach blue for a few stars, and easily surpass this for favorite projects. For my top four projects I have over 19,000h: Docking Charmm 34a2 6,482.92 6.23 FreeHAL@home FreeHAL 2012 app 4,714.10 469.38 pogs fitsedwrapper 3,753.23 1.90 Poem@Home POEM++ OpenCL version 3,731.73 0.00 For my bottom 20 projects I have 335h. Shaman already has 2 Blue stars and a Green, while I can't get a third star. The badge system is quite accommodating, but could be more so - specifically for the top crunchers and those who crunch many projects but to a lesser extent. Maybe a Star for the combined 'other apps' that have not reached 100h and a second badge or more colours? Just ideas, it's your show. |

Possibly the Level of Hr's needed to get a Star needs to be raised, as CPU & GPU Performance increases getting 5000 Hr's on a App will be easier & easier I don't follow. An hour is an hour, regardless of how fast the work is done. And the badge here counts only hours. Run a project on a P4 thread for a day, you get 24 hours. Run a project on an i7 thread for a day, and you will get the same 24 hours. Same with a GPU (assuming it counts wall time and not CPU time). Reno, NV Team: SETI.USA

Follow this: Instead of only needing 20 App's @ 100 Hr's for a Bronze Star raise it to 20 App's @ 1000 Hr's to get the Bronze Star ... Or 50 App's @ 1000 Hr's for the Bronze Star ... https://signature.statseb.fr/sig-1323.png https://stats.free-dc.org/badgesbanner.php?cpid=13a87c3a303bcdca4ba0ed600daebb6b |

After only 2months, some people already have 5stars and some have blue stars. As is, after a mere 6months, some people will have little or no further interest in the projects badge system and within two years hundreds of others could be in the same situation. 1000h isn't that difficult for most projects, but it would increase the list of apps which didn't reach the bronze badge level, and would probably deter crunchers with only one average system; a cruncher with a single quad core/thread system would take 10.4days per project crunching 24/7 to reach 1000h per app. That's 208days for a bronze star (assuming only 20 projects are needed). I'm thinking the badges need to be more exponential or have higher multiples, but I would favor the idea of it being based on the calendar as its a runtime tally. So, week/month/quarter/year/leap year/decade/century and millennium if you like: 100 hours : Bronze -> 168h (week) 250 hours : Silver -> 730h (month) 500 hours : Gold -> 2190h (quarter) 1000 hours: Ruby -> 8760h (1year) 2500 hours: Emerald -> 35040h (4years leap/WC/Olympic year ) 5000 hours: Sapphire -> 87600h (10years) This would stretch the times out, but not be too difficult to begin with. I would have a silver and a bronze, be half way to gold and silver, and would remain interested for longer. Alternatively, or as well, you could stretch the stars out: 20 applications : 1 star -> 10apps 40 applications : 2 stars -> 25apps 60 applications : 3 stars -> 50apps 80 applications : 4 stars -> 100apps 100 applications: 5 stars -> 250apps |

Yes, I understand your suggestion about changing the values of the stars. That's fine by me. Or adding more stars. Whatever works. But that is not what I was responding to. I was addressing your point about faster processors and faster GPUs making it easier to hit the badge requirements. That is the part that doesn't make sense to me. The badges are awarded based on time, not credits or work done. For example, running a 5870 for a day is exactly the same as running a 7970 for a day, as far as the badges here are concerned. Of course, the 7970 would do more work, but that is irrelevant. Reno, NV Team: SETI.USA

Is there some reason a second Badge couldn't be added, this would add five more stars and would leave enough room for a fair bit of growth in the number of apps and help keep some of the power crunchers motivated. As a short term fix perhaps adding an Amethyst badge at say 25000 hrs would help for those that prefer to devote their resources to their favourite projects. The gap between Sapphire and Amethyst could be mitigated perhaps by changing Emerald -> 5000 hrs and Sapphire -> 10000 hrs. That would keep the changes to a minimum and keep the lower levels within reach of the average Cruncher...

Okay I see what you mean now & your right, I just thought you didn't understand what I was referring to about increasing the amount of Hr's to reach a higher level of Badge or the amount of App's to reach a higher level of Badge ... https://signature.statseb.fr/sig-1323.png https://stats.free-dc.org/badgesbanner.php?cpid=13a87c3a303bcdca4ba0ed600daebb6b |

Heh. I was the one who brought up the need for a more difficult scheme originally. ;) http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/forum_thread.php?id=159&nowrap=true#961 Reno, NV Team: SETI.USA

I now have enough hours for seven stars. The 6th would be gold, and the 7th bronze. And I am working on "what if" stars beyond that. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55884901/stars.ods Reno, NV Team: SETI.USA

Even though I have a relatively small output, I have already reached stars for 80 applications and have over 100 applications that I have time on. I am not running all projects either. So if a smaller cruncher like me can reach over 100 applications without running all projects, then with new application releases from all the various projects, it wont take a real long time to reach upwards of 200 applications. Currently we have 5 possible stars and 100 applications on 6 levels. Two badges side by side  will yield 10 possible stars and 200 applications, on current hour levels.Main problem will be size of the badge. If you changed the badge to be an X symbol made of stars you would get 9 possible stars and 180 applications (2 stars on each arm and 1 star in the middle). This could even be expanded with stars in the gaps between each arm. Still on 6 levels. Keeps badge the same size it is now or a little bigger. If the hours were increased above 5,000h to say 7,500h ; 10,000h ; 20,000h hours or following current system 10,000h ; 25,000h; 50,000h then as others have stated interest stays higher. Colours for the higher levels would be difficult but Topaz, Amethyst, Diamond Pearl, Aquamarine, Onyx or different combinations Are just a couple of suggestions without changing what is already there. But I think the current system needs expanding. Conan |

Cosmology removed the "Beta" status on the camb_boinc2docker application on 22 Dec 2015. Reference their Forum message number 20651 Messages reads .... ------------- As of right now the camb_boinc2docker application is no longer in beta, meaning everyone will receive these jobs by default unless they have specifically chosen not to. Please read the FAQ and don't hesitate to post on the forums if you run into issues. Thanks everyone and happy holidays! ------------- Please update WuProp to remove Beta from application name description. Thanks Bill F In October 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; There was no expiration date.

Reference their Forum message number 20651 Well a lot of time has passed but no action has taken place on this request. Does anyone have a theory why not ?
