It's the top ten team contributors for the day as measured by awarded project credit, in this case I THINK it's BOINC credit rather than WCG points.

What site do you get these graphs from? They look rather different from the graphs that Free-DC provides, and I must say I rather prefer them
I'd say SAM is making them himself. People better thank the man for his effort, too! :)
Aha, thanks :)

The issue is there are two points systems with WCG (due to a client change in the middle there somewhere). WCG points, and BOINC points. Each BOINC point is worth 7 WCG points. So, WCG's website shows WCG points, but the pie from free-dc is in BOINC points.
Yeah, a little confusing sometimes....

On a side-note, I was the 239th top producer. :(
Umm... so are my current settings helping with SCW or do I have to change something? If I decide after this points push that I want pie, what do I have to change????
Thanks for the quick reply Sparky! :)

Ok, first and foremost WCG points are not the same as BOINC credit. This catches a LOT of people. It's a long story, but though WCG uses the BOINC client/server system they credit points differently. One BOINC point is worth about 7 WCG points (but only if crunched on WCG, credit from other projects is not transferable). Credit earned while with WCG goes to your overall BOINC stats in normal BOINC points but it will show up on the WCG stats pages as WCG points. The daily pie numbers are in BOINC points, but the positions are the same either way. See if this helps(WCG are approximate):
Posn..Name...........Boinc Points.....WCG Points
1.......trn-XS............86,668............606,676
2.......Hypernova......78,081............546,567
3.......dak1640.........52,397............366,779
4.......XS_fallwind.....43,262............302,843
5.......RAMMIE..........40,013............280,091
6.......stoneageman...38,508............269,556
7.......pirogue...........38,175............267,22 5
8.......muddy101.......37,933............265,531
9.......w0en..............37,593............263,15 1
10.....Biker-.............36,361............254,527
Bobsama: You just confused me even more. :rolleyes: I not dense. Really. ;) This is way more confusing than F@H. WTF is RAC? What is a credit target? What changes if I set one? Is there a way to convert WCG points to Boinc points? The 2nd link told me nothing. :(Quote:

For maximum WCG points, you want your CPUs set to use 100% of cores, 100% of the time, keep working while the system is in use, do not suspend no matter what % the CPU goes over, in the BIOS turn off any power saving/throttling functions, turn off the screen-saver (just set the monitor to turn off) and that about covers it for all the basics.Quote:

WCG used to use a different points system when they had their own client. They stopped developing their own client and made a switch to using the BOINC client years ago.
The only place to see WCG points is on WCG's site. Otherwise, most DC stat sites (like BOINCstats & Free-DC) will display your BOINC points. What I linked to on the top is your own page on BOINCstats; it's statistics for just yourself. The Credit Target & Date Target are quick little calculators that estimate (based on your daily production) when you'll reach a points target (for example; you'll reach 100,000 BOINC points in 9.61 days--13 Nov 2010) or about how many points you'll have on a certain day (for example; you'll have about 318,000 BOINC points on Christmas Eve).
RAC stands for Recent Average Credit. It's scraped from WCG--the last week's production if I'm not mistaken. Then there's BS-RAC, which is BOINCstat's own calculation based on 8 weeks of production (if I'm not mistaken).
Remember, 1 BOINC = 7 WCG, so your 37,409 BOINC points equal about 261,863 WCG points. You get both at the same time. In addition, when you're on the Statistics page in BOINC Manager, you see your BOINC points.
BOINC is the Berkley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. Like Sparky said, it's the software used to manage both the server end where they hand out the work units, collect them back and tally results, as well as the client end where it manages the actual science applications that do the work, handles communications, benchmarking and local control.
There are possibly hundreds of separate projects that can be "plugged into" the BOINC system, which is what you do when you "attach" to a project. WCG is just one of those projects.
D A: Thanks done it already. ;) My confusion lies in the fact this is Super Computer Week. I joined to help this points push. You can see my WCG points total over 100K ppd. Why is the Pie thread specifically targeted to Boinc points? Shouldn't Boinc points be considered a separate project and have it's own forum if WCG points aren't Boinc? Someone please connect the dots. None of it makes sense to new members. :rolleyes:Quote:

No BOINC is tied to WCG as it is the software they use. A BOINC point is "generic" in one sense, it isn't an actual DC project in of itself.
The reason for the pie thread to be tied to BOINC points is the pie thread originated by using the stats.free-dc.org site. And over there, they are using reported BOINC points, not WCG points. Why, I don't know. But because of that, the pie coming from there is in BOINC points.
When SAM started doing the pie each day, he started making his own pie charts. However, to keep it in the same format as how the thread had been previously, he kept using the BOINC points.
Our overall numbers thread, and general chit-chat stuff is in WCG points for the most part. I think this thread is really the only "odd-man out" so to speak. But again, that has to do with its origin.
Yeah I agree it is a little on the confusing side at times.
Yes, your points are going to the right place. :up:Quote:

If you are using BOINC then everything you do will earn you BOINC points. If you want to be earning WCG points then you need to be connected to the WCG project. If you want to earn the MOST WCG points you can then make sure you are ONLY connected to the WCG project.Quote:

If you have any other projects listed there then your work will be distributed between them to varying degrees. If you only have the one, like mine, then all of your work is going to WCG.
You can pick any project through WCG that fits your taste and DA already stated that your points are going in the right place and YOU are helping.Quote:

I do not recall but I think 1 project will get a bunch of errors under win7 and most likely vista. Every time I run it the wu's error out a lot and is not worth my time.
Hope this helps.
to make it easy: boinc or WCG are one in the same. When you look at your production under WCG page; divide your daily total by 7 to get a rough estimate of your daily boinc points which you can comepare for the pie thread
Ok, think of it like this:
Consider BOINC like a delivery truck. You get BOINC points (miles driven) for every trip that truck makes. Obviously you can't make a delivery without packages, so let's consider the work units that get done to be those packages and the projects (ie WCG) they belong to as the addresses each package goes to.
If you only deliver packages to one address then the points you get for all the deliveries to that address will be the same as the points you get for every delivery the truck makes. If you are making deliveries to more than one address (say you're delivering to Milkyway@Home, Primegrid and Rosetta@Home as well as WCG) then the truck will do more miles getting to all the addresses than it does just getting to the WCG address. The total BOINC points (miles on the truck) will be a lot more than the deliveries you've made to any one project.
I'll try to make it a bit more competitive next week, unfortunately after XS - SC week #2. I'm happy to share some pie and friendly competition against Hypernova, with his incredible collection of computers i'm just lucky to be even in the same league :)Quote:

Less reliable and less convinent for the majority of our users whom are in Europe and North America. WCG is a good place for daily numbers but their information is hard to sort by team member daily output so it makes generating a pie chart hard. Also WCG updates at 9:15pm EST or 2:15am GMT and 3:15am CET so very untimely for majority of our users. So, to SAM, keeper of the pie :toast:
Which stats site you choose to look at really won't matter in the long run, all credit the same points the only differences are in how each site times a day and reports the information. Rarely does the time difference make a difference in daily placement, and if it does our tradition is to settle any disputes with a tradiational 10 pace pistol duel :rofl:
I browse free-dc for the better reporting of averages and more detailed host reporting and here for SAM's info from boinc stats and I also check WCG totals at night or in the mornings if I miss the night before, good for project run times and quickie WCG point conversion or project specific run times or returned results and the likes.
Thanks to all those posting! :) Just got off the phone with Dave. He made things crystal clear for me. ;) Grasshopper is learning. :rofl::rofl::rofl:
