I have just done this unit and though it has been processed in less than two days, it has received no bonus at all.

Perhaps this is an allocation of task issue?

You received the task 68-GIANNI_BIND_751-45-100-RND4334_0, on 13th Dec and the details say it was created on 13 Dec 2009 at 10:14:46 UTC

Your partner's task was created and sent out on the 8th Dec, but was also returned on the 13th Dec. That is 5 days later, so no bonus.

Maybe a gremlin re-created the task on the 13th especially for you!

Can I suggest that it might be worthwhile matching GPUs here at GPUGrid in the same way as they are matching CPUs over at WCG, and with success?

Here's 2 of mine from today that also received no bonus:

http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=1629158
http://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=1625586

The reason is that the original was issued to a very slow machine that didn't return the WU in time. Therefore it was reissued and in the meantime the first machine returned the WU. Therefore no bonus even though you did your job on time. Not a good way to award the credit, but that's the way they do it...

I thought they had fixed that, but perhaps they fixed something else. I do hope it was broken to begin with!

GPU-Pairing anyone?
