        <description><![CDATA[There are two different ways of running Freehal now. You can choose whether you want 'non cpu intensive' (NCI) or
'cpu intensive' (CI) workunits. <br>
CI's run about 1 hour or less with 50 MB memory, depending on your computer, and you get between 15 and 90 credits for it, depending on your benchmark results (whetstone/dhrystone).<br>
NCI's need about 4 hours with 1% to 2% CPU usage and also about 50 MB memory.<br>
For a NCI you get as much as for a CI workunit, but because NCI's need 4 hours and CI's less than 1 hour, people get less than 25% of CI credits when they run NCI workunits.<br>
CI workunits: up to 2500 per day <-> NCI workunts: up to 600 per day]]></description>

        <title>CI/NCI settings</title>

        <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.freehal.net/freehal_at_home/all_news.php#47</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[Until yesterday people got a 'cpu-intensive' workunit although they selected 'non-cpu-intensive' if the server had only 'cpu-intensive' workunits but no 'non-cpu-intensive' workunits.
As it turned out, this 'feature' was bad, so it doesn't happen any more - You don't have to be 'afraid' of getting the wrong version.

        <title>New applications</title>

        <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.freehal.net/freehal_at_home/all_news.php#46</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[The new Freehal applications are released and the work generation should work too. Every user is able to choose in the account settings
whether he wants to get non-cpu-intensive or cpu-intensive workunits. I hope we can go back to normal now.
If you find some bugs please report them in the forum.

        <description><![CDATA[I do not know yet where the latest tons of credit some users got come from.
Now I stopped the stats export and I'm going to reset the credits to the values they had some days before.
<br><br>
Anyway, all hosts and users have a per-day limit of 5000 and 50000 credits from now on. This also makes several manipulation techniques
in some team forums senseless. We can also make a new voting for this limit if you think it is too high or too low. But there will
definitely be a per-user limit.

        <title>Why you don't see reported results</title>
        <link>http://www.freehal.net/freehal_at_home/all_news.php#43</link>
        <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.freehal.net/freehal_at_home/all_news.php#43</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[Since the Pentathlon several users complained about the fact that reported results are not shown in the web interface.
I have to ensure that the SQL database doesn't grow too much (everything would be too slow then),
so the validator-assimilator (it's one daemon at Freehal instead of two to be faster)
validates the results during a few seconds after uploading. So you probably won't see successful results.
<br><br>
It also seems that for some users only the 'user' and 'team' credits have been updated when results are validated, and not the 'host' entry.
I hope this bug is fixed now, please report it in the forum if you have problems.
