I've had a hunt through and found some people in the task list doing Meerkat and Gamma on the same GPU. It seems all cards (AMD and Nvidia of all sorts of models) are generally a bit more than twice as fast to do a Gamma (of the same credit) as a Meerkat.
So do we conclude Einstein prefers us to do Gamma because of the higher credit?
Or do we conclude Einstein prefers us to do Meerkat, because that's what the server hands out if you don't express a preference? (And the higher credit is an oversight)
Unless I hear otherwise, I'm letting the server decide, which means 90% Meerkat 10% Gamma. I care more about the science than the credit.
If this page takes an hour to load, reduce posts per page to 20 in your settings, then the tinpot 486 Einstein uses can handle it.

Bernd has said it's about the work being done not the time it takes and Einstein is happy with the current allocation of credits for the different tasks
Ok I'll just do what I feel like doing and assume if they want more of something done they'd change the credits or give it more priority on the server for those asking for "any kind of work".

Since you don't 'do' wuprop then tasks like this
Completed and validated
90,390
80,313
500
Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT,long) v1.33 () windows_x86_64
ARGH I knew that!!! Thanks for setting the record straight..Mr P Hucker did you see this post?
Yes, I already doubted your sanity.
So it would appear Einstein is happy with mostly Gamma being done (which I assume is due to credits), but I thought they were in a hurry to do the radio stuff for the PhD student?

or this
Gamma-ray pulsar search #5 v1.08 () windows_intelx86
don't make alot of sense to me when compared to these kinds of tasks
BTW those are all cpu tasks
So the CPU appears a lot

So the CPU appears a lot faster at Meerkat? Are those tasks the same size? Check the flops in the task size in the properties.
Are you sure the Meerkat is a CPU task? I thought Meerkat went only to GPU, and the CPU got Arecibo and GBT.
But the GPU is a lot faster at Gamma than Meerkat, and those are a similar size.

BRP7 is not a CPU task. that's a GPU task. BRP7 is only available on GPU, there is no CPU version.
