Since systems have many variables, including the amount of RAM, the processor speed, and specific architectures of different motherboards and CPUs, there can be wide discrepancies in the number of credits that different computers (and projects) judge a user to have earned. The interface then can “guess” at the amount of credit a user should receive. In so doing, BOINC uses benchmarks to measure the speed of a system, combining that figure with the amount of time required for a work unit to be processed. The BOINC system allows for work of any length to be processed and have identical amounts of credit issued to a user. The actual computational difficulty needed to run a given work unit is the basis for the number of credits that should be granted. 1,000 VAX MIPS based on the Dhrystone benchmark.1,000 double-precision MFLOPS based on the Whetstone benchmark.The basis for the BOINC credit system is the cobblestone, named after Jeff Cobb of By definition, 200 cobblestones are awarded for one day of work on a computer that can meet either of two benchmarks: Cryptocurrency projects such as Gridcoin have their proof of work reward tied to BOINC credits.BURP allows a user to submit models to be rendered, and Leiden Classical allows users to submit physics calculations. Projects such as BURP, and Leiden Classical allow users to submit their own operations for use in the system.Projects such as PlanetQuest plan on allowing individuals to name those planets discovered using their computers.Some individuals and teams run many computers and have some dedicated specifically to BOINC in hopes of climbing to the top of the world charts.To team up, earn credit, and compete against other users and teams.

Processing distributed computing projects places a computer under continuous full CPU load, therefore, overclockers often use the stress to test their system's stability.To help fight disease may have an emotional connection for those participating.To advance the specific field of study of a project(s).For this reason, projects such as and other BOINC projects depend on a complicated balance among long-term users and the cycle of new users and retiring users. Online distributed computing relies heavily, if not completely, on volunteer computers.
