what does pending mean in boinc when i am looking at my result page i still hae some work units pending even from 8 days ago

Simply that your credit award is pending (judgement). When your credit is calculated and awarded, then it will be no longer pending.


simple questions is something that does not need a great explanation but with answers thing are never simnple.

Simple questions are often the best ;-)


Boinc-s@h credit ("Cobblestones") are calculated from at least three results for a quorum of up to four results. The pending status just means that the minimum 3 results haven't been returned yet. You must wait for others' slower machines or their larger caches to clear.


Welcome to Boinc,

Happy crunching,
Martin
