Yes, 2.85. If the <credit_rate> tag is present in the workunit
analysis_config, the value present there will be used. That will
allow us to vary the multiplier without releasing a new application.

Crunch3r, I have been unable to find anything in the code which transfers the <credit_rate> value to LOAD_STORE_ADJUSTMENT. Would you send him a reply asking about that, he's about to go on vacation and a reply is more likely to catch his attention than a new query from me. I think we have a situation where he intended to add the code but didn't.
Joe
Crunch3r:
I'll send him your reply to my post as well as a link to here. Hopefully i can catch him before he leaves to vacation.
[EDIT]
eMail send. Cross your fingers that we catch him befor he's off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the email that i send to him:
Hi Eric,

This is a direct quote of what he wrote over at lunatics.at

Josef W. Segur:
For the record, the email to Eric got through and he replied:
--- Quote ---Damn, I remember writing the code in one of the constructors in seti_header.cpp, but it's definitely not there now. That's the problem with developing on multiple machines simultaneously, sometimes a change can get lost. It looks like the 5.27 application is constant at 2.85, and we'll need to do one more release to change it.
If you want yours to do it right and not need to do a later release, the function seti_analyze() in analyzeFuncs.cpp is probably a good place to add an "if (swi.analysis_cfg.credit_rate != 0) LOAD_STORE_ADJUSTMENT=swi.analysis_cfg.credit_rate;" Like around line 189.
Whatever you do, I'll do the same.

I went ahead and replied to him:
--- Quote ---Eric,
We've already released with the fixed 2.85, so will defer to you
rather than going ahead with a change. Simon and Crunch3r have
been kept pretty busy doing many builds and such, unless you
anticipate using the feature very soon it seems best to leave
the situation as it stands while things settle down.
I apologize for having taken your "(potentially)" in the SETI
Beta post where you mentioned the feature as indicating completion
of the feature was intentionally deferred.
I suppose you also will want to adjust SETUP_FLOPS ?
--- End quote ---
So no action is needed for now, but we'll probably need to do another set of builds after enough MB work has been done at SETI Main to establish whether further adjustment is needed.
