Quorum Size

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

[edit] General

The number of Valid Results that have to be present in the Quorum of Results before the Work Unit can be "retired" as the Project considers that it has been processed enough to satisfy the Project's scientific rigor.

Note that this number is established as part of the proposal software Quorum Rules.

Once the Quorum of Results has been established this is the actual size of the Quorum of Results.

So, a Quorum Size before a Quorum of Results is established is how big it must be, and after the Quorum of Results has been established it is the actual size of the Quorum of Results.

For the current value you can look in this table for "min_quorum":

Project	Application	Minimum Quorum (min_quorum)	Initial Issue (target_nresults)	Maximum Error Results (max_error_results)	Maximum Total Results (max_total_results)	Maximum Successful Results (max_success_results)
