(moderation:
Hello, i was wondering if the point system used by all Boinc projects is standardized?, for instance, is 100 points in einstein@home, equal in some way, perhaps the amount of processing, to 100 points in lhc@home?

Of the three I know, Einstein, SETI and QMC, this last one uses a different system and explains why in its home page. But the credits/hour rate is different also from SETI to Einstein, at least on my slow PII CPU.

Yes. At least in theory.
In the beginnig credit was issued only on the basis of a benchmark and the time spent on a WU. But both were easy to manipulate, so this was dropped by most of the big projects. (LHC still uses this.)
Now the amount of credit is preset by project admins (E@H, SETI).
