Your machine has way too many tasks downloaded. Your average turnaround time is 9.75 days, and the project deadline is 10 days. So, I expect you lost a few credits by returning work after the deadline. From looking at your list of tasks, you have a huge pile of them that are about to pass their deadlines or already have. Are all these tasks actually on your machine? Or are they "ghosts"?

You should review your preferences for number of days of work to keep and frequency of connecting to internet. These may have been set too high as well.

You had a couple of tasks fail. This may have caused BOINC to assume future tasks would run in a very short time, and then to download more work then you could handle.

At this point, it looks like there are literally 100s of tasks that are passed their deadlines. The simplest way to get things back to normal would be to simply detach from the project (throwing away any work in progress, which is likely passed the deadline anyway) and then attach again. Otherwise, manually aborting many many screens full of old tasks.

Hi;

Fairly new to R@H but not to SETI and BOINC.

Currently running BOINC 6.4.7 rosetta mini 1.54 and sometimes beta 5.98.

In nearly all cases my credit granted is 50% +/- what my claimed credit is.

I read the thread about setting the run time to something longer than the default and I think I set it to 8 hrs.

Any ideas on why my claimed vs. granted is not closer?

Your machine's claim is based upon the benchmarks BOINC runs. Your granted credit is based on the work your machine returns completed. No benchmark will exactly mimic the actual run of Rosetta. But in your setup, the benchmark is not as representative of your machine's capabilities as most. Not sure why. Are you running an optimized BOINC client? These often modify the benchmark to reflect the machine's optimized ability to do work for other specific projects. Hence the resulting benchmark figures are higher then the stock BOINC client. But your granted credit is based on the average claims (per model completed) of everyone else that has worked on the same specific type of task.

Thanks for the quick response.

I was away from BOINC/SETI for awhile due to work (like 9 months) and when I came back this year I had to update my BOINC from a version 5 something to the 6.4.7 I downloaded recently. I only recently started crunching for R@H and had been previosuly crunching for Einstein (not anymore) and on and off for SETI since 1999.

I don't believe it's an optimised client, if it is I didn't know it at the time I downloaded it from the link provided on the SETI site.

I'm running it on a Dell WS650 with two 3.4 XEONs (server processors - hyperthreaded -4 virtual procs). Running XP.

I *am* running an optimized SETI (for SSE2). But I don't think that would have anything to do with this would it?
