It's a Celeron 2.8 with a RAC of over 5k: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=260872 It looks like the decoys are being considered complete and so are getting full credit even though some are only running for a few seconds.

Unfortunately no high credits for me :) But my last 6 or 8 results are all credited granted = claimed. Never seen this in the last 6 or 8 weeks. Something is really strange here...

If you look at your results on the website after they have been returned, are they failing in some way? If so the fact that grant = claim could simply reflect the fact that the project team are giving you credit for time spent on broken software, which has been Rosetta policy since late 2005.

Claimed = Granted only happened with FRA_t368-WUs, DOC-WUs are granted different to claimed. ID: 30253 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This one too: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=319789 Interesting numbers for his Celerons. In many cases some of the computers identified (recognized by the Rosetta Server) as Celerons are getting more credits than the Pentiums. ¿Could it be a case of a bad id, that the comps are not Celeries? Or a case of bad validation? A quirk at the validator level? This and no other is the root from which a Tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.â€ Plato ID: 30288 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

That could account for a quick accumulation of points... -- Mats ID: 30289 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It's true those decoys couldn't have been generated in just a few seconds. However, If he's using some strange method of uploading sneakernetted results from other machines, then the reported run times might not reflect the actual run times.

For the stderr output, it looks like a file clean-up issue as it constains many copies of "normal exit". Hopefully we will be able to reproduce it locally to confirm that. More to come...
