Found something strange reviewing my host list.
The total over all hosts is about 83,339 credits, but on home.php my total credits are 41,224.

I'm sure that the displayed totals are correct, but the credits per host are wrong.

On my host list you can see one with 55,539 credits and one with 21,115.

On boincstats you can see, that Host ID "275491" got 52,617 credits on 2006-07-22 and Host ID "277641" got 10,985 credits on 2006-07-26, but there is no big glitch recorded in stats graphs here.

Can someone imagine what happened to that two hosts to get too much credits in 2006-07? Couldn't find anything about a server chrash in that time.

your link to hoist list is the generic one and so we actually see our host list ;-)

as for boinc stats, they're a 3rd party site and the glitch could be thiers. who knows


P.S. Your graph with the sudden change of credit rate at July/Aug 06 is very much like what would have happened when the new credit system came in and you where using the benchmark inflated boinc clients at before that.

Or you where using a benchmark inflating boinc client and moved to a none benchmark inflating client (wrt rosetta@home)

oh and it was the end of Aug we switched to the new credit system, so that is my guess.



But as for the glitch as you call it, more than likely just a problem at boincstats at the time, it does that. Just use their options to remove it from the best list.

Sorry for the generic link, always forget about that. Here are the links to client 1 and client 2.

Don't know what graphs you were looking at but what I was complaining about was the fact that there is NO change (glitch) at July/Aug 06. Maybe you noticed the one at Nov 07.

But it doesn't matter if it coundn't be fixed, I can live with that. Just wanted to point to a kind of DB inconsistance or something like that. I have another machine on predictor@home which also displays more credits than I have in total.

It occured to me you might of done a host merge that day.

I looked at my Rosetta stats in BOINCstas, where I had to re-install my OS. I had 2 two computers merged, both being the same machine. When I looked at the merged machine it has a 40,000 credit on it. That excess credit is from the merge I did of the two identical computers.

So a merge of computers in a project will cause BOINCstats to abnormally increase the computer stats by all the credits of the other machines.

But the credits on one machine couldn't (or shouldn't) be higher than my credits on the whole project!
