Looking into this from another perspective, looking at http://boincstats.com/stats/host_cpu_stats.php?pr=rosetta&st=200&or=12 shows that for Rosetta, the Q6600 is ranked as 274th for credit per cpu-second (much higher ranking in other projects - see some earlier posting of mine in this thread).

Using the quoted average of 0.01945 Rosetta credits per cpu second, we find that a Q6600 @2.4 giving 100% of 24hrs to Rosetta should average 672 credits per day.

on my calculator, using your number 0.01945*3600*24, I get 1680 credits

Sorry, my mistake, it should read:

Using the quoted average of 0.001945 Rosetta credits per cpu second, we find that a Q6600 @2.4 giving 100% of 24hrs to Rosetta should average 672 credits per day.

0.001945 * 3600 * 24 * 4 = 672

Even then I have a problem, because on my Q6600 which does not run 24/7 (about 65% to 70% of that), and crunches 5 different projects (40% resource share for Rosetta), RAC is something like 590 credits/day. Okay, it is overclocked to 3 GHz, but even then running under the conditions you describe, it would exceed 672 credits per day, I think.

The 0.001945 number must be an average. I have two Q6600s that are dedicated to R@H (both are overclocked to 3.4GHz) and I am getting at least 1800 RAC. I am only overclocked by 40% so if we reduce my results by 40%, we are still way north of 672.

Where does the 0.001945 constant originate?

I think it's from here:

Although the figure currently given is 0.001784. Doesn't seem right.

Thanks for the advice, I'd love to be contributing more, but the credits seen for other projects are much, much higher.

I know some people do distributed computing for credits, but I encourage you to also consider the scientific and medical value of your computer's work. In the end, credits are just numbers; medical breakthroughs can improve the lives of millions.

As an experiment, 1 of the Q6600's I have was set to run Rosetta 100% share, EIST was disabled & the system conf'd for 4 cpus, 100% usage etc. CPU-Z confimed ongoing 2.4Ghz Clock rate & BoincMgr often showing >99% on all 4 active running cores, even during interactive usage. After a week or so it was consistently getting a daily credit of about 500.

The Q6600 systems I have access to (currently 6 of them, a few more on the way) are now primarily processing SIMAP. I figure this is contributing (indirectly) to the same scientific and medical benefits as Rosetta. I'd hate to support something with virtually senseless aims!! Chasing credits is not my primary motivation, but it does add a little interest.

Why not support Rosetta, regardless of the credits? The stats seem to indicate that there is something fundamentally askew with Rosetta running on Q6600's. The averages across all Q6600's on Rosetta are way down compared to other projects where Q6600's rate much better on average. Based on my own claimed vs granted, many WU's are getting 10% of claim, which means a lot of wasted resource. If other projects are more suitable, then in terms of contribution to mankind's scientific knowledge it makes sense NOT to use them for Rosetta.

I have 2 Q6600s running. One of them is running stock @ 2.4GHz and the other is running at 3.5GHz.

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=43057

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=591177

Both of them are over 1,000 RAC and I expect them to settle at 1,400 & 2,100.

Give me about a week of run time and I will post the results. Both of these systems are rebuilds and they were down for a few days. I should have solid numbers in a few days.
