Maybe the MW team should check out the stats on this page, specifically the 'Hosts by OS' graph at the bottom. Windows 81%, Linux 15%, Mac 3%, Other .2%.

If you check the stats carefully you will see more strange things ...example ,a simple quad q6600 (Windows) with 82.000 credits per day !!

Or much better a dual core system with windows has 568.000 credits per day !!!

NO FUCKING WAY !!!!!

Yes there are many oddities.

(I can't say if this is out of place) but a 32(64) core server is getting 1.6 million credits/day. Is that correct?

This is really weird. If someone has found a way to somehow slam our server and get more work than they should.. while reporting bogus results that might explain some of the server problems we've been having.

Going to look into this.

Fortunately, Travis can very easily see the owner of those computers from the admin pages.

I would guess one who is very good and a few others who aren't as proficient at cheating/ and/or optimizing the new apps.

Well, I would be careful about making calls of cheating.

This could be merely a case of host merging.

Or could be multiple virtual machines running on one host thereby getting more work?

Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope.

Could be. The owner might then resort to merging a number of the 'virtual' HID's to reduce the clutter in his account listing and presto, whopping big numbers every so often.

We've seen this kind of 'creative scripting' off and on for at least a couple of years.

I have just reduced my connection tine from 1.5 days to .5 days but I am still running High piority any chance of increasing stripe deadline time perhaps by a day to four days. not for this host but slower. I will still be able to complete these WU in time as most of my other prject WUs have deadlines of 28 days. Just means suspending other projects for a couple of hours.

Unfortunately, what we're doing is somewhat more time sensitive than other BOINC projects, so the 3 day limit is already pretty high.

Also, this situation should improve as folks TDCF settles back down from the chaos of the last month or so. ;-)

I wasn't having HP/EDF issues back last summer when things were relatively quiet around here. :-D

<edit> I know you're waiting for new local drives to arrive, but could you please consider going back to 1 day purging. We seemed to be doing OK with that when everyone was on the same app page at this runtime level before. ;-)

Just a quick YEE-HAA for the staff at MW!! Just ran my first WU with the optimized app.( .04 ) My machine is a P4/3.06/1 CPU/ 1 gig of memory & 128 mb video. The WU flew through my machine aproximately 10 times faster!!! WU's were running 9 to 10 hrs B4, now, 1 hr & 17 mins for a WU. thats much better.Good work.

Since this was covered before in this topic=

It seems that it should be impossible to get this kind of credit on MW with the credit limit right?

How about 3,145,349 credits in one day?
