Hi folks, I have a query. My daily RAC is much higher than my total credit on a daily basis. So, for example, today my RAC was around 21,400, but my total went up only the usual 6000-7000 per day.This is how it has been for ages now. My daily RAC far exceeds the total (per each day) that I see climb. I would have thought that no matter how many WUs one has waitig for validation, the two figures would eventually come out in the wash, so to speak. Does anyone know if this is normal and for that matter, why does Boinc behave this way? Les, milo, anyone know this one? Thx in advance!!
Cheers
Bill

Unfortunately, the RAC provided by the hadam3p model is unrealistically high. The total credits are correct, the RAC is wrong. See this thread for more info.

Thx for the info geophi. I wonder why this is the case? Plus I would love to know how much credit I am really generating, givien that they now run 24/7. Before I ran my pcs most, but not all of the time. So, I am curious about the increased work output now. Maybe I should set my preferences to another model type to see what it produces. Thx again geophi!!
Cheers
Bill

Just ignore the so called "average" graph as it is rubbish (and I fail to see any logic in it's wild fluctuations). I have done for a long time now, and wonder why so much processing time is wasted on useless information.

Rely on the total credit graph, and it is very easy to see the rate of increase changes by resting a ruler (or edge of a sheet of A4) against the screen to see varations from the normal rate of increase, which, if constant, would be a straight line.
