Very weird Performance results

For the past 40 days since I brought on a new desktop dedicated to WCG my BONIC RAC has ranged from 7800-8200. Today it jumped up to 8930!!! I did not have a large number of WU's come out of PV jail. In fact for the past week I have had no more than 15 in PV, when usually I have up to 30-40. Also telling, my average BONIC daily points for the past 24 days has been 8100.

Is this some sort of anomaly in how RAC is computed? The BONIC Stats view in the BONIC Manager shows the jump in the graph. Unless one of my computers coughed up a cat fur ball (cat sleeps nearby on cold nights) I can not see how I got the performance improvement.

Re: Very weird Performance results

Tells a slightly different story on your dailies, where RAC is 30 or 60 days, cant remember, nor care, since long considered the method broken.

Re: Very weird Performance results

It seems the BS-RAC is closer to the truth with yours showing as ~7605 at present [They update the overview number every 6 hours I seem to vaguely remember], but on full calendar yours would be ~7619 opposed to the 8930 you got from somewhere, which you can see evolving at https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-5/user/detail/3942210/charts

BTW, BOINC is not BONIC or BIONIC as some keep typing.

Re: Very weird Performance results

Thanks for the link.... It is amazing how many different ways can stats be represented from the same web site. Worse than Baseball or Cricket!!

I have been pulling the wrong numbers for my now obsolete spreadsheet from this link which has same numbers but they have WCG slant.
