Yep, this is your misfortune of teaming up with 2 fast machines and really evidences the concept of quorum 3. What is agreeably wrong is that these guys should have been getting around 50/60 for the job...that would have been if under Woz...... This is where R@H has become impartial....cant care less as to what OS it was run on..... looking forward to a credit system revision.

cheers

Over on Rosetta@home, mmciastro has posted a benchmark comparison chart (that requires a lot of bandwidth, he posted a graphics file) that shows the points per hour for a lot of different chips and operating systems running BOINC. Linux usually only awards 55% as many points as Windows. http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=2415

Bandaid repair for this is simple.

Points awarded = Linux score x 1.82

As the deviation is a constant there is no reason this hasn't already been done.

Here's my latest theory resulting from discussion in another thread, but belongs here.

My XP3000+ takes a little less than 6 hours, on average to complete a FAAH WU and claims 10.81 PPH for an average of 63.x PPWU

My Celeron 1300 takes around 12 Hours to complete a FAAH WU and it claims 6.81 PPH at an average of nearly 80 PPWU

The relationship between PPH and PPWU can be seen to be inconsistant, and both must be seen in context.
Discussion of one will lead to the other in order to get a true view of what is happening.

My observation from this, is that although the fastest machines claim more PPH than slower ones, they claim fewer PPWU due to completing the WU disproportionately faster. The result in a points quorum is that the fastest machines then have their effective PPH amplified by receiving the higher than claimed PPWU from the slower ones.

I would like to out out a call for more datum so that this theory can be examined properly.
What is needed?
For this experiment please supply the type and speed of your CPU.
A 'Cut & Paste' from some recently submitted and verified FAAH Work Unit results, BOINC only. These are available from 'My Grid-Device Manager-Results Status' Select the computer you have nominated in the left side drop down box and 'Valid' In the Results Status (right side) drop down window, then click 'Filter. From the reults shown, click on the name of a typical Work Unit and select the information shown in the pop-up window. Right click on your selection and select 'copy' from the dropdown box. You may then Paste the reults to this thread. It would help to underline the result from the nominated machine.

Thanks for you help.
This is not intended to be a groan, it is designed to identify problems and perhaps lead to a viable solution to them. The more data collected the sooner theories can be confirmed or debunked. Either result is a step forward.
