Machine ID?

We have several sources as many of you do folding under 1 name, cpu's, gpu's and PS3's. Is there any way at all of being able to see each individual system and its production on its own? It seems like this is possible as long as every source has a different machine ID, but from what I can find it does not seem to seperate points at all.

If setting different machine ID's yelds no seperation of data then what exactly is the point? Just trying to understand.

You mean other then HFM (Tools/Work unit History viewer)? The PS3 can't be tracked , but you know what it does per day...900 to 1000 unless it's being used.

Or maybe these rigs are in other locations out of your Lan? I use Logmein free for Windows, looking right now at a couple things to remote control Linux. Leaning toward VPN from one of the Win rigs.

HFM maintains a .csv of all the WUs you've completed, as Dave says. It will sort them for you by Instance name, Client TYpe or any of the other columns. If you want to get fancy you can imprt the the file into Excel, Access, or Open Office and manipulate the data any way you want.

The User ID of a machine is a bit of a misnomer. In reality it identifies a machine. THe Machine ID is really the Instance number on a machine. You have to use different Machine IDs on each instance running under the same User ID so that the Assignment server doesn't see them as the same instance and send duplicate WUs (lost WU algorithm). The AS recognizes an instance by a hexadecimal number comprised of the User ID + the Machine ID. The real user id is now the passkey.
