Number 2 in RAC??

Did Rosetta change their WU's or something? It seems to me project wide that every-bodies RAC is dropping. Looking at other teams it seems that no one is safe from this??

Not sure what it is exactly, but production and claimed credit tend to take a nosedive accross the board from time to time.
I'm happy to report that my machine has been at 100% load for the last two days and has already regained 300pts in RAC. Hopefully my issues are over with.

There was a change in the BOINC code for how credit is claimed and granted; it was implemented in June 2010, but it still hasn't fully transitioned in yet. SETI is seeing the effects, too. In theory, assuming projects go with it, we will see *much* better device neutrality cross-projects. The goal (much like it was at the start) is to have approximately the same credit per host-hour of crunch time, averaged across all hosts. This means that some projects that are under-claiming credit will be boosted, and projects that are vastly over claiming (MilkyWay@home, mainly) should see significant decreases in RAC.

You can read about the history of the credit system, including its current implementation here.
