I'm not sure CPDN was properly calculating RAC, since our credit method (i.d. based on trickles) is a lot different than any other BOINC project. I now have stats recalced twice a day, and now using the "half-life" algorithm directly in the SQL, so I think the numbers are more accurate. ID: 14190 · Reply Quote

RAC must currently include the huge numbers gained in recalculation, getting lost credits from the last month, and the upgrade in credits for early WUs. ID: 14195 · Reply Quote
