Hi, Have just been looking at my current tasks and noticed one of the clients processing the same WU had received 3,672 credit for 0.00 secs of CPU time! Took a look at the computer working on this and this seems to be the case for the last 8 tasks, so over 30,000 credit in 6 hours! Something seems to be a bit wayward with the credit awarded here don\'t you think? Dave. |

For whatever reason, the tasks on the webpage say \"client detached\". When that happens, the CPU time on the webpage will not be accurate, but they should continue to accumulate trickles and credits and complete the tasks in a useful manner. This occasionally has happened to me, if I restore from backup, or if I make some change to the computer that boinc doesn\'t like, and temporarily thinks that the computer has become some other computer. I guess I wouldn\'t worry about it too much unless it keeps happening with future tasks. |
