Since running Famous, I've noticed my RAC has been falling sharply. The core i7 is down from over 4,000 per day to less than 3,000.
The first Famous run increased my RAC. There was mention of a slower model being beta-tested here;
Is this the result?
And shouldn't there be an adjustment?

Yes, you are right. I'm running two CPDN models myself, noticed this yesterday and reported the problem in a moderator forum. I shall send Tolu a link to my report this afternoon.

One of us should have noticed this problem last week so sorry about that. I'm sure Tolu will correct the error as quickly as possible.

Hi,
No need for apologies.
I had noticed it last week myself.
I was away for a few days and came back to find 7 Famous models running and a vertical drop in RAC.
But it took me time to decide something might be wrong.
First, no credit appeared on the main Tasks page, so I thought it was delayed.
Then I saw credit was given on the Task ID page.
So I looked at some computers with Famous running to check their speed.
(I'm running 8 models concurrently on the Core i7 so I thought it might be an issue.)
I also noticed some slowdown in other people's results on BOINC Synergy.
Next, I didn't have much luck searching the forums and only found the thread with your message through Google.

It might be useful if someone posted more detailed information about the new models.

Cheers
Maurice

I have noticed the same thing. Since I started running FAMOUS my RAC has dropped by about 250 points. Is an adjustment needed?

Yes, an upward adjustment is indeed needed. I've reported this to Tolu.

Tolu has increased the credit rate for FAMOUS tasks. This will be applied the next time the credit script runs.
