Hello, I just noticed this, and not sure if this will make a difference in credit received by my machines on this project. The wetstone value seems incredibly high. I just ran a benchmark via Boinc. Intel xeon e5-2680v1. 8/24/2021 1:01:14 AM | | Running CPU benchmarks 8/24/2021 1:01:45 AM | | Benchmark results: 8/24/2021 1:01:45 AM | | Number of CPUs: 32 8/24/2021 1:01:45 AM | | 3817 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 8/24/2021 1:01:45 AM | | 56045 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU Anyone else experiencing this? Should I just ignore it? thanks! |

Rosetta uses the benchmarks to determine Credit. However under certain conditions it also uses BOINC's Credit New Mechanism. The end result- initial Credit granted may be high/low, but it will eventually settle down to a more normal level if the benchmark values are too high/low (when work is available again). To me (not that i've paid much attention too them, but having a look at a few other systems values) it doesn't appear to be an unreasonable value for that CPU. Grant Darwin NT |

Looks about right to me but I haven't paid too much attention to the benchmarks boinc uses. Here is what I see on a few of my systems (whetstone): E5-1620 - 4470 FP MIPS 3970X - 7221 FP MIPS 3950X - 6155 FP MIPS 3900X - 7262 FP MIPS The important thing is to run the benchmark once and let boinc do all of the rest. |

Thank you for that info. I'll just let Boinc and the project worry about it. I just wanted to make sure nothing was amiss. Here's hoping more work appears. |

I just noticed this, and not sure if this will make a difference in credit received by my machines on this project. The whetstone value seems incredibly high.... Yes, you should do your best to have them removed... lol Bank it and hope no-one tries to fix it. Blimey... |
