[sarcasm]wonderful, it's nice to know some people are sad enough to sink that low, attempting to render the whole credit system useless (it is if people can claim what they want)[/sarcasm]

i wish rosetta would implement FlOps counting...

It seems many of them are using Boinc Studio with credit calibration set to ON for Rosetta... This shall be not allowed. All pleasure for compete is gone :-(

I will report this thread to the Project. There is something afoot that will solve this issue. It will probably be in the next version of Rosetta. If the project looks at these systems and determines there is a serious issue, they will fix it.

They have in the past taken the following course of action-

1) Deleted the systems, the user ID and the credits (The situation was WAY out of line with reality)
2) Adjusted the total credits for the offending systems.
3) Nothing if it could be shown that the situation was either unintentional or legitimate (it happens)

But I can assure you that when I report it they will look into it.

It's been reporting high credits for some time back, so not merely a single benchmark which went haywire. Highly suspicious that it's anonymous to my mind.

Roll on work-unit based credits :-)

The worst part with these anonymous machines is that when compared to machines with state of the art Intels AMDs or even multi board blocks they out credit them. ( And yes we have machines in this community that have state of the art That is something that streches reality to the point of requiring believing in voodoo. I believe in voodoo but, not even the most powerful dolls can override the realities of chip and mobo structures. IN short words: those huge numbers for those machines ( and there are more than 6) are not real.

A modest Proposal: why don't we start by requiring that the computers be verifiable in order to "be granted credits. When a person goes anonymous there is no way to check if what he/she claims as credits can be produced by the machine(s) he/she use to crunch. Want to claim a gazillion benchmarks...show your computers for a "reality check.

Note: Ir would also help to have the merge function working so the people could merge or delete the computers that are no longer "real" or inactive. (Please remember that when one has to reattach a new computer profile is created so a person can have "ghosts"listed under his computers. I know: I have about 5 ghosts. I know that merging can be a hassle but there has to be a time ( probably after CASP) that this housekeeping function will have to be performed in order to get a clearer view of how many computers are really involved in the project.

If you don't use credit calibration, you report normal benchmarks. Credit calibration inflates benchmarks, therefore those people claim too much. Unfortunatelly it works in this way, although Rosetta doesn't have optimized application and benchmarks should not be increased even calibration is activated... :-(

One problem with that idea is that you might drive away the users who want to contribute but keep their computer information private. The number of users who "cheat" are probably a very small fraction of the anonymous users and trying that method of fixing may cause more harm than good.

I think it would be harder to recruit new users to the project if they were told that they had to release details of their computers to anyone who wanted to take a look. Even if we said "this information will not affect the security of your computer" a large proportion of potential users wouldn't trust that statement and err on the side of caution by staying away.

*I can block a Intercontinental backbone from operating, if I want.

Have occured to you that the computers above are virtual computers
running into this one computer ? (it has 20 teraflops)
http://www.cray.com
Probably *Anonymous cause they dont asked the supercomputer conter boss before

Err .... They have made few virtual computers ...
http://www.vmware.com
So, the benchmarks go too high -:(

*Anyway they are *not* cheating.
Else,
there will be impossible they crunching 101 WUs / day, on each virtual computer.

Hi,

I'm developping BoincStudio and I have made some tries with credit correction on Rosetta: there is a problem. Without it, i'm claiming about 5 or 6 credits per wu. With credit correction, i'm claming about 10 to 20 more. For me, problem is not comming from BoincStudio but from Rosetta.

When BoincStudio calibrating benchmarks, he's looking at the estimated fops for a work unit (e), the benchmark fops (b) and the real time spend (r)

Estimated time = e/b
Correction factor = r/estimated time

Then, at results reporting, benchmarks are divided by the correction factor.

So, if estimated fops and benchmark results are quite correct, credit correction does not change claimed credits when someone is not using an optimized client.

Rosetta is reporting 10 to 20 more estimated fops than real fops consumed and that's why BoincStudio's credit correction system is not working correctly.

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=171976

Result duration correction factor: 0.06275

Hi DocMaboul,

I don't say that BS is guilty. It is an excellent piece of software, thank you very much again for it's creation. But - as you stated, switching calibration for Rosetta to ON inflates benchmarks. Unfortunatelly, there are many people who abuse this situation... I just point this out as a possible explanation of high credits claimed by the top computers.
No offense to you and BS was meant :-) .

---

It's ok :-)

Also, I don't think these people are using BoincStudio (because core_client_version should be something like "5.x.x BoincStudio 0.xx alpha")

It's producing the same number of decoys for this WU in 10,000 seconds that my 2Ghz Athlon 64 3000+ machine produced in 86,000. It's getting twice the number of credits that my default client is getting for the same amount of work. Very strange..

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=21795438
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=21786691
and here's a set where the speeddemon created 12 in 10,000 seonds, and my machine produced 97 in 86,000.

Could one of the project staff explain why in the first case this Xeon with outrateous benchmarks is producing decoys 8.6 times faster than my system, and in the second case, is producing them at the same speed my system is?
