Hi Chaps,

This new approach is interesting and a change was probably due to add more processes, like the
protein stuff etc

I used to have about 463 WU and 4700 hours or so
of cpu time on old seti account, transferred to
the new boinc yesterday and it only shows
227 WU and 2741 hours...

Given the changeover to boinc was relatively recent,
I cant see how data from some 6 months before is
transferred correctly or is there some scaling
function performed on old seti wu stat/data ?

Couldnt find anything on this specific topic and
curious where there is a link describing this ?

btw: My win98se pair of pc's installed and ran
the s/w fine, only minor issue was lack of WU
but got downloaded after an hours wait, so both
are now running ok with a pair of pending wu
in case I am off line for a day or two,

The discrepency in your WU totals is because of when they transferred all our data to the BOINC database. The link for that info is on the main SETI (Classic) page (top, right) where it describes the transition to BOINC.

"On 14 May 2004 we made a 'snapshot' of SETI@home Classic user information (accounts, teams, profiles) and used it to initialize the new SETI@home database."



Hopefully they will do a final snapshot when they shut down SETI Classic for good.

Yes I understand the principle but, back in early May I believe I had some
400+ WU and around 4000 hrs cpu time, much more than the amount taken from
the recent snapshot. My last note about 277 units on my account happened some
6 months ago - thats what I cant figure out - and asking for clarification
as to whether they did some scaling when transferring ?

Yes I hope so too, I notice the old seti is coming up with lots of
"unknown fatal error 1" reports on both my systems and my lounge machine
has just done something strange with a few recent WU on boinc...
