It looks like the number of users with credit at Einstein@Home will pass that of ClimatePrediction.Net within a few days--Einstein@Home will then take 2nd place as the most popular BOINC project (after SETI), bumping ClimatePrediction.Net from 2nd to 3rd.


As of right now:

(1) SETI@Home            : 87,606
(2) ClimatePrediction.net: 35,813
(3) Einstein@Home        : 30,998
(4) Predictor@Home       : 13,200

If you rank by RAC however:

(1) ClimatePrediction.net: 4,410,948
(2) SETI@Home            : 4,075,792
(3) Einstein@Home        : 2,655,942
(4) Predictor@Home       : 401,735



Interesting... climateprediction has the higher RAC, even though it only has 66,000 hosts, compared to seti's 207,000 hosts.

Apparently CPDN are awarding slightly too many cobblestones at the moment.

Previously they gave out too few. Go figure :)

Happy Boincing

CPDN grants credit at a fixed rate per trickle. Often when a model is returned the normal BOINC credit mechanisim is also triggered resulting in double credit. There is a server side process that fixes the total credit, however the RAC is not corrected.
