Have a look at the list of computers over at Einstein@Home for user ID 54612. 6083 of them all told :). All seem to have a single work unit. A fair bit of trashed work there.... Imagine the electricity bill if the list were real.... :). Cheers, Gary. |

I'm somewhat skeptical. All of the host computers are identical. We've seen problems with a few host's replicating themselves thousands of times when there are network / PC problems. I think that's the case here as well. If not, power to the cruncher! He'll need plenty to keep that farm up and running! |

Sure looks like the guy had problems with ONE system repeatedly registering. See: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=2346 and: http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=2324 |

I'm interested that you say that something like this has happened before as I personally had not seen it. Was the issue ever resolved? Was there any indication or more details of what exactly the "network problem" was? Cheers, Gary. |

If you had over 6300 computers going in your list, would you want to spend a fortnight merging them? ;) |

[font='fixedsys,courier']Not really - It's one click for a host, one click on "Select All", and one click on the "Submit" button. Methinks the CPU in question has gone rampant. Anyone wanna contact the owner?[/font] |

I already emailed Rom on it way earlier. Let's see what happens. |
