Any idea why this computer is claiming so much credit?

Measured floating point speed 31931.03 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 97389.74 million ops/sec

Umm, those are a little off the mark. Someone has played with benchmark calculations.

It would be from the speed of your pocessor being reported way faster than it really is. Your page reported this:
Measured floating point speed 31931.03 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 97389.74 million ops/sec

If you run the benchmarks again this may be fixed.

The formulia for claimed credit can be found at:

[font='courier,courier new']Something's waaaaay off the mark: setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=1270367&offset=300 shows a lot of 1000+ cr. claims.[/font]

Did you look at the Computer summary?

[font='courier,courier new']Indeed I did.

I wanted to know (and share) that this had been going on for a while, and not that it's a recent change or hiccup.

[EDIT] Is it possible that it's a multiprocessor or a cluster?[/font]

It is an odd one. 808 results, most of them not returned yet, and zero credit.
The computer summary has a creation date of August 8th but there are work units dated before that.

That happens when you merge an older machine with a newer one.
