There is more hosts for S@H-BOINC than BOINC combined?

Also, all the "active hosts" for BOINC combined are punting for S@H.

See the figures quoted.

From the BOINCstats news:

2005-11-13 - BOINC combined host stats.
BOINC combined host stats are now available. Please be aware that not all projects are (completely) ready for combined hosts stats, and as a result the stats can be either incomplete and/or incorrect.

In your personal host stats you may miss some hosts, or even have some hosts that aren’t yours. Some hosts are not merged into one because their CPID is not aligned across projects. This is an issue to be resolved by the projects.

Previously, the number of BOINC hosts was the sum of all projects hosts. Now it’s the actual number of hosts in the combined database. As not all hosts have a CPID yet, and because there are many duplicate CPIDs, this number is much less then it used to be!

So the SETI numbers are correct, the total BOINC are understated.

As far as hosts, the SETI numbers are probably overstated a bit also due to the problem with a particular host occasionally getting assigned a "new" identifier for whatever reason. That will also probably get worse before it gets better, since the "merge hosts" function is borken - I have one myself.

Since you yourself have a broken merge host fuction have you considered talking to your doctor about some viagra ;)

And God said"Let there be light."But then the program crashed because he was trying to access the 'light' property of a NULL universe pointer.

Going looking through the bug-reporting forum, I see what the issue is.

Old BOINC clients (prior to version 4 I think) did not have a host-CPID. These hosts are in the projects database (DB) without (= empty) CPID. Imported into BOINCstats, these still don't have a CPID (obviously).
The there are also some projects that have duplicate host-CPID's. This is an error in THEIR DB.

The CPID is the thing that matches the host across projects, and is (should be) a unique identifier. But, all hosts with an empty CPID are A] not unique and B] cannot be matched with another host because which of the thousands of hosts that also don't have a CPID is the match????

So, in the BOINC combined stats we only have the hosts that DO have a UNIQUE CPID. All hosts with either an empty CPID or a duplicate CPID are discarded.

So the SETI numbers are correct, the total BOINC are understated.

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

There were also only 400K to 500K active S@H classic users.

Near its end SETI@Home Classic had over 5 Million registered users.

Anyone know how many made the switch over to BOINC? and out of all those who registered or activated their BOINC accounts How many are actively crunching?

Thanks,

according to boincstats there are currently almost 500,000
