This *IS* explained in the Wiki ... look up RAC ... THe long and the short of it is that you cannot just add RAC numbers ... there is a TIME component that gives rise to the difference. One comparison is the speedometer vs. odometer, and in this case the numbers are for TWO cars ... you cannot just randomly add the values and get meaningful answers. Read up on the RAC and come back if it does not makes sense. |

You should find that your total RAC is higher than any of your individual host's RAC. It's the time component confusing you. The total is adjusted more often than the individual so it is closer to what it should be. However since the project sites generally only update RAC when a credit event occurs it is never truly accurate. BOINC WIKI   BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |
