At least some of the project statistic pages show wrong values as there are users with a (much) higher application average than total average. Examples from https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/per_app_list.php?appid=14&is_team=&is_total=0 User: xxxxxxx ATLAS (recent average): 78,196.99 total (recent average): 0.10 User: xxxxxxx ATLAS (recent average): 42,408.63 total (recent average): 1,538.30 User: xxxxxxx ATLAS (recent average): 24,496.37 total (recent average): 0.07 User: xxxxxxx ATLAS (recent average): 16,186.81 total (recent average): 0.07 |

My guess is that application averages are calculated with different formula than total recent average. Maybe it is even outside the Boinc server code? There seems to be a much longer decay time on application average than on total recent average.

You may be right, although I don't see any sense behind different decay times. In addition you may look at CMS. Lots of users with a recent average of several thousand credits although there was no work for months. |

It looks like users who don't deliver any more results remain on their last average forever while users who deliver results, even invalids like for CMS, get their average updated. |
