OS Stats misreporting?

Post by Zagen30 »

For about a week now, the number of Nvidia clients reported on the OS Stats page has been unusually low- less than 2000. I know there are a lot more running than that, especially since an issue with the reporting of the number of clients was fixed a couple of weeks ago, and the incorrect reported number of clients was somewhere around 2500. Is there another problem with the stats servers reporting the number of active clients?

Also, I seem to recall there being a lot less than 116,000 Linux clients running, more on the order of 30,000. Has there been a ginormous uptick in Linux contributors, or is something (possible Nvidia cards) being misreported as Linux clients?

According to the last official FAH news, there are/were a few problems with the reported stats:

For one, it used to add only one per client, rather than one per actual used CPU (SMP clients counted as 1, even though they use more than 1 CPU). That would also explain the 'sudden' increase.

You know, I check the official news regularly, and yet I always seem to miss when an actual announcement is posted. Someone close this.
