Cheater suspected!
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 9:35 pm
Hi everyone!
I am writing here in order to draw your attention towards some situation that I find at least weird, or even more, I suspect cheating. I am talking here about user "Olorin" from my team "Folding@Romania" (team no. 12713).
Things are like this: this gus has not been folding at all for the past year or so and now he has popped up with some very curious PPDs for his WUs.
Looking at this stats you will notice that he's got 14 times (15,360PPDs for 8WUs and 11,520PPDs for 6WUs in a row) the same huge & magic number 1920 PPDs per 1 WU!
I have been folding for more than a year (using more than 10 different processors, platforms & architectures) and I have never been able to get such an huge number of PPDs for a WU and more so, make it consequently. I have also looked to other teams and team member stats and did not notice such spectacular "round" numbers. I could see that people, even when folding with 1 or 2 CPUs will get almost each time a different amount of PPDs as the client itself shifts the project number almost every new run! Am I wrong?
Last of his "prize" goes for: 01.06, 12pm --> 25,344 PPDs --> for 14 WU making it, again, a stunning average of 1810.28 PPD per WU.
People, I don't want to sound paranoid or dumb but just PLEASE clear out this one for me! I just want to find out how can I set my "whatever folding client" with "whatever options" to run projects that would award such a huge number of PPDs. I would like to find out if there's any miracle CPU capable of crunching WUs of such PPD value - I would buy one or more for myself!
Don't get me wrong: I have started folding for one sole reason and that was helping science. I still enjoy every single PPD that I get for my work and believe me there is effort I have put on gathering 14 CPUs to run folding@home on for now. I just want to make sure that what my team "folding@romania" does is pure folding effort and NO cheating. Can somebody please check deeper on this situation.
I am also available to apologize if my case is wrong!
Thank you for your time.
