Hurray!

Tristan: Confirmed. Thanks for the fix.

Matt: Different.
On project's site: separate entry for each cpu type, on GR: one per hostname.
In my prev. post, first table was data from Rosetta@home site, and second one was from GR site.

Thanks again,
  and happy crunching,

...

I'll try to be more explicit:

I have a computer called "penguin" which was upgraded from AMD Athlon 3000+ to Intel Core2 Q9400.

The "computers" listing in my Rosetta@home account shows 2 seperate "penguin"'s (actually there's a third,older older one with 0 credit, and yet another for a different machine: uzi13, but these are irrelevant for the current issue) - something like:

name   | credit   | cpu
-----------+------------+------
penguin | 200522 | Intel Core2 Q9400
penguin | 1344 | AMD Athlon 3000+

Quoting Tristan Olive's first reply (Feb. 25):
"At GridRepublic, we try to automatically merge these records based on the hostname so you don't have to start over with 0 points just because...

Thanks Matt, I logged in to the projects, and verified that they both have the new specs upto date (for hostname penguin, they show the Inter Core2 Quad rather than the AMD). The specs on GR still correspond to the old one, so I guess Tristan's fix did not work after all.

Well, at least I know that the is problem is probably not on my side. Thank you both for your help. Please let me know if there is anything more I can check/verify that would help fixing this problem.

p.s. I also have another host on my account, (hostname=uzi13) also Linux, dual-core Intel, which has been ticking happily, with correct specs (no hardware changes) the whole time. Do not know if it is relevant.

Sorry, but specs here (hostname=penguin) still say "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+" (old machine), whereas my client_status.xml says "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400" (new machine).

According to the messages log, there were some reports to SETI and resetta over the night. How can I check my specs there?

I appreciate your effort and responsiveness.

Well, did logout and login, checked again. Still shows the old specs...

Thanks.

For now I see no change (only the old specs are shown).

I verified that there were some result uploads over the night. Will check again sometime later.

What should I expect to find if it works fine? Would I see two computers with the same hostname (old one with the old points, and new one starting from 0 and accumulating the new credits) - this is what would be the most "correct" IMO,

or would it show only one entry with all the credits and the new specs?

Hi,

I have upgraded my hardware (completely new computer), but kept the old harddisk and software (note that this is Linux, so no need to reinstall the OS, just update the display driver via network). Hostname and all remained the same.

Problem is that my account manager (computers tab) keep showing the old specs (new progress in the projects keep adding up on the "old" computer - dual core amd, whereas the "real" computer has quad core intel).

I verified that the "client_state.xml" file on my computer contains the correct (new) cpu specs. I just do not know how to tell GR to reread the cpu-specs from my machine.

thanks,
