Has anyone else noticed that their RAC has benn dropping steadily since the middle of last month. On January 16, 2015 my RAC was at about 9600. Now it is at 6800 despite the fact that I am still running the same number of tasks on the same machines.

Hi Jim

My RAC is the opposite: it's been climbing steadily all that time.

Let's see:
"the same number of tasks" isn't the same as "the same task names going past lots of trickle points." (Something in a loop?)

Also, your mix of cpdn and other projects may have changed. (Actual amount of time the computer spends on cpdn, as against the others.)

I've only run the W@H2, and ANZ models for some time, but I think that applies to most people anyway.

All I am running at the moment is CPDN. Will have to look into the running models to see if any of them are looping. Could the WaH2�s still be under compensated?

JIM,

It's probably because you were running a bunch of the Africa models. Let's just say they are generous with credits per model run time.
