I had to reboot one of my computers after installing a driver and it happened to be just shortly after a trickle had been submitted. Apparently when it returned to working on the run again, it crossed that \'trickle point\' again.

The host ID is hostid=12129

Here\'s the trickles:

I took the time to \'exit\' the BOINC client rather than having the OS call for it to shut down, since I was under the impression that this would assure that the run would save at the point it was at. Looks like it instead went back to a checkpoint that was just prior to the trickle.

Your honesty is admirable, but there's no need to worry about being given too many credits. Credits are only assigned the first time the run passes a trickle point.

Checkpointing is done every 144 timesteps (3 model days) and they don't coincide with the 10802 timestep trickle points.

Okay then. :) Just wanted to make sure on that.

Thanks for the quick response, Thyme. :)

Makes me feel sorry for folks that have to reboot or turn their computers off more often than I... they must lose a lot of time over the span of a CPDN run. :(

yes its possible the trickle got sent again. but you don't get additional credit.
Did the math and it works out correct

Eeeep, Tolu, you're making me feel bad! Its obvious from my question that I was too darn lazy to add up the credits myself and then you went and did it. ;)

Ah well, thanks for letting me know for sure! :)
