With the New project Nutritious Rice For the World launched today we just passed the 160,000 CPU year mark and goeing ever faster in a decreasing number of days it takes to accumulate the next 10k Runtime increment.
The Runtime reported used to be All Wallclock time when starting out with the now almost 'RIP' UD agent. Many 'Ran' throttled even at 25% CPU utilisation reporting 100% Run time 24/7.

Now it is nearly all pure CPU time, so if a computer crunches 25% of it's available CPU cycles in a day, it will report 6 hours. Thus, please don't read anything into that 1 extra day for the last 10k.... there were quite a few science application changes e.g. requiring projects to be slowed down near halting.

Seasonally corrected back to wallclock time it would surely have been 47 or 46. But, as the number of days shrinks to take those 10k steps, we might have to put it in day segment counts to avoid the 'growth is flat' image With summer approaching things will again slow as colleges take a break, the UK gets their 2 weeks vacation and the old continent their 3 months (Sogno D'Oro, gold diggers dream of course)

World Community Grid appreciates every cycle, be it from 1 minute, 1 hour or 24 hours a day of volunteer computing. Sometimes a bit faster, sometimes a bit slower.

Now the point of this post: Predict the number of days it takes to the next 10,000 milestone at 170,000. It took 189 days when starting out on Nove.16, 2004. Last we had 48 and 49 days. Will it be 49 again, 48, 50? Give it ago and predict the pulse rate of WCG:

My bet: 47 days, from the CA fool on the Colli Italia
