Well, since you've been with WCG since near the beginning, you'll recall that WCG did not originally support BOINC. When BOINC support was added, the final result of the "how do we convert BOINC credits to UD points" ended up as "multiply by 7". In today's DC world, BOINC credits are the Euros and WCG points are Lira. Many of the statistic sites around the world report only BOINC credits so all the points everyone here at WCG earned running UD aren't included and the statistic sites present a distorted picture for WCG users and teams. With UD dead now, WCG is BOINC only but still using points. We're Lira in a Euro world. Since one BOINC credit is equal to seven points, the reverse is true as well. Seven points equal one credit. By dividing existing WCG points by seven, WCG is simply converting its "currency" from Lira to Euros. For the many statistic sites around the world, our non-BOINC work here will finally be properly reflected in their numbers. Points are a relic of our past now.

First sign that we got there - when CPDN refreshes, they might have their 3rd place glory for a bit longer

So, when will all this happen ("the sync up")?

I have noticed that the overall WCG stats have been kinda low these past two days (maybe it's just because this time of the year when many take "Holidays/Vacations". Or maybe it's the heat of this Summer. I hope that folks will have patience and keep on crunching. Inquiring minds want to know.

But, with WCG when any one sub-project is slow or interrupted, the others will pick up, so e.g. RICE broke a record yesterday with almost 46 CPU years. AND the monster FAAH started to get into the validation range and HCC picked up a fair bit extra and finally the triple copy DDDT (to speed up validation) added 20,000 units in afternoon session validation on Sunday. About HPF2, well they've been building momentum since the UD agent discontinuation and gradually been returning back to their marathon run pace following the typical week cycle. So the end result was that Sunday at 176 CPU Years for a hi summer (except the UK), was a good day compensating for the 'low'(er) on Friday/Saturday

And do feel free to analyze and spin it around.

Johnny,
I am sorry, I was serious. I read here or there about the techs working on preliminary operations necessary for making this jump, but nothing more. I leave it to them to say more if they already have a firm date.
And I perfectly understand that some people/sites are anxious to know how and when it will happen.

Regarding the low stats of the week end I am glad that yesterday's figures and today's on BoincStats too confirmed that it was essentially due to the distribution problems and to the longer duration of FAAH WUs. I hope it will go on that way, or even improve when the new DDDT WUs start to flow (today or tomorrow).

Cheers. Jean.
