No, we can't be specific.

Well, we could - but then we wouldn't be accurate.

Instead of relying on a misleading percentage figure, keep up with the progress here: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~juris/WCG/wcg-hcc.html

Our most recent estimate is that the project has work until 2013.

This estimate will change.

I seem to recall that there will be 80,000,000 workunits to crunch. Each one needs to be done twice. 160,000,000 results. We have done 31,000,000. I think we average about 60,000 a day. At the current rate that would be about 1050 more days or so, about 3 to 3 1/2 years worth. So I would think Didactylos is pretty much on the mark. This is just off the top of my head figuring so if anyone wants to correct this or make it more accurate, please do so.

Cheers

With positive thinking, not that our computers will get better and grow, so will the number of overall project (last I saw was 10 for this year) running on WCG so our computers will be busy crunching lots of different projects.

If you want to see where the specific numeric pointers are heading for HCC, follow the project performance chart: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=18662.

The average job run time creeping down indicates a mean increase in computing power. After the initial hick-ups, the average settled on 7 hours / task and now we're hitting the 6 hour mark, which happens to be a target that WCG has also set for FAAH, DDDT and RICE. I can't remember an announcement on re-cut of HPF2, but their average fell too... which could also be indicating a different experiment. See http://tinyurl.com/WCGART
