The charts presented at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=18277 are great. Can you please provide a bit of explanation for number 21? and it appears that number 17 is missing.

Thanks, do them for fun.
----------------------------------------21. Is the days it takes for adding another 10,000 CPU years to the WCG cumulative. Last updated it was 41 days to take for the next one. Though the algo shows in my non-public files 42, humans have this 7th sense for trends, if they know the working of the data. Sticking to 41 thus, long as no more outages occur. If you can formulate better title, I'd be most happy to adopt. The missing chart 17 I lost. It was a milestone plot reaching the daily mean since start of WCG of 100 CPU years per day. That happened in April 2007. We're today on 134,80 CPU years average since beginning of WCG. Last week we broke through the predicted 1,700 CPU years in a week... 1,702 to be precise. That made it a daily average of 243.1, for the week. Anyway, chart 17 I'll substitute some time (shift). In March there's something new to plot.

Last week we broke through the predicted 1,700 CPU years in a week... 1,702 to be precise. That made it a daily average of 243.1, for the week. And last night we passed the bar of 5 billion points validated over 30 consecutive days. Precisely 5,082,122,569 points , i.e. an average 169,404,085 points per day during this period, more than the best achievement for a single day 3 months ago. A global Thank You to all WCG participants! Jean. |

Thanks, do them for fun. 21. Is the days it takes for adding another 10,000 CPU years to the WCG cumulative. Thank you for making this clear for me, it was the WCG Cumulative I did not understand. I think moving the legend to the bottom (like your other charts) and maybe adding a note that the milestones are the days between each 10K increment. I mention this because your other charts have the x and y data elements in linear increments but this one is much different. Anyway, chart 17 I'll substitute some time (shift). In March there's something new to plot. I saw the MD2 chart ... do you mean yet another? What software are you using to generate the charts? |

It's a new performance chart alright.

It's a new performance chart alright. Careful... you might have started a "March Chart" thread, which could evolve into yet another GPU thread.Using Excel 2007 for a number of reasons, gloss for one. Despite that admission, we still respect you. And thanks for the charts. You might make the charts just for fun, but I've used them to help recruit a few new WCG crunchers who wanted to know if WCG was "for real". The charts work much better than raw numbers for most people. - D |

The good BOINC client as basis is still so far away... reading of folk switching off to not get GPU work and still getting it pushed down the esophagus. ... but let's not get this thread too get derailed with GPU garb. If the charts did the trick, great. My bank account is ...

Would you mind sharing a little about your process? How are you collecting the data, storing it, update charts? Not the deep technical details, just the basic overview. Are you doing this all in Excel?

It's almost completely automated after my last escapade into VBA coding. Scripts fetch the morning and afternoon daily statistics pages and a series of formula chew the numbers in the right format and insert the record into a flat db. Some tests ensure that the full day record plus prior day cumulative matches the project running total.
----------------------------------------Excel Querying is very good at allowing to pick the webpage sections you want without pulling in all the dressing, so when nelsoc changes that, it wont impact the data fetch. A test is applied to see if the stats did actually update, so it wont run again until next update as to prevent double entry of a day record. The midday record is extrapolated to full day taking the "spill" into account, so afternoon charts show a full day estimated production, if time to post. The only thing I've not gone into yet is automating the delete of the old charts from photobucket before uploading the fresh. They don't have an option to "overwrite", yet. The bulk upload feature does the rest. Sort of 2 minutes a day. Maybe one day I'll create a webpage instead to end that. February 20 and the hits on the folder have surpassed 35,000... awesome, implying there are a good bunch of folk looking at them, maybe just a few all the time ;D
