In the project description, we can read " This work consists of 9 million virtual chemistry experiments" and at the same time in the project statistics , you see than 9 829 854 (right now) calculation has been performed.
How many results should be return for this project ? What is the link between the "virtual chemistry experiments" and the results returned ? I also noticed than in the project website the progress is still at 12% and do not change for a long time ... ( http://www.m.chiba-u.ac.jp/class/bioinfor/wcg/e/hfcc_e/news.html ) |

By my calculations we are roughly at 18 percent of work completed at WCG. The progress website only reports what the scientists have acknowledged as received.
----------------------------------------Work in not a specific number of work units. Work is currently cut so that jobs are running around 7 hours, but that said work duration has been dropping probably because ever more powerful computers are contributing. Overall think there is something like 30,000+ CPU years left to do. All depends on the power development of the volunteers' devices.

Sekerob,
What is the speed of the processor that the 30,000+ CPU years is based off of? Thanks, Adam |

adamgreb,
----------------------------------------It's a simple extrapolation of reported progress and CPU years so far contributed. Today it's about 28,500 CPU years to do, some margin for error. Someone came in temporarily with a big / fast cluster to shrink the time ;D

adamgreb, ... Someone came in temporarily with a big / fast cluster to shrink the time ;D Heh. I have 144 cores in two racks at my disposal for the next month or so. However, the enclosures use chilled water heat exchangers for cooling, and we ain't got no chilled water! We did some burn-in testing with the enclosure doors open and overran the available air conditioning for the room within a few hours. Bummer to have to miss the opportunity to seriously crunch some work units. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Nov 17, 2009 3:12:24 PM] |

so are those 144 cores ready now?

I'm extremely jealous! If someone let me near that kind of equiptment, i would ruin it on account of my drooling! I recently got a netfinity server with one core that I can upgrade to two (733mhz) cores, i just need to buy a VRM. How much would a 150 core + setup cost me?
