Awesome! I've managed to do the same thing here and there, I can't think of a better way to stress test.
I hate giving them up to production though, seems like such a waste...
Cheers!

100% agree! Except them going in to production is what pays the bills and means I get more hardware, so... haha :)

Going so fast, milestones can hardly be recorded... 500,000 WU's validated was this morning's one, but we've already done over 548,000 as of noon.... cracking on for the first million, of maybe hundreds.

Excellent

Sekerob, I'm not as excited as you when it comes to the speed on this project. It can be so much better. I'm sure that there exists enough PC's in my country (Norway, population 5 mill) to complete C4CW within 24h. I can't understand why so many people are reluctant to contribute. I think it's mainly because WCG is a relatively new phenomenon and not understood by to many. Then many people only think about themselves and don't see how they can contribute. Finally, if you consider the demographics of contributors there's mostly young males. People who are literate when it comes to computers. WCG should have access to enormous computing capacities.

Depends, this research had ZERO advertising. For those who don't have auto-opt in on, only those members that look into their Device profile or My Projects section or peruse the forums is it obvious that there's a new science. Monday is world water day and then the PR attack begins, mails, front page, reminders etc. Then the other 500,000 active and dormant members will be informed too. So, low key we've hit 250 CPU years, competing against 7 other active sciences.

As for excitement, well Thomas is Norwegian... my blood has lots of Mediterranean and even some Middle Eastern in it :P
