We're definitely not interesting in a GIGO process. When the scientists are satisfied that the next batch set meets requirements they will be released, so please be patient.

Ah yes... in my world it's SISO...

Thanks...

With phase 1 (if I remember correctly), all the WU's could be generated with not much human intervention, whilst for phase 2, there's a LOT MORE human intervention required - basically due to each preceeding phase having to be checked/verified before the results can be used to generate the next phase. After all, we don't want WU's to be processed if they've not been checked/verified to ensure that they're using the correct input data (i.e., Garbage In = Garbage Out). The result of this (unfortunately), is that there isn't a steady flow of WU's to crunch.

It's beyond me what's so hard in all of this, fetching work, understanding the scope et cetera, which is published in a forum sticky: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,28528 . This project encompasses over 22.3 million tasks off from some 18 targets. So far we've done 4,152 million [mostly benchmarking at that]. At some point in time everyone sane will get bored by the rain dance hallelujahs, at which time no buckets are in need to get any. Jokingly, someone computed an anticipated EOP of the year 2031. That's how long at this pace the rest will take. By that time I might be the longest time active cruncher on the planet, that is, if grid computing has not become very old news.

edit: With the last rain had 934 valid results and that was with 2.5 devices. This set was good for 120 CPU days.
