i'm seeing Many other projects showing up in my installations that are supposed to only do CEP2 work I'd like to know how we're doing.

Okay found the problem. seems this profile (customized for my linux installs) grabbed preferences from the default profile.. Anyway..
Can you show me how you know there is a lot more left to do? i want to make sure i can get a Sapphire on this project. (i'm all in here at a rate of 2 days per day) |

yes i know 2days/day is a bit weak but, I should be getting some free computers from Goodwill soon to run these projects on :)

Just think skwiggs, that is 48 hours of compute time that the researchers dont have to wait on each day or that someone else has to crunch. Every little bit helps. I'd like to see how sek gets all his stats as well, but he has been around a while. He keeps a chart updated so you can see whats going on:

Can you show me how you know there is a lot more left to do? i want to make sure i can get a Sapphire on this project. (i'm all in here at a rate of 2 days per day) Let's do some math. (Hope they are correct  )The Chart from Sek mentions 0.18% done up to now. The projet stats say that 253 years and 117 days (253.32) have been consumed up to now. This means that the total projects CPU time is estimated at 1407.33 cpu years. The grid's daily rate is 3 years and 288 days (3.79). This means that at current rate we have still 304.48 days left in front of us or just over one year. At your current rate of 2 cpu days per day, and if nothing changes you will just make it to sapphire. Nevertheless the risk is high that as more crunchers come in and the Windows version becomes available, the project timeframe shrinks very quickly.  On the positive side it often happened that projects have lasted much longer as times goes by. See HFCC that was finished and has restarted with a large number of additionsl WU flowing to us. Scientist find new things to try and additional work come up. Maybe with the Windows version there will be a new chunk of WUs coming together. So I believe that you will make it in the end.  Adding a little bit of crunching power is also a way to improve your sapphire chances.   [Edit 1 times, last edit by Hypernova at Sep 2, 2010 9:54:54 AM] |

The percent, which (oh embarrassment) prints with the decimal 2 places off i.e. should read 18.1% and is a function of time, which is plugged in currently as 1 year from launch absent any form of authoritative prognoses of volume and work production speed. As it's Linux limited presently, there essentially is no limit to the amount to fetch.
----------------------------------------As for volume, think it's at least equal to the CEP1 phase of 2,100 years. Given that it is a pure opt-in for more powerful machines (at the performance comment by armstrdj hinting it wont be less than for Linux), don't think the production will reach a very significant number whence it reaches the Windows platform. Lots of thinking, but no real knowing ;>)

I run Linux and Windows myself but many of the Windows XP machines are 500 Meg memory of less so recently they don't get WU from all the projects. Is there any breakdown on % of machines that run Win/Linux/Mac/other OS, not factoring in the fact that some of the projects have higher memory demands/opt in/ etc.? Reading in here some would seem to predict a huge increase in WU's crunched when Windows version becomes available.

You can see a breakdowns over at BOINCStats.
