smile Server status?

HI,
why is there no indicator, of how many WUs are available for any given project?
WCG seems to be quite different to other boinc projects.
If there is a server status page, please let me know, where to find it.
regards

Re: Server status?

Hi Rasputin42,

Firstly, welcome to the forum's biggrin

With regards to your query, the simple answer is no - basically because no one knows exactly. Yes, the scientists themselves will have a very good idea, but as to how many WU's that will actually result in (the WCG techs try to create an average WU length of around 7 hrs), no one really knows. Also, a lot depends on how many resends there are etc. Another curve-ball, is that projects can (and quite often do), have extra tests added - e.g., HPF2/HFCC/FA@H to name just 3.

What I'd recommend, is to have a look at some statistics Sekerob has pulled together so as to give a very rough ESTIMATE of each project's progress. These are based on the number of WU's crunched and the likely number/date each project is currently targeted to end. Obviously, these dates ARE an ESTIMATE, and things CAN and DO change (for instance, if a new project comes on board, that'll have a knock-on effect).

The statistics can be found in the FAQ's, Sekerob's signature, and for your convenience, here -> WCG Supplemental Performance Charts - 1 . Enjoy cool
