Congratulations WCG on Watson's donation

This ( http://www.hpcwire.com/topic/middleware/In-Wa...ockets-700-116476438.html) was posted here ( http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6389 ) first, but didn't think everyone would see it. If somebody else posted in another section of the forums already, I apologize. I didn't see it anywhere. This seems like a pretty nice sized donation that is much needed.

Re: Congratulations WCG on Watson's donation

Great stuff, but whoever put that article together or was feeding information on the grid's performance was kind of running on 6 month old data:

* Receives seven almost eight computational results from volunteers' PCs every second of the day -- 500,000,000 606,000,000 in all since World Community Grid started six years ago.
* Has performed computations for the equivalent of 392,000 438,000 years.
* Has yielded 31 scientific, peer-reviewed published papers.
* Performs computation for projects run by academic and research organizations on nearly every continent.
* Consumes only three extra watts of power on the average computer -- less than half used by a seven-watt nightlight.
* Performs 400 510 trillion floating-point operations per second.

510 TeraFlops is the present 21 day mean.

I'd be interested to see an updated list of those 31 papers. See 25, here http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/re...amp;sortBy=&pageNum=3 to include presentations.

The malaria selection is interesting, just from this not clear if it's the research that Dr. Perryman was talking about as a future grid project.
