Pending the wave of validations anticipated this afternoon, DSFL zoomed straight to 8th spot in the production rankings:
If anyone is interested, I might do some sparklines [mini graph] on the right side, so all can see how their fav project is doing over time (still missing item on the dashboard). Predicting 5th spot at least before Monday next week (not hard to get over rank 6 ;>) --//-- |

The current number of targets is 5353 and there are 58 batches per a target (0-57). The number of work units in a batch can vary, but will likely be around 1000. That is, taking each WU lasts 6 hours, 5353*58*1000*6*2 (quorum) = 3725688000 hours = 425015 CPU years. Adding 6% on errors and timeouts, we get ~450515 CPU years, which is 450515/345 = 1305 WCG-days on full-speed if there was only 1 project About 1 day in production mode now, and finished almost one target (DSFL_ 00000001_ 0000052_ 0594_ 0-- was the latest I got). One target per day. Way too early for a prediction yet, I know, but at one target per day it would roughly take 5353 days to completion. Close to 15 years that is, and pretty much in line with rilian's calculation, since we have a variety of projects. So we need to speed up by a factor of 15 to make it within one year. Regards, Martin  |

Following on from what you say, Sekerob, I have a question that I cannot answer because I don't know the variables, but...
----------------------------------------If all the people who have thrown themselves into this project are motivated purely by the aim of getting another badge and have no intention to stick with the project til the end, how great an impact in popularity would it have on this project? I know it is impossible to answer with any degree of certainty (too many unknowns). I suppose what I am really wondering is if there are any noticeable trends in past new projects.  Crunching in memory of my Mum PEGGY, cousin ROPPA and Aunt AUDREY. |

What martin64 is doing now is to me Bild Zeitung stuff... not to say that he can't have his calculus fun. We've done these similar extrapolations on HCC and HCMD2... they'd be going forever and ever, and they are both not far from completion on the quantified work we know. Let's wait a week or 2 for the balancing act to work itself out. And 6 hours target for the moment prints as 4.98 hours mean on the first 2500 validated results... 16.67% done ;P
The badge hunting gives the project a little boost at the start, but once the flow starts to reach the 'pool' crunchers, DSFL will get over time it's fair share. Look at the WCGYPM chart which has a CPU year table underneath for the past 12 months, to see the divisions. The WCGPI1/Dashboard currently shows last month. The full availability projects do about 2000 years a month and we're only getting out of the summer holiday, heatwave subsiding [not everywhere] period. --//-- P.S. If it were really 450,000 years, I'm not so sure WCG would have boarded this. It would be 3.2 times what we've contributed to FAAH in the past 6 years. Who knows [would there be a long range (get's kevlar out) xxx plan, but absolute nothing at all heard on this, nada, nothing] |

The last time I checked I have 36 DSFL WUs and these won't be run until all of the HCC WUs on each machine have completed. But then, I have 2 quads and 2 duos (12 cores) which will be working exclusively on this project.
----------------------------------------I have a question. If I were to say Leishmaniasis to someone, how would I say it? What would I expect hear if someone said it? #### P.S. I intend to run this project exclusively until I reach two years of run time and, at that point, I will add HCC back in if there is any work left to be completed.

I have DSFL mixing with HFCC now, and have at least a day's worth of valid results. What a surprise to see this pop up on my machines this morning! Now I know what those Betas were for. No errors on either machine so far.

Still on the exponential growth curve, the project is most likely to receive 30 years+ from the computational biology volunteer contributors. [See the Crunching Chart thread in this forum on how total results completed leaps forward]
\0/ --//-- P.S. uplinger et al are getting towards their 6 hours target. 5.54 hours mean for the morning results (+/-23,500) |

What martin64 is doing now is to me Bild Zeitung stuff... not to say that he can't have his calculus fun. Just simple math, not fiction stories as you suggest. Unfortunately, the math is still the same after day 2 of the project: roughly 2 days of crunching, and 2 targets distributed. I guess you would agree that we need to speed up the target rate by a factor of 15 to meet the one year target... Regards, Martin |
