I'm using boinc two months already.
I've read the webpage, searched the forum. My pc receives and sends data on projects, but nowhere seems to appear how much of the project is finished. In percentage, or years... So, I have a feeling I am filling a bottomless glass with water. We can calculate on some project forever, until its administration decides to claim it complete. Maybe I didnt get it right? Please, explain. Mr. Yankov Bulgaria (Europe) |

Look for a recent post in the forum by a community adviser SekeRob.
Near the bottom of the post there is a line 'WCG charts, Progress'. Follow the link to lots of data. The information is unofficial but is widely used and is the best available to us. |

You will have the most accurate information at this place: WCG Supplemental Performance Charts.
----------------------------------------SekeRob prepares and provides regularly a lot of statistical figures and extensive reporting about progress, contribution and much more ! ... Cheers, Yves --- PS: At this place: warm thanks to SekeRob for this amazing work ![]() |

So, I have a feeling I am filling a bottomless glass with water. Mr Yarkov, Welcome to WCG and to their forum!We can calculate on some project forever, until its administration decides to claim it complete. Maybe I didnt get it right? Please, explain. Out of the 10 projects currently distributed by WCG there are 3 which are more or less in their last month (HCMD2, HCC and HFCC) and 2 which are (unofficially) "open": HPF2 and FAAH. The other 5 (like the 3 which are about to end, of course!) have a known amount of work to do, and if their respective labs decided to ask WCG's support for other research that would probably be under a new title (or the same with a "phase x" in the name). FAAH scientists organize their work in experiments and with help of the results of previous experiments they will (fortunately) imagine new experiments which will be added in the project until this disease has a satisfactory cure or, one can dream, can be virtually eliminated as some other infectious ones have been in the past. HPF2 is building an enormous knowledge base about how molecules react with others. Organizing such research is itself an enormous work, and periodically their scientists add a new set of WUs for a new molecule of particular interest for Research in general. Research is endless, but the work that scientists are doing in their labs is organized in clearly identified stages. Note: If you dig in the Research section of this website you will find much information about each project and where their respective scientists stand. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by JmBoullier at Jan 28, 2012 10:36:25 AM] |

1. Yves, thank you very much for the link. I saw the charts. The first one answers my question. The info is from 28Jan, very fresh. I will keep checking that post of Sekerob
2. JmBoullier: now I get it better. Sometimes researchers/scientists add new calculations, so its not always clear when a project ends. I am a process engineer, and often have situations, when I need to change direction, and throw away all my past results. Since both of your names seem french, Bonjour and thanks again! |
