... A new âWaterâ project called "Computing for Sustainable Water" is set to be launched on WCG on April 16th. I will be curious to see how the lunch of this new project will affect C4CW. I guess time will tell ... I, for one, welcome the hat-trick of planned water-related projects. There are numerous other aspects of water that could be studied, e.g., consequences of dam failures (I suppose you know that Glen Canyon Dam nearly suffered catastrophic failure -- which would surely have caused failure of all downstream dams to Mexico -- including Hoover. What would that portend for the southwestern quarter of the US?) I doubt I could care less about credits, badges, et al, but I do care about contributing my bit to make a better world for my grandkids and recently-born great-granddaughter. I was, decades ago, a weather forecaster, and have been, since the original Beta, a heavy participant in CPDN. It all fits together. (My page tells me I have 8+ years for C4CW; there will be more, both here and for other "water".) Bring on water projects! Wars will be fought over water, once myopic single-issue plutocrats get off their oil-kick. [Edited for typo.] [Edit 1 times, last edit by astroWX at Apr 6, 2012 11:25:19 PM] |

On March 5th we had 174 days left, and today we have 141 days left (per Sekerob’s chart ). A new “Water” project called "Computing for Sustainable Water" is set to be launched on WCG on April 16th. I will be curious to see how the lunch of this new project will affect C4CW. I guess time will tell. Information on the new project can be found at: http://faculty.virginia.edu/CSML/projects.html Computing for Sustainable Water The Computing for Sustainable Water (CFSW) project is one of three water-related projects selected to run on the IBM World Community Grid. This project evolved from the UVa Bay Game as a very detailed, simulation-only model of the Chesapeake Bay. Not a game, the CFSW model simulates over 34,000 spatial areas; 1,069 river and stream segments; and 4 million households over a 20-year period on a monthly basis. The model explores the potential outcomes of various practices ("Best Management Practices") on the nutrient loads reaching and impacting Bay health. The CFSW project will launch publicly on April 16, 2012 and will be available for execution on the World Community Grid, a network of nearly 2 million contributed computers. The model runs in the background of these volunteered computers using otherwise idle cycles and not interfering with the owner's applications. There will be over 1.3 million experiments distributed to computers on the World Community Grid, each requiring approximately 7 hours of computing time. If this work were done on the UVa Cross-Campus Computing Grid (XCG), it would take about 90 years to complete; with the power of the IBM World Community Grid, it will require less than one year. Collaborators: Jeffrey Plank Ph.D., David Smith Ph.D., Mark White Ph.D., William Sherman M.F.A. Graduate student: Ryan Bobko I'll be there!  crunching, crunching, crunching.

Common sense and smartness are the two qualities useful for a good management...... but, we can't learn it. I am graduated in emergency management.
I keep my computer on C4CW which is from my part far more important !!!!! 3 days before my silver badge !!!!!! |

Well... Sekerob's dashboard is showing that C4CW has 126 days left. I currently have 120 days for this project (need 60 crunching days to make it to ruby). Right now, I have all my CPUs crunching on three projects:
----------------------------------------- Turn C4CW to ruby (have 120 days) - Turn HCC to ruby (have 112 days) - Turn HFCC to ruby (have 130 days) I guessing that I will make it to ruby first for C4CW. Once that is done then I will focus my CPU resources to the project that is closest to ruby and so on. So.... gotta keep crunching  CJSL |

CJSL, we have the same hert projects !!!! C4CW, HFCC and I have 5 days on HCC ......
but now, i think DSFL need help ..... |

I need another month for the blue badge on this, then about 2 months for HFCC and then I'm good to crunch for everything to blue for the next year.
----------------------------------------I hope it works... edit: HCC scares me with the 4 minute gpu units. I hope it doesnt go from 500 days to like 100. that'll hurt my blue badge.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Robokapp at Apr 22, 2012 1:07:51 PM] |

Yeap... I hear ya... I'm in the same position with HCC. I currently have HCC running on an old PC (P4 I think), so the output of WUs is constant but not abundant

126 days isn't very many. I seem to recall we were never given exact info on the number of workunits/targets for this project. So Sekerob's estimate is based on on calendar projections of how long the project might last.
----------------------------------------Sek, or others, any thoughts as to how accurate the 126 days number is?  |

Looks like we are processing 3 days of work for every 24 hours. Of cause this will always be changing. At 3 days per 24 hours we will be finished in 40.6 days. That means it will end on 3/6/12 2/6/12 if you in the US  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Speedy51 at Apr 24, 2012 10:00:52 PM] |

No, we're still processing at a rate of one day per 24 hours. SekeRob's projected date for the end of C4CW has been around 24th August (or perhaps the 25th) for quite a while now. I'm watching these numbers closely as well since I'd like a Ruby badge for C4CW and would like to avoid a nasty surprise.
---------------------------------------- [The explanation for the 126 days is simply that at the time of writing about them they were old data because SekeRob's Dashboard hadn't been updated for two or three days.] -- MW  |
