Always glad to help with a new project on WCG. Any project that the team accepts onto the grid must be a worthwhile humanitarian project, so that's all I need to know to be happy to share my compute resources with you.
Good luck with your work. |

We generally don't like giving out a lot of information about length of projects or estimated runtime as the grid is dynamic and many things can happen between now and the initial estimate. Work units will be flowing at a constant rate and get equal share, that is the plan at the moment. How many total batches, lets say plenty. I think we can live with that. at some point a (unofficial) point was made suggesting 1M ZR WU which might take 4-6 weeks to put through WCG. By saying 'plenty' it suggests at least 3 months work which is all I really wanted to know, and therefore should have been my original question. Sorry.Also, since this is a new application and application version number, every host is considered unreliable until they send back some valid results. This project is also going to be a zero redundancy project when things get flowing and hosts start getting validated. Great info. Thanks Uplinger |

Considering the amount of work needed to launch a new project, one of WCG's criteria to accept a new project is that its estimated duration under normal circumstances be at least six months. |

All I can add to this is that the website regarding this project stated there was 1.3 million experiments (not WUs), and they predicted less than a year if I'm not mistaken. Again, this is what their estimate was (NOT WCG's).
----------------------------------------EDIT: Which is why I'm going to throw a lil bit more of my CPUs towards this project to make sure I get that sapphire  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Apr 17, 2012 6:07:14 PM] |

A new projet in cpu... it's good.
----------------------------------------But none project in gpu. So, why gpu beta tests ???

Thanks for the new project. Have my PC just running CFSW for now. I hope when things calm down, that the researchers could post a more detailed description of how their modelling simulations work (and is it homegrown software, or a modified off the shelf version)
I'm always excited when a new project hit the grid, and personally, I prefer seeing as many projects as possible running at a time. |
