ry99, is it possible for you to provide some kind of naming convention so that we've got a rough idea as to how we're doing?

We're all keen on seeing progress on this (and all) projects run on WCG, and thus, if we've got an idea as to the progress without having to be pestering the scientists all the time, that'd really be appreciated

With the 1000 Runtime years milestone scaled, and the project running mostly in Zero redundant state (init distro 1), we can do a stab at the effective efficiency.

1) 1,968,624 results validated
2) My last validated CFSW as of last night: cfsw_1537_01537120_0

Assuming a linear numbering system, than 1,968,624 / 1,537,120 gives approximately 1.28 copies circulated for each task (verifiers, repairs etc). That number I'd expect to improve whilst more and more devices reach the "do it alone" state on a regular basis. (Always last 5 sequential must have ended with a ''valid'' status. If called to task to act as wingman [the suffix _1 and up copies], then those too of course add to the continuous valid series (duh).

Naturally, there's progress at the scientist side (what complete batches they have received from WCG), and what we're real time crunching, so if GPL UVa gives a percent progress, it wont be the real state of crunching. We'd need batch numbers to go with that number to extrapolate.

At any rate, assuming from 1537120 going all the way to 99999999 at 1.28, there would be 12.9 million tasks to crunch. There is that lone 0 at the front though with which more scenarios can be developed. Presume there to be a ''what did we learn so far, what other inputs, how does global warming and the 7% per 1 degree Celsius (compound) of increased vapor cycle translate in change of precipitation patterns... cleaner air / filthier air, more / less micro dust (from exhaust fumes) etc etc), water table elevation change. Think those need all to be taken into account, and at least be assessed if significant players, as all watersheds have the different atmospheric content and circulation. ;D

edit: No attempt at sophisticated extrapolation was done to get to total or efficiency... ballpark ;>)
