Looking at this project web sites estimated completion time, http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/CFSW/status.html , looks like about 11 weeks left. Sek, think this will get done sooner?

That website reflects batches that have been completed and returned to the researchers. It will necessarily lag behind work being distributed by a fair amount.

So, yes, available work will be done much sooner than their 11 week estimate which is probably fairly accurate as to when they will receive the last of the completed work.

Just curious... what happens if everyone loads up the full 10 days on their WU cache, and then underclocks their PC to half the speed. Potentially this will slow the completion rate, and get you 20 days of buffer?

takes me 2 months to reach the 2year mark on a project. I regret the year i put into cancer now. :( I could've gotten emerald in this but I thought i got plenty of time since it's such a new project. lesson learned...when new project comes, push into it first.

Returns are way way way behind result fetches. E.g. yesterday [top day week, Monday] 256,000 or 256 batches if 100% were ZR processed, which we know that is not happening. Divide by 1.2 and you get about 213 batches completed.

On the "we did not know". Facts:

1) The scientist said there was at least a year of work.
2) Some month or 2 later a 4 to 6 fold speed up of the application.

What would that have done to the "at least a year of work"?

Just saying, whilst this science continued to run on low priority in the hopper, very low in fact in CPU year terms. Think the techs realized what would have happened had they set it to "Normal" distribution, which was my "not gonna wait for that" thought to set me crunchers to run this science exclusively to completion of sapphire. That was Aug.21st, when the last were returned from my corner [completed and aborted] and not sit forever with one badge that is less that 3 days from gold... These days that's not even a morning crunch on the octo laptop [at 1/3rd the power consumption of the quad]. And to emphasize, you had exactly as much information as I had (zero insider). I'm of the "do today, so there's no tomorrows baggage to lug around" (a paraphrase). This one mattered more [because it is relatively easy with a long term effect, for large population groups]. Though, it's [just] a study... the politicians [not even mine] will just continue to sit on their hands no matter the scientific evidence [by direction of the "influencers" of the electorate]. You can override just a teeny when taking to the booth in the coming months by kicking the office holders out that make/push "interestee" legislation to continue watering down pollution controls [of any form]. You do know that the ocean dead zones keep growing, don't you ? [but that's for many NIMBY]
