That was no fluke. I checked other computers and they're doing it as well.

Very interesting have a new Project to colaborate, but in this case the tasks are very rare, and have a strange schedule in its distribution.
I have several machines in random fetch asking for new tasks of African Climate and since de day of start don1t get anyone after the start day. Could you please Professor, ask for the WCG change the way of distribution putting a randomic distribution during teh 24 hours of the day, for this Project. This simple change could improve the number of entusiasta to help the Project today or in the future, once will provide mnore equity in the distribution criterias which today appear be based on specific times. Think about please. This idea have the pótential to help much more your Project.      |

IBM: When will you run at full speed??? IBM will run at full speed when they feel the time is right not before this or not after this  |

We are hopeful that the limitation on the speed of this project will cause this to be a non issue in the future. I'll look into randomizing the release, no promises as it'll need to be something simple to change since I hope we can run more at a time in the future. (Note: I do not have an eta on when that future is) Thanks, -Uplinger |

IBM: When will you run at full speed??? IBM will run at full speed when they feel the time is right not before this or not after this I appreciate the friendly sarcasm. The reality is, we would love to run this at full speed as well. With this project being a beast, it takes a lot to make sure things are processing properly. We are making sure our hosting can handle it with the current setup or if major updates are required to support it. We are also working with the researchers to make sure the data get put in the proper location for result analysis. I had an estimate from early on in this project that we would exceed 1 PByte of data for the scope it is now. Storing this information for say 10 years is not cheap as you need replication to prevent data loss. Also this information needs to be easily and quickly accessed for analysis. Until some of this is fully resolved, we are processing at the current speed with incremental updates as World Community Grid confirms we don't need to upgrade anything. Thanks, -Uplinger |

Thanks, -Uplinger If the result storage is such a burden why is this not shared by grid members as well. There are credible products like this to share the data in segments with high reliability. https://www.tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs Regards CB

If the result storage is such a burden why is this not shared by grid members as well. Or they could store it in the available RAM in smart refrigerators worldwide. |
