Thanks for the explanation, Uplinger.

So the way I see it we have 5000 threads each with about 200 iterations so that will be about 100,000 total work units. With the recent average of about 1200 WUs per year of runtime that should translate into about 80 years of runtime.

Do I have that about right?

Actual numbers speak to different means... 1st day 12.689 units, not 5000, for 8:224 years or near 1500 per computing year. The computer mix keeps getting stronger.

The first generation we send out all at one time. This means we sent out 10k. Most of those came back within the first 24 hours. We were able to send back some of second generations out and got those back within that first day. We will see at most 5k on the grid at one time. BUT, that does not mean we will have 5k results per day....if someone returns a result it gets put on the wubq and one gets popped off after processing for the next generation. If someone is able to complete a work unit within 6 hours, and next generation gets completed within the remaining 18 hours of the day, then we would show 2 in one day. My guess is, we will see an average of about 7k results completed per day...that is only a guess though, it'll vary per day.

I hope this helps explain some of the numbers you have seen.

Crystal Pellet,

You would be correct. As you can see with something this early, we already have some in generation 5.
