What if - World Community Grid would continue sending out work, especially GPU Workunits at the level seen during the stress test?
Would WCG infrastructure break down? - Probably not, as it did not break down during the test.
Would only the COVIC project be super fast and the other projects would be slowed down? - Probably not, because as far as I know, this did not happen during the test.
Would the COVID project end earlier? Certainly yes, because more work units would be processed/crunched.
What would happen on the researchers' side? - They would receive data ready for analyis earlier.

Folks, I do not see any minuses. Do you see/know any?

Thanks for your answers in advance. Maybe they help to end the COVID Project much faster......

All the best.

Researchers need to set new targets before that could happen, probably they are still overwhelmed by the analysis of the big data we created in the previous stress-test.

The fact that there has been no update probably means that WCG is out of the loop, and the scientists are doing their own thing. That is probably inevitable in a large project, but I wonder about the coordination going forward.

Perhaps the monthly update will contain some of the info you're looking for?
