With your support together we have delivered 201 potential crunchers to the front door of the World Community Grid this month
---------------------------------------- The pages at http://www.wcgwiki.org have been seen by people in 49 Countries from around the globe Italy United Kingdom United States China Sweden Australia Canada Switzerland Japan Germany Slovenia Netherlands France Spain Ireland Croatia Belgium Norway Thailand Taiwan Hong Kong San Marino Finland Turkey Brazil Austria New Zealand Philippines Denmark Greece Saudi Arabia Portugal Korea, Republic of Russian Federation Poland Bulgaria Czechia Singapore Malaysia Mauritius Israel India Peru Ukraine Romania Indonesia Mongolia Aruba Slovakia The Einstein Logo has been seen 493 times in September The copyright protected WCG Logo was seen 6,087 times (Sorry IBM  ) and the new WCG Bar logo 13,355 times during last month  The browser breakdown makes interesting reading  with that blue wedge being the largest and Bills stranglehold on the PC market can be seen below  There are now 29 of us promoting the World Community Grid on our Websites Blogs and Forums we could use some extra help to get the word out there about this great project Our WCG Promoter of the month prize goes to =PiA= with a whopping 79 Click throughs to the WCG Website this month. Thanks =PiA= (Sorry no prize =Pia= just the admiration of 223,272 other WCG Crunchers around the globe )This month we have seen 7,823 new crunchers join in this Worldwide effort to eliminate some of the worst afflictions of Mankind. 1 person every 5 mins 31 seconds thinks "that WCG thing is worth backing with my PC" October should be a good month as the Universities open their doors again in the Northern Hemisphere Keep those CPU's glowing and the fans blowing Thanks to all Crunchers Big and small Dave  [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Oct 1, 2006 7:49:23 AM] |

Sir David A......would u be able to tickle some data from the WCG back-room, given that u have C.A. seniority......particular we may have less members added than previous period, but with the likes of RCTC moving from UD to BOINC and utilising dual core capacity and increasing their UD agent throttle default from 60% to 100% for BOINC as well as adding a few members that brought whole farms along under one name did a lot to the thru-put....
----------------------------------------We should also not forget to mention the big team moves to WCG from other DC projects.....that's certainly did spread the word in September! Thx PS Hope the Blue wedge, soon enveloping the Red, will find recognition in adaption of the WCG website and forum.

Nice one Sek
---------------------------------------- I was surprised when I punched the buttons on my Calculator this morning that we had less new members than last month strange but true. That C.A. seniority doesn't count for a hill of beans in the WCG Backroom  . What would be nice to know like you say is the genuine number of processor cores out there that have returned WU's in the last month The throughput last week was just 25 or so PC days below the 50K!!! Roll on next week - we must be close on 150TFlops in raw number crunching potential by now. (Just for the record - so I don't loose the info we numbered 223,273 this morning up 7,823 members from 215,450 at the start of September) dave |

http://vspx27.stanford.edu/DCcomparison.html says that we are running 42,187 CPU days a day.

http://vspx27.stanford.edu/DCcomparison.html says that we are running 42,187 CPU days a day. Great effort everyone. That's tops! One technical question: Is there a possibility of these figures being distorted? The reason for asking is that one of the other projects mentioned has many ways of masking the true stats built into it. I know of one producer who shows as having 20 CPUs but produces the Work Units /Day of at least. 800 CPUs. That's only one person running 'ghosted' systems and he isn't the only one. So the numbers quoted in the CPU stats, for that project, are way lower than the reality. So is that type of 'masking' available here? I suspect not, but just asking. Cheers. ozylynx  |

Hello ozylynx,
We do not accept ghosted hours (if there is such a word ) but perhaps 85% of our results come from the UD client, which returns the total number of 'wall clock' hours that the process was running, rather than the actual amount of time the CPU spent running the process, which is what BOINC returns for the other 15% of our results. In other words, BOINC does not count the time I spend playing mindless games but UD would (if I played them on mu UD computer, which I do not ).Lawrence |

Hi ozylynx
----------------------------------------Why would anyone go to such lengths to beat a system that is about searching for a cure for cancer or AIDS? Who wins in such circumstances? Points are really not the be all and end all, accurate completed Work Units are what the project is about and there are checks and balances built into the sytem to make sure that this is the outcome of each project I'm sure knreed could tell you how the stats accuracy is maintained. Work Unit sizes change from project to project and within projects from day to day so they are fairly random. We have pretty much lost the battle over points comparing UD with BOINC although IBM are working on a suitable solution. What is certain about the stats is that the combination of clock time for UD (hours passed while running the agent at whatever throttle setting) and BOINC CPU runtime (which is the processors calculation of the time it has spent on the crunching process) amounted to 115 years 212 days 34 minutes and 19 seconds yesterday - a Saturday! - taking a year to be 365 days that makes the equivalent of 42,187 PC's on all day yesterday, which matches Lawrences figure, and the 42,188th PC was on for just 34 Minutes and 19 seconds. How may PC's it actually takes to put together a figure like that is anyone guess. Some run 24/7 other just a matter of minutes per day We peaked last week at 49,974 PC days in a day. I'm sure we will break 50,000 PC days a day very very soon. I'm as confident of that as I am in the stat we use to measure it.

Well happy snappers......take the parameters as available from the grid.org stats and the wcg.org stats..... dig a little bit like a post from knreed listing out BOINC CPU performance in recent time (find posts discussing 'banner day' **), adjust for the weekend Vanilla Fudge factor and u might conclude, that the Stanford number is hmmmmm, not close by a significant number..... ..... as long as the 42k number is higher than a weekend day 1, 2, ,3, 4, 5, 6 month ago and shows a progressive curve in line with membership growths or better, it's all fine long as the algorithm used is the same....... well we have the 60% UD throttle bump from 4 months ago as the black ice factor to deal with too, so have fun.  ** http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=8525#70202 The Grid.org 62952 (114:005 years wallclock) versus WCG's 42187 CPU's (115:212 years wallclock/cpu time mix) by the stanford-perl script: GetUD() Think it's just a number, not more not less.{ system("wget '$UDurl' -O ud.html >& /dev/null"); my $years = `grep 'Calendar Day' ud.html -C1 | tail -n1 | sed 's/<td>//g' | cut -f1 -d':'`; chomp($years); my $days = `grep 'Calendar Day' ud.html -C1 | tail -n1 | sed 's/<td>//g' | cut -f2 -d':'`; chomp($days); my $cpus = int($days + $years * 365); # turn into a number } sub GetWCG() { system("wget '$WCGurl' -O wcg.html >& /dev/null"); my $years = `grep 'Run Time (y:d:h:m:s)' wcg.html -C1 | tail -n1 | sed 's/<td>//g' | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f1 -d':'`; chomp($years); my $days = `grep 'Run Time (y:d:h:m:s)' wcg.html -C1 | tail -n1 | sed 's/<td>//g' | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f2 -d':'`; chomp($days); my $cpus = int($days + $years * 365); # turn into a number ----------------------------------------
