Hi tangra,
No updates. Looking at Statistics - By Projects - FAAH I see:
10/15/2006 00:06:02 --- Results Returned 27,575,054

Compare this with:
40% 18 August 2006 ---- Results Returned 22,529,595
43% 01 September 2006 Results Returned 23,642,682
???? 06 October 2006 --- Results Returned 26,977,053

It looks as though we have added about 10.5% to the 43% but we need a longer baseline than just 2 weeks to see how many results amount to 1%. The next time they update the percentage on the FAAH website http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu/ we need the first person who spots it to record the FAAH Project Results Returned. For a long time, we were not recording these figures. Live and learn!

so best rough guess is say. 560,000 results per 1% ???
not sure wot results mean ie total results? total valid results? individual results? quorum of 3 valid results? ( that would be my guess but i could be wrong) keep up the good work , and yeah , lets monitor progress - is good to know how far along things are, good for motivation and information etc...

40% 18 August 2006 ---- Results Returned 22,529,595

22,529,595 / 40 = 563,239

43% 01 September 2006 Results Returned 23,642,682

likewise 23,642,682 / 43 = 549,829

extrapolating 563,239 x 100 = 56,323,900

of course many assumptions here.. i am still not sure if results returned = raw numbers or validated results divided by quorum of 3 for "final" result.

loads of guesswork here but the trend is prob reliable, say 6 ish % per month ? cheers. same maths by poster above suggested that about 300,000 ish = 1% , i guess depends when the % marks get posted at faah site, so would have to tally numbers at that time. So i will hazard a wild guess and assume that we are now just over 50% and that there is about 8 months of work to go, depending on mix of other work units on wcg and increase in users/ computers etc. So i am putting "pretend" money on a june 2007 finish, hey same month my sister in law baby due..

prob earlier if more crunching happens, users get more and or faster computers etc etc.. my optimistic guess is for April finish but monopoly money says june 2007 , ha any takers?

From the time the 43% completion point was posted I divided the time that had elasped processing Phase 2 and came up with 25,000 years of processing time required to complete 100% of Phase 2. Right now we are at 17,025 years which places us at about 68%. This assumes that future efforts in processing data is the same as the data already processed, that is, future workunits require similar processing time as past ones. This may not be the case knowing that each tested molecule is different from the others. Also, the change in the quorum requirements, changes for 100% to 60% in default CPU utilization and the constant addition of new users will alter my estimate.

Perhaps somebody will develop a good calculus equation showing how processing times per day change as the number of computers are added to the Grid.

*checks schedule*

Oh, we're going to be busy all right. :-D
