Hope there's enough left for 1 more day as I need that for ruby.

I get about 10 days for every calendar and that means less than nine days before I reach six years, and then it's about 36 days for every year beyond that. It will be interesting to see how long HCC is active.

Me, I must be living in the 5th dimension... T7 was slowed so that the *exclusive* crunchers could continue working on HFCC until T8 is available, anticipated in December. Even with the slowing, T7 is next to complete, so there will be a little hiatus for that science...

--//--

edit: ... so is my guesstimation.

hcc1 should be ending prior to feb....
hcc2 upcomming in the next year or so
hfcc t7 slowed to bridge the gap prior to t8 i though

it depends on a lot of things... right now they have put the project to MEDIUM weight and with dddt2 havering a bit of rain you also have people jumping to grab those few... also a few of the beta tests showed up and that grabbed some people as well...again the chart we all love is sekerob's and as he keeps saying its only a best guesstimate of what is happening. if they wanted to they could probably shift HCC to high gear and lower all the other projects to medium or less and we could get done by new years.

honestly i think the reason HCC is running slower is the scientists are busy working on getting HCC2 up and ready to go... and while that happens they have less time to deal with the results from HCC1 so it was slowed to a medium.

also another reason might be they want HCC1 to last till HCC2 is ready to go so we dont loose the people who are cancer only crunchers.

also with HFCC in a slowdown till T8 is ready they may have slowed HCC1 down also for the same reason... to not exhaust the cancer work until they are ready to go with more work.

also watching the chart is showing HCMD2 end time dropping like a stone we are getting some badge hunters pushing there to get there final badge.

again with so many different projects running the shift from one to another makes predicting when it might end harder. but i love watching the chart.

personally if I had control of the work I would push the projects almost done to done and then let work resume on all the other projects... but again I have no clue on the inner workings of WCG there is probably lots of contracts and scientists wishes and the potential loss of crunchers as some projects end and all that stuff that i know nothing about in the works...

so right now as it looks at yesterdays stats the only way to push HCC1 to the end would be to have a lot more than 12500 cpu's devoted only to HCC1

hfcc would be easyer to push though since you would only need 3800 cpu's devoted only to HFCC only based on yesterdays stats.

of corse since i only have 5 cpu's running (hopefully by the end of the week i will get another one back in the game...) I have no chance on pushing projects so I am happy badge hunting.

as of Sunday i will be officially 1 year 7 months a survivor of thyroid cancer. so yes cancer projects have a little extra push in my mind. I also understand that there are some people who only want to crunch cancer projects so I am assuming the slowdown is so they can do the work they are happy with while more work is being prepared for all of us in the next wave of cancer projects.
