A brief, ONE OFF, reconstruction of how we got there in the past few months. It was a squeeze, but the projects appear in order of starting date in the stag stack. Some project WU totals were so thin, could not get it to appear. (Maybe when 500,000,000 comes a round a pie of pie/bar or donut chart.)



Interestingly we've been running lately at a pace of less than 0.2 seconds per returned result.



PS: Not to spoil the fun, but with all those PV jailed results, it's like the returned results already passed 400 M last weekend. My PV dropped from yesterday 34 to 17 just after lunch... with constant crunching.

Good crunching all!

Should we setup a 500,000,000'th result race. At the present rate it should hit in the October - November time frame.

Did I say 97,000 active WCG members with almost 200,000 devices? Well this came off the Berkeley global BOINC front page and it shocked me in a way:


That's 30% of global participation contributes to WCG. What is it that we can't bind people to stay on, doing the easiest volunteer job there is on the planet... from your living room... the economic recession? I'm sure those computers are still switched on a few hours a day and it's those hours that add up quickly.

crunching on, come high, come low.

rilian, I think I was not clear. Those are BOINC world wide active numbers and they're shrinking, not growing, where WCG stands out to have twice the number of active members compared to the rest of the BOINC world, in % of total members.
