Pardon the interruption but thought to share this interesting bit of history with
----------------------------------------Go Fight Against Malaria crunchers. The sign was put up at the 363rd station hospital in Papua, New Guinea during WWII and is an advertisement for Atabrine , an anti-malaria drug.  |

The My Projects page per me abacus I think could be corrected to show "Ending Sooner"
 . Based on the batch numbering, assuming there's sequential feeding, last one here 114132 some hour ago, looks to be less than 5 days now, 4 days after the 10 day announcement on May 25.Need 2 more days of uninterrupted buffer back-filling to get to target. Today we're going for another day record... nearly 90 runtime years. Tried to translate an expression and not sure if "Breakin' out in hives" would be the applicable theme here.  |

I just received GFAM_x1Z57_hCLK1_0115319 _0059. Clueless how that fits against GFAM_x3LLT_PfLammer_w5WATs_0116485_0103. Hopefully, there are more days left than Sekerob is suggesting. If not, oh well, it was a good try (I still need to crunch 38 days worth of WUs).

Based on the batch numbering, assuming there's sequential feeding, last one here 114132 some hour ago, looks to be less than 5 days now, 4 days after the 10 day announcement on May 25.Looking at my WU downloads this morning I received a batch numbered 01154xx_ at 07:07UTC and then a batch numbered 01142xx_ at 10:31 UTC so it would appear that feeding is not sequential.  I think it impossible to give a precise estimate of project time remaining so best guess 3-5 days remaining.  |

What comes after the _ as suffix is very relevant to determining the order. Right now the 00142xx_ could be a wingman verifier. BTW, we don't receive batches but tasks of batches ;)
----------------------------------------(Anyway, since the projected TTCs for the Linux clients are so inflated, sometimes the client somehow picking up a Windows (4:56 hours average) instead of a Linux average (3:06 hours) from the server, not receiving work since the previous post... got 13 days per core, when I know it's good for 7.5 days or so. By the time the cache drops enough, in ~4 days, the supply is gone.) [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 30, 2013 11:56:32 AM] |

I truncated the WU ID since there were no wingman verifiers:
----------------------------------------GFAM_ x2VAG_ A_ hCLK1_ 0114268_ 0040_ 0-- 30/05/2013 10:31 GFAM_ x2VAG_ A_ hCLK1_ 0114268_ 0015_ 0-- 30/05/2013 10:31 GFAM_ x2VAG_ A_ hCLK1_ 0114268_ 0199_ 0-- 30/05/2013 10:31 GFAM_ x2VAG_ A_ hCLK1_ 0114267_ 0065_ 0-- 30/05/2013 10:31 GFAM_ x2VAG_ A_ hCLK1_ 0114267_ 0200_ 0-- 30/05/2013 10:31 but if the _xxxx_ segment of the WU ID provides a further clue to the order I'd be interested to understand how it works. And btw whilst we don't receive batches but tasks of batches is true, not being a technophile my use of 'batch' was in the sense of A quantity required for or produced as the result of one operation Guess it got managled in translation.  |

Tried to translate an expression and not sure if "Breakin' out in hives" would be the applicable theme here. That expression would indicate such an extreme anxiousness or anxiety that it would give one a rash(hives). Cheers

Is the end near? The last WU that I received (GFAM_ x2VAG_ B_ hCLK1_ w7WATs_ 0114582_ 0244) was at 8:26 am (CT) today, which was over 12 hours ago. Also, I have noticed that yesterday we crunched over 91 years and today we have crunched only 121 hours during the first 2 hours of the day (extrapolating, it should be something like 3.8 days):
----------------------------------------Statistics Date........Total Run Time.........Points Generated.........Results Returned 06/01/2013..............0:121:07:45:01........488,914......................647 05/31/2013............91:260:11:32:48........134,162,350................179,729 I'm still 22 days away from emerald, but I think that I can still make it (at least I'm trying like hell  ).CJSL Crunching for a better world... |

I'm in the same boat I've got to get about 20 days,
 might have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. |

I don't really care about badges since it only measures runtime and not total throughput. I'm fairly certain my 4GHz FX-8120 and three Phenom II X6 machines get a lot more work done per core than a Pentium III/IV/D.
----------------------------------------As it stands I've got 3,078,010 points from 4,098 work units which totals 1 year and 179 days of runtime in this project. [Edit 1 times, last edit by mmstick at Jun 1, 2013 4:27:56 AM] |
