Threadripper end of Sep report:

So, within a month we expect to hit 100k-th batch in OPNG. As previously for OPN was considered to be 2 targets, each with 50k batches. So we might have an outage of GPU OPNG units.

But we never know, as not clear understanding of batches has been given by scientist / researchers, about the scope of this project. We can only do the work & wait & see...

Back to ECD's, mid Oct check-up:

Comments:
- HSTB is never ending story, going well beyond avg. project length of 1380 days. Bravo!
- OPN1 slipped to March 2022, with latest hick-up of slower data stream. OPNG is up to 96k of 100k results, expecting the end of OPNG, check more info in picture down below.
- MCM is still on time, Oct 2022.
- ARP slipped for about a month back in Jul 2023.

OPNG status, from Threadripper:

End Oct ECD's:

Comments:
- HSTB in yellow, as no report was given in Oct.
- OPN in orange, as no reliable source was pulled out from News (no completed batches reported), link here. Only orientation is based on given batches in WUs, by users on WCG - thank you all!
- MCM in yellow, as no report was given in Oct. Some speed up occurred in this project, as this is the main project on WCG with 2/3 allocation of time / computers - which happen as the other projects finished. But also, as Northern hemisphere is going into Winter & most of the WCG power is allocated on Northern hemisphere.
- ARP has been reported to be ending in Dec 2022 in News, link here. My calcs show that even though we are crunching at speed of 5 batches per month now with 7,5% allocation of WCG, while ARP has been allocated before on 4% of WCG (before end of MIP) making around the same numbers. So linear end is in Dec 2022, but my calcs also compare the average of last 723 days (or 2 years of project run), which also takes into calculation two summer times when most users in summer take vacation with shutting down computers or slowing them down on automatic or manual way in BOINC. That is were our 2 approaches differentiate & why my calculations show that ARP is ending somewhere in March (ECD date), unless some other project will end before (or will be extended with new research / batches) as that will make ARP speed up and end up earlier in Sep 2022 (ECD corrected).

Threadripper just announced that WCG reached 100k batches in OPNG:


OPNG continued on, so we do not know where is the end. :confused:

Threadripper just posted another graph, till 150k of batches for OPNG:

Getting close to finishing CPU calcs on OPN1 research, as we get close to Target2. Pic by Threadripper:


Also newer OPNG graph (from 100k to 150k):


New mid-Dec ECD table:

Comments:
- HSTB in yellow, as report was given in Nov. No end time available!
- OPN in orange, as no report has given from Oct. Only orientation is based on user reports of WU numbers. Weight of project increased from ~26% to ~30%. But as 250k batches are expected (as we punched through more than 100k OPNG batches, so dates we pushed well into end of Q1 2022.
- MCM orange, as no report was given from Oct. Orientation also based on user WU numbers. Slowdown in weight from ~66% to ~62% did make changes in ECD, of pushing MCM at least for 1~2 month for getting new badges.
- ARP in green, as Dec report came in. It slowed down, as weight of project slowed from 7,5% to ~7%. We got additional 2 month for getting badges.
