Hello @ All, I just joined the MilkyWay@home. I support the project with 2 PCs. My Question is: Where is the finish of this Project? Is it possible to say how many flops needed to finish the MilkyWay@home project? Is there a end? TIA and cheers |

If I understood is right, the MilkyWay project is developing 1 3D model of the MilkyWay. There size of this(info from wiki) is diameter: 100.000 light years Thikness 3000 to 16000 lighting years Like you can see it can not be endless project like SETI ;-) How many FLOPS we need to make a job for 1*1*1 light yers? And how many does we have? Our sun system Model is allright there. The value of this is just few Minutes of Light. What about the rest of project? |

My Question is: Where is the finish of this Project?The last visualization of completed work was a picture or two from last year. No modeling has been shown/ put together yet. Is it possible to say how many flops needed to finish the MilkyWay@home project? I don't think it could be very specific as different style searches take different amounts of steps. Is there a end? If it all gets run and sorted out eventually yes. When that will be, who knows. No real update has been given in many months, so it is hard to be more specific. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |
