Suggestion for another stats, progress

Post by chengbin »

F@H has all kinds of statistics, I thought this might be something nice to have. A progress meter.

It can show out of 100% how much work we finished so far in 6 years, the estimated time to finish all of the work at the pace right now, and etc.

I think that might be a fun statistics to have. We can have celebrations when we hit 1% or something and do countdowns of how long it'll take to complete X.

What do you guys think?

We could have a progress meter for the total number of projects and the number of projects completed.

As far as anyone knows, new projects will continue to be created. You can't measure them so you can't create a percentage based on them. What percentage of the life of mankind has already passed?

The probability of human extinction within the next 9000 years is 95%, so we're definitely in the home stretch. :D Considering the age of mankind so far to be ~200,000 years, we're about 95.7% done. :D :D :D

But wouldn't it be possible to show stats for the progress of each project?

I think, that you probably know, of how many WUs a project consists, how many of them has been sent to the folders and how many results returned for one project, so that these information might be shown, maybe additionally in a kind of progress bar, so that we can see the project's progress. I think it shouldn't be that hard to realize. Just a few thoughts... :D

projects are often ended early (when we have all that we need) or late (when we need to extend runs to get the data we need), so this sort of metric likely wouldn't be that useful.

how about just the percentage of the one were working on with estimated completion time like ps3 or would that use too much processor? maybe lowering the sampling rate could fix that?
