WCG Reaches 15,000 Years of Run Time!

15,000 Years of Run Time!:
This weekend we crossed another significant milestone. In the nine months since we launched, we have collectively provided 15,000 years of run time, or unused cycles, to World Community Grid.

This achievement has brought the Human Proteome Folding project toward 82% completion. Without your incredible contribution, the Human Proteome Folding project, and all the promise it holds for scientists, could not have been possible.

Already, more than 85,000 people have registered on World Community Grid, and we thank every one of you.
That's quite an achievement. I've added my spare cycles to the cause.
Totals:

Points Generated (Rank) 24,470 (#30,322)
Results Returned (Rank) 90 (#30,836)
Averages:
Avg. Run Time Per Calendar Day (y:d:h:m:s) 0:000:22:35:57
Avg. Run Time Per Result (y:d:h:m:s) 0:000:10:09:25

As has the IBM team which has contributed over 77 years thus far:

Averages:
Avg. Run Time Per Calendar Day (y:d:h:m:s) 0:099:08:14:01
There are actually quite a few IBM affiliated teams that have collectively contributed roughly 2,100 years of runtime to the project. That's quite impressive.

It's not too late to join. Come on in, the water's fine.
