    Gentlemen, you are processing now the last thousands of WUs remaining, so in a few hours there will be no more work left.

    While some WUs may be available from time to time due to revisitation in the next days, computations are going to be on standby until I collect all results, analyse them and make some conclusions that will help me to produce a refined new model. This will be our Phase III, perhaps in October.

    I would like to thank you all for your support and understanding during the last weeks. With 400 users and nearly 1300 hosts, I have had more CPU power than I could dream when I started Ideologias@Home. Maybe it is very little compared with other BOINC projects but I am very impressed. For me this is a gift I appreciate absolutely. Because of you, small research teams like mine are able to go further in the investigation and think on solutions impossible to achieve in any other way.

    I know there have been some problems during the computations, but with every one of them we learn a little bit more about the BOINC platform and improve the project. Again, this has been possible thanks to your advice and help.

    Happy crunching today!

    Javier.

      Dr Villanueva, I hope that you will also please accept our thanks for allowing us to assist you in this way.

      I am sure that you know, by now, that it has been a great pleasure for us too.

      Of course, we also know that much more hard work starts for you soon to analyse all of the results from your project.

      So we look forward to reading your paper on your theorem on this intriguing subject matter in the future.

      /edit - one small request, when the last work unit has been processed, please leave the site online for a while so all the stats-sites can collect the final stats files. Many thanks - edit/

      Now, if we can just convince Mumps to stop hogging all the work, maybe the rest of us can catch our BOINC milestones targets.

      @Mumps, yeah. I know. Not going to happen. ha ha. sigh :)

      Great run everyone.

        Thanks for keeping the project running so smoothly and being responsive on the message boards.

        Only one small glitch which was quickly acknowledged and fixed, and you've always responded to questions raised.

        I wish all projects were as well run.

        Looking forward to your future projects (Neurona is out of reach of my humble hardware!).

        Hope the analysis goes well, see you next time around :)

        Cheers,

        Al.

            Oops. To late. I'll try to remember that next time. :)

            I agree with the rest of the posters as well. Thank you Javier for a reasonably well run project. I'll be happy to keep supporting your efforts as long as you remain as attentive to your projects.

            Now, about the credits... :)

              Just razzing you man. :)
              I really thought you were going to hit the 1 Mil.
              You might still get there, though.
              There's some pending wu's that the server is still matching through and some re-sends are coming out.
              Good luck. It'll be close.
