Info about the current status

In last 48h I received 2 WU's for my GPU to process and 0 for the CPU. What is being done to get all of this available resources at work? For weeks we are talking about the upgrades but we still nothing. Is there a page where we can follow up the progress? When is it expected for this to get back to normal?

So far, we see huge growth in the number of volunteer donors, almost matched by growth in hardware. There is no telling when the growth in donors levels off.

I found this chart, measured in Points Per Day, that shows the growth in results. (look at weekly, that was most obvious)

It will be Monday soon, more researchers will get to work and be startled (again) how the weekend grew. I am optimistic that infrastructure will grow on weekdays. They will get closer to caught up until next weekend.
I am not sure when that quits being the new normal. (I am averaging half of my former production, but I am not dwelling on it, much)

So basically, the project can't saturate all of the resources at disposition.
Any news about the stats site, it hasn't updated for me since Friday?

This best page to follow up the progress seems to be https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/

I'm really curious if all of the available 'power' get's pushed to a max, what sort of performance are we going to see!

Simply answer no it can't at the moment .. but it has expanded significantly as it trying to catch up - a knock on of that is the stats delays .. these type of challenges take time to resolve (not mins/hours/days but weeks/monthly) but real progress is being made .. given that the resource pool appears to still be growing rapidly catching up is really not simple .. and I bet the team also want to see all these resources pushing at max

... an issue they will have to contend with is scaling up in a way that can be scale down as when almost inevitably the bubble bursts and a fair proportion of the new pandemic focused folders (not that this isnt a good reason go be folding) go back to their other stuff .. this applies to both home folders and the big efforts for organisations.

If you look at the graph I posted above and look at Users active, we went from 15.000 active users on 3/12, to 175,000 active users now. Nearly 12x growth.
If you look at Weekly, we went from 20m PPD to 80m PPD, about 4 times growth.

So we have a theoretical 3x growth in results achievable with the current PCs, if they can find more server power.
