For the current C.A.P. subproject (OrAnG UtAn) we have processed 113,850 rows,
leaving 16,372 as yet unprocessed. Completion of the current project will
probably be this week sometime. Obviously, quite a step up from our 4000 rows
in the ECO analysis phase.
Some perspective:
The average nodes examined per position is about 100 million. Some have only 70
million but some have over 4 billion. So 100,000 rows times 100,000,000
positions per row gives 10,000,000,000,000 positions examined (that's right, ten
trillion positions have been examined -- as a conservative estimate -- in our
project so far {just in the primary table}). Without the cooperation of a large
number of computers such work would be silly even to imagine. Of course, most
of these positions have already been examined *twice* so the real extent of the
work is even more flabbergasting than the 10 trillion number suggests.
Our next subproject will be project Heartwood. If you would like to learn more,
