What is the name of your project?

Often, the estimated completion time is not accurate for the first few days. I suspect that the completion date is incorrect and will become more accurate as time passes.

You can look here for information on points and scheduled deadlines:

You can look here for scientific information on any project:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/allprojects

Lastly, look in your F@H folder and open the "unitinfo.txt" file. That is a summary of the work unit that you are currently working on.

My current unitinfo.txt looks like this:

Current Work Unit

---

Name: p2080_Abeta_4mer
Download time: December 25 10:20:05
Due time: February 26 10:20:05
Progress: 67% [||||||____]


I downloaded the WU on Dec 25 at 10:20 am. The due time, the latest that this WU can be turned into Stanford for credit, is Feb 26.

Since I have completed 67% in the two days since I started the WU, it will be done in just another day or so.

The "due date" is the last time that a WU downloaded on Dec 25 can be reported back to Stanford for credit. No big deal for always on desktops, big deal for laptops that are only used occasionally.

Well, Phoenix Rising won the race to 10.5 MM points. Maybe they will go back to WCG and leave us to assault the top teams.

I can't believe that I am outproducing Klutz. Hasn't happened in a year. Bet that it won't happen for long.

Klutz, back to work! Do I need to come out and help you get all those labs converted?

[Drango]

Klutz is indeed Superman and when he cranks back up...lookout. However even he can't do it alone. XS is outpointing us by approximately 40,000 per day. Yowzaha! We need more folders. Pure and simple.

As simple as the answer is, the implementation is tough. Real tough. We get more folders every time a new thread is started, but there is a limit to how many times we can post new threads without wearing out our welcome here. I'm not sure I have a solution on how to recruit more FReepers. Anyone?

XS is outpointing us by approximately 40,000 per day.

Reading further on the XS boards, many announced today they were bailing on FAH, and going back to WCG.
Time will tell if many, some, or none stay with FAH.

Ok, thanks. It makes sense and all I have to do is read ... DOH.

My curent unitinfo is;

Current Work Unit

-----------------

Name: p2125_lambda_5way_melt_4_10011

Download time: December 22 16:27:11

Due time: April 10 16:27:11

Progress: 79% [|||||||___]

Clearly it will be done before April.

Thanks too for the link to the stats page about all of the projects. Very interesting. I currently have three processors working although they are not all fast.

[texas booster]

That's why we are here!

We get lots of points from slower computers. I only have a few fast systems cranked up to 100%. Almost all of mine are running at 75%, with others running at 50%.

A P3 550 MHz system at 50% will complete work units but it can take a while.

[processing please hold]

I have two p2124's folding. They are at 95% and 96% completed and should be completed sometime this morning. That should give my our numbers a boost.

[processing please hold]

Anyone else get this when trying to access F@H?

There was an error accessing/using the database. Description: error opening wwwrun@vspdb1.stanford.edu:stats Please send this error message and the conditions under which it was caused to the F@H researchers. Thank you.

[processing please hold]

The Folding@Home stats server is down for maintenance until 5pm PST Friday December 29, 2006. Please try back later.

We aplogize for this inconvenience (and more information can be found at this forum thread and in the F@H News section).

[texas booster]

It looks like the stats server is back up.

44,000 points on the 9:00 pm update.

[processing please hold]

Thanks. They still have yet to credit me with a second p2124 and a p993. I guess they will eventually....

I am going to upgrade to a dual processor CPU soon, see how it goes. Might upgrade video card in 2-6 months, I heard the fancy ATI ones are fantastic for folding.

Hey every one, we are over here now!
