Go to solution Solved by GOTSpectrum,

Luckily when I said it was almost done, I really meant it. 

 

For the last time in 2020, ladles and gentlespoons, here a blog post.

 

 

And with that said, it's a wrap! Thank you for everyone getting involved, if you'd like to continue talking about folding why not head over to The Folding Community Board

I'm seeing similar things, I think people firing FAH back up is taking up some WU, which is great.

 

I actually jumped out of the beta queue, and had a steady stream of WU on my one system for like 2 months without touching anything or ever pause/unpausing!  Which was nice for my lazy @$$.  But looks like I need to start refreshing again!

yeah it was 2 factors one card was stuck with no boosting allows updating driver and rebooting fixed it and i had to reenable the baby sitter lol as my lazy @$$ aint going to watch it that closely.

Even during the folding events I still just check in on it a few times a day, I really should consider a babysitter...sometimes I wake up and see that it sat idle for 10 hours XD.  All good though, continuing to march forward!

Interestingly enough, I'm seeing about half the WU's but nearly the same PPD.

Yes, you are able to pause the work units and give a bit of rest to your computer (not that it needs anyway if airflow is good).

 

And what you saw is estimated time to finish for specific work units.

 

You have a deadline which is usually 3 days and sometimes up to 7 or even 14 days for some work units.

 

You should read the thread that was posted few messages back and some tutorials from F@H or/and on youtube.


Here are some useful links:

 

https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/project-details/

https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/running-foldinghome/

https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/

 

After you go through FAQ, thread with installation help and tutorials on YT, feel free to ask anything. But you will get the most answers in links above and from the thread mentioned by @marknd59.

I have read the thread and now I have one last question, what does the deadline mean?? I thought I could just start folding for 3 hours then stop it for the night and repeat the next day.....

Each WU has a deadline that it has to be finished by normally it is about 3 days, that's how long you have to complete it and return the results.

I dont track WU projects closely (or at all tbh) but I do recall back in July/August WU's started putting out more PPD. Perhaps these are new much harder WU's with comparable points to compensate?

I don't know what is going on but my GPU's have constant work the science is getting done that's all I really care about.

Nothing really you just wont get any points for it and the WU will sent out to someone else.

Okay Thx! I guess I will just try to help as much as I can which will probably be 3-4 hours a day. Don’t want to burn out my pc, especially with the cheap power supply I got.

WUs are tested on a standard benchmark machine and are given a 'difficulty' based on the length of time it takes for that machine to complete the WU, it is then assigned a points award based on that difficulty level. This means that getting WUs that vary in difficulty and thus in time should not have a major effect on your average points over a protracted length of time, eg over days or a week. This applies to most projects due to the linear nature of most simulations.  

 

There are some projects however that due to the type of work they are doing, there is no way to gauge the difficulty of each individual WU, the most recent example of this is the COVID moonshot WUs that due to the very nature of what it is doing (testing many different samples against a given protein to find low binding energies) there is no way to test every permutation of the work. In these cases a representative sample of the WUs is tested and an average used. This mean that the points can vary greatly as the project progresses. The idea is that over longer periods the average should kick in meaning points should be relatively stable. In practice however, we have seen that this isn't the case.

There are more prizes to be added which I will do this evening or tomorrow morning, along with a new blog post.

 

I was hoping to get it done this morning but I awoke late and I have a medical appointment shortly. Thank you for your understanding with this.
