Ive been looking around Stanford's folding site, and cant find their definition of a work unit?

 

Can somebody explain to me what one unit is? Is it one process being completed? thanks

From the FAQ:

We divide the simulations into packets called “Work Units,” (WUs) each of which is sent to a computer for processing. 

 

It's the best thing we have. If we reverse the sentence order, we get: A work unit is a a packet of simulations that is sent to a computer for processing.
