FaH Questions

yustr · 11-17-2007, 05:30 AM

I just joined the TSF F@H team and I'm wondering if someone can explain the information I see when I expand the screen.

I see a multifaceted molecule with a few colored elements (that's what I assume the graphic to be) that changes every few seconds. It rests on a black background. On the left side of the screen are a number of data: Donator (Admin), Team (85015

), Finished WU (none), Working On (p3040_ supervillin-03) I assume this is the protein they've assigned to me...why I'm a '"supervillin" and not a "suprerhero" I won't wager a guess, Frames Completed (1850/5000 33s/frame 1897/5000) , WU End 1d, 4h, 29m,...

Can someone please break this down for me? Or link me to the explanation? Thanks

I'm not very sure myself, but here's what I thought.

According to the folding website, the molecule you see is the actual one you're folding, and it updates consistently.

Donator is your ID, which you can change. This is what everyone will see you as on the team list.

Finished WU is how many work units you've finished so far.

p3040_ supervillin-03 is summarised correctly, it's just the name given to the current work unit, they're always random things which don't make much sense (at least not to me

)

Frames completed is just that. For the current example, there are 5000 frames that make up this work unit, and you've completed 1850 of them, when it reaches 5000, that work unit will be complete and your Completed Work unit will increment by 1.

33s/frame is how long it takes to complete a frame

WU end is an estimated time of completion

Hope this helps

(frames are basically a smaller piece of the work unit)

Welcome Y!! Hey guys. Finnally got the console client to run again but not the graphical clients, have run multiple stress tests on both CPU and memory and all seems to check out. HUMM? Any way am @ 57% completion on this one, we'll see if this one fails before completion. Graphical client finally let me install it but program shuts down as soon as it is opened. Problem was submitted to MS for the umteenth time but still no solution (I guess Bill Gates is too busy counting money or playing X-Box.
