A Problem And a couple suggestions

hi you guys, I have noticed when I finish a work unit my Device Overall Performance score goes down 1. it was at 170, and now goes for 168, i havent cahnged anything, the processors are the same, the same amount of ram, the same storage sapce allocated, and same network, I really dont understand it confused confused I have grid Agent 3.0 [2843] [wich is the newest?] any ideas?

Also I would like to suggest a bit of more scientific information about ht protein your working on, maybe the means of the colors of the atoms, the name of the aminoacids its formed by...things like that

Also a Linux distribution for SMP and/or 64 bits or so could be great [I know its not easy, just saying... smile ]

smile Hi Karlsson

The reason this happened is that when you complete a work unit and it is uploaded to the server, your profile is re-assessed and given a fresh score for the current work unit

If your system is sitting idle at this point, you will get a higher profile score than if you were doing something computer intensive like playing a graphics intensive game, as it views this as less cycles available to the current Work Unit

Sounds silly, I know, but thats the way it works unfortunarely
However it does not seem to make a great deal of difference to your points awarded for that work unit

For your scientific Info, follow these links:

I hope this helps to answer your question

Graham already answered the points question so I'll tackle this one.

The colors aren't molecules, they're amino acids. The color of each represents the type of amino acid. This information can be found on ISB's project page, specifically here:
http://www.systemsbiology.org/Default.aspx?pagename=humanproteome#Aminoacid
In summary, here are what the colors mean:

  • Orange: Hydrophobic (oily)
  • Red: Acidic (negatively charged)
  • Blue: Basic (positive charge)
  • Purple: Histidine (positive or negative)
  • Yellow: Sulphur containing residues
  • Green: Everything else (even though every amino acid is special)


Also a Linux distribution for SMP and/or 64 bits or so could be great [I know its not easy, just saying... smile ]

These questions are answered in our Software FAQ

As for a native 64 bit version of the code....well, you never know. smile
