We wanted to let you know that in a couple of days you will start to receive workunits on BOINC that are shorter then the current set of workunits. Due to the end of the Genome Comparison project, a number of smaller computers were not able to complete the larger workunits from the other projects by the deadline. This change will allow those computers to contribute.

Currently the global average run time for a FightAIDS@Home workunit on BOINC has been about 7.3 hours while the average run time for a Human Proteome Folding Phase 2 workunit has been around 9.6 hours. After this change we hope to see the average run length on both projects at around 6 hours.

In additional we are increasing the deadline for Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 workunits to 11 days from the current 9 days. FightAIDS@Home will continue to have a deadline of 9 days.

thank you for your continued support of World Community Grid
