Hi timetunnel, This question comes back each and every project and is, In General and Clear Terms, encapsulated in the WCG mission statement that you can read on the About Us page cheers

even if it were 'genetic engineering', which it is not, i would have no problem with that.
good luck.  |

This kind of research is going to become ever more important as the world struggles to feed itself - I wish it every success
 Just got my first WU's....estimating around 7hrs on a Q6600 at the moment |

Just got my first WU's....estimating around 7hrs on a Q6600 at the moment Each result returned by the project contains unique data. We have some additional information in the results that we will use to help us make sure that the very strong majority of results returned contain the correctly computed data. We are starting out sending 19 results per workunit and validating when 14 are returned. Each workunit will run for about 8 hours on each computer. A computer running this project will generate an additional structure prediction in about 90 seconds of execution time on a average computer. This means that if you have a really powerful computer, you may generate 1000 structure predictions in 8 hours while a slower computer may only generate 160. We will be awarding credit by averaging the the claimed credit per structure prediction, and then taking that value and awarding the # of structure predictions in a result * the average claimed credit per structure prediction. So in this case if the slower computer had a claimed credit of 80 and the larger computer had a claimed credit of 450, then the average credit per structure prediction would be 0.475. This means that the slower computer would be granted 76 credits and the faster computer would be awarded 475 credits. The key point though is that all computers should have a estimated time to completion of around 8 hours. |

Yes it is a level playing field for the clockers/non-clockers. The advantage is in the number of cores. Counting on my fingers and toes ... I'll have mine Wednesday.  The big quorum sucks though ... I'll get the points for them next month.   |

Good luck mr./ms. Ramdom, Path7. Path7, We have a script running that is updating everyone's project preferences to select the project. You can do it manually by going to your "My Projects" page, but everyone will have the project selected by default when the script finishes. -Uplinger |
