Temporary work unit shortage

Work units for the Influenza Antiviral Drug Search project will temporarily run out until the researchers are able to generate some more. They are running out of disk space running two projects at once. However more disk space should be available soon. Thank you for your patience.

Re: Temporary work unit shortage

Viktors, what this seems to highlight is the uneven weight distribution in certain project combinations. For days on the FLU/HCMD2 profile combo was getting the very rare HCMD2, then when I increased the buffer from 0.81 to 1.81 only got FLU. Now the supply for this projects has dried up the backfill is HCMD2 without ever getting a "There is no work for the projects you have selected".

Anyway, hope this first bout provides the scientists with a quick inroad. 12,000 identified cases around the world, all with a single strain, dubbed New Influenza Type A, vaccines thought to be available soon (June), but when it mutates... a famous virologist compares this now with the potential and spread that could equal the Asian flu pandemic of 1968. All computer models are pointing that way [yes, but this is not the press, rather this world renowned authority speaking on camera]

Presume the scientist are momentarily more focussed on the intermediate results and filtering out the promising compounds than making more WU's. In a way that's good.

Rumours have it that you'll have to stay connected to fetch other WCG project work to give you right of first call when FLU resumes. wink

Hi Viktors

Out of curiosity how much disk space does a typical project take and are all the results kept for the duration of the project or are the results summarised to only promising targets ?

I am just curious and only interested in approximates.

Kind regards
