Finally some breathing room.

I am just not sure that 2011 is correct. Until the project slowdown, we were pegged at almost 70% done, with a project end date of June 2010 I think it was. Then the slowdown happened and Sek changed the graph. But since then, the project has sped up again and is now at full speed ahead.

I would think we can expect to see the graph change again, unless the 70% finished was wildly inaccurate and has been adjusted down.

In other words, I would not expect it to last until 2011 unless we hear explicit confirmation from the advisors & techs. We have been surprised before!

breathgelatin,

Thanks for the 'wildly inaccurate'.

Others et al, meantime, it so happens that the overall project average job run time is 8.03 hours as when the original project size of 40,000 * 25 * 19 jobs was based off 8 hour job sizes. Don't know if these 'added small independently folding sequences' have made the computing of each seed harder. At any rate, on old size I had it on 93% (unpublished), the new size now puts us at ~53% [CPU time based], but again not at all aware if this made the computations harder. Pace change history considering, the planner puts the project completion into 2011. So, all can get off the panic button for a wee while.

edit: New % estim update changed.

I've now updated the status page at http://protinfo.compbio.washington.edu/rice

I've detailed our rationale for expanding the sequenc search space (partial information for a protein is better than no information). I also will keep updating the page with results of our
analysis. Thanks for all your time!
