And so it begins...

New badges, new forum... and with only 198.2 years in FA@H (after crunching for 7-8 years), I've now missed my big chance to score 200 years on a single project crying

It's hard to get answers, but we now know that the project tasks go by FAH2 and the badges go by FAHB. A sample for the 100 year achievement

... are there plans ;?

Re: And so it begins...

I received four of them. And all are due by the 4th of October.
Will that be the rule for all tasks?

Edit: to precise that they are quorum 1 tasks, no resent.

Why, it is still ongoing.

Yes because of how they work. If you only complete 92% of it by the deadline, the 90% has already been recorded and the remaining 10% will be put into a new WU with additional work. Every 10% it sends what it has computed back, so this way if someone decides to leave the project and they completed at least 10%, that would have been sent back. So not completing a WU is not that big of an issue.

With the shorter deadline, there is a strong reason to lower your cache as it makes little sense to have multiple days worth of long running WU's sitting there. I saw run times of 6 hours to 18 hours per WU in the beta.

i7 980x@3.3Ghz Linux: ~24 hrs
I7 3930k@3.3 Ghz win7: ~13 hrs
Amd 5350@2 Ghz Linux: ~40 hrs
These were the runtimes from my devices for >250 days of beta wu

OK, the badge design has changed, but what about the scoring? Under "My Contribution", "Statistics by Project", my project list (including associated badges) shows, among others, "Human Proteome Folding" and "Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2", with different runtime numbers & different numbers of results. Although I didn't spend enough time on either one to get a badge (I always go 100% on FA@H unless the feeder isn't feeding), it seems highly likely that if I had, then I would have different badges for these two. In other words, as far as "My Contribution" is concerned, THESE TWO ARE DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

Therefore, my big chance to score cool 200 years on a single project cool is now destroyed. I will never see that figure in "My Contribution" next to the "FightAIDS@Home" project. crying crying crying

Re: And so it begins...

Papa3, the research team may still run more work under phase 1 from time to time, so there's still hope :)

Thanks for explanation, very interesting mechanism which breaks the paradigm that we were previously working under. So how do we get credit for the amount of returned WUs? So in the example above, we get credit for 0.9 WUs returned?
