We recently received an update from Erica Ollman Sapphire about the team's ongoing work on the fight against Ebola. In this update, Erica addresses many aspects of their World Community Grid research as well as other projects, including two recent publications, a publication in progress, and television coverage by the National Geographic show Breakthrough. Read all about it at here.
Thank you for your support, ErikaT |

Repost: Like to understand how on one hand we've returned over 128 million results, and on the other hand there being 33.4 million Virtual Experiments. Till now at least I thought a single task was a single compound docking experiment and there being an amount to cover redundancy and verification, but that does not explain the nearly factor 4 of 128M : 33.4M

the percentage of tasks completed is increasing, and will probably reach 100% soon Does that mean we're much closer to the end than we currently estiamte ?  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Mumak at Mar 21, 2016 7:22:06 PM] |

My understanding it that we are close to 100% on the experiments currently being worked on. The article mentions new experiments will run on WCG.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Thanks Erika for the heads-up!
---------------------------------------- Thanks Erica for this interesting update. It's true that it would be interesting to have an explanation of the numbers (31% versus 100% and 128M versus 33M) that do not coincide with what announces the WCG website. For the french community >> WCG - 33 millions de résultats déjà renvoyés sur OET ! ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by [CSF] Thomas H.V.

I just picked up and published in the sciencesprings blog the update.

My understanding it that we are close to 100% on the experiments currently being worked on. The article mentions new experiments will run on WCG. Maybe you could get us a line quote which mentions new experiments, for all I see is what we have known for longer, new targets such as lazza being in the planning, but, are these within the 5463 known batches or over and above? [have seen 1914 as highest so far which would equate to just under 35% if all since 0001 were completed] I have serious problems with WCG et alia accounting as many seem to have. |

From the article: "In the meantime, new targets are planned." All I meant was that my understanding of the 100% in the article is that the current targets/experiments being worked on are nearing 100% and that more targets/experiments are being prepared. - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 2 times, last edit by Falconet at Mar 22, 2016 3:20:35 PM] |

Folks, since SekeRob pointed out earlier in this thread about the discrepancy between the ~33m dockings mentioned in the article, and the well-over-100m results returned for OET, we've been working with Scripps to get to the bottom of this. Turns out that the 33m was based on a miscalculation of the number of batches completed, the number of work units per batch and the number of dockings per work unit.
SekeRob is correct in that in most cases, a single work unit is a single docking. But for OET we run flexible and rigid dockings. For flexible dockings, we only do a single run per work unit. But rigid dockings are simpler and therefore run quite a bit quicker - so we package multiple dockings into a single work unit. This means that the number of dockings is actually higher than the number of results returned. We estimate over 200m virtual dockings for the over 135m results returned so far for OET. Thanks for pointing out the mistake to us and this has been a good lesson learned for us to double and triple check everything before publishing! |

Forgot to mention that we've corrected the article.
