I have now returned over * 12,000 * valid results for FAids@Home P1 since it restarted - my stats for the restarted project are as follows:
Total: 1,127,867 (Points) ~~ Average: 92.798 Total: 12,154 (Results) ~ Total: 0:281:18:41:49 (Time) ~~ Average: 33.385 Minutes |

The reason I ask as a 7 month NEWB I wanted to understand how WU are released. I hope to get Saphire on MCM,ZIKA,Ebola in a month or so. I then wanted to commit all CPU to either FAH1, FAH2 or TB and wondered if more WU come out if all processors were committed to a project.  |

Thanks Nix. What you said goes without saying. I was questioning whether the tasking control for the project " sees" a member's processing capacity and keeps assigning WU's? Also does the tasker favor a member based on the quantity and validity percentages?

No there is nothing at member level, neither at device level but the most rudimentary checks if a host is able to process a task in time, and that is really seriously stop-gapped/capped at that.
Once upon a time there was a pipedream and a paper on assigning work based on device 'abilities' and 'crunch power'. To my knowledge nothing was ever implemented, at project or at client level such as an interactive client-server form... the servers just keep record of how fast work is returned by a host and some other stats that affect how much points need to be granted per unit of time (broken bad and not expanding as it will get more than a few worked up over). |

Seke thanks for the explanation. What you said jives what I later thought was the situation. The KISS principle.

Right, there is a cap for thread (core?) and as some of my machines are focused on FA@H Phase 1's tiny little WUs, I keep running into an error message saying I have hit my limit of WUs as opposed to hitting a cache limit.

"FAH very small work units. Is this normal?" ! In contrast to the short- and very short-running FAHV WUs that we've come to expect, today I've been getting ones that are taking about 2.5 - 3h on my fast desktop machines.
I guess we are now crunching large ligands (potential drug candidates) or large target proteins, or both. Or perhaps the researchers have changed the way they formulate the WUs. Any comments from the techs or researchers? |

Don't know what is the FUSS all about, 'cause:
----------------------------------------1. all DATA is crunched & returned validated 2. with smaller units you get more results returned, so your profile might jump in scores of results returned...like I'm hoping to get to 1st 1700 people on WCG to have results returned!  3. time is still being evaluated, even if those are small jobs!  |
