And still no word on when their defective software will be fixed. MIP wastes so much electricity it's not funny, and Rosetta as well.

Just wrapped up our monthly call with the research team.

1. The researchers are currently building more work units (around 640 batches) to be sent to us, and anticipate building another 2,000 batches in the very near future.
2. Now that the researchers are putting more work hours into data analysis, writing papers, and publicizing the project, they're sending us work at a slower pace so that they're able to keep up with the new data that they receive back from us.
3. The tech team doesn't anticipate any work outages with the slower pace.
4. The researchers are running a new type of analysis on the work units they've received from us. More details coming as they refine this method of analysis.

Current Work Unit Status:

Available for Download: 684 batches
In Progress: 9,696 batches (6,188,242 work units)
Completed: 266,278 total - 11,912 in the last 30 days - average of 397 per day
Estimated backlog: 1.7 days

We just had our monthly call with the research team.

1. We have lots of work in the backlog now (see below), with additional work to come.
2. They're submitting their first paper to various academic journals. We'll let everyone know once it's accepted.
3. Several of the researchers gave presentations about the project to other scientists last month at a couple of academic meetings in London. Some of these other scientists were interested in getting access to the results, which the MIP team will share in accordance with our open data policy.
4. They're continuing work on their new method of analysis, which so far looks promising. They still need to find out how accurate the new method will be with novel protein structures (which is very difficult to test).

Current Work Unit Status:

Available for Download: 6,976 batches
In Progress: 9,430 batches (17,375,990 work units)
Completed: 274,361 total - 9,047 in the last 30 days - average of 301 per day
Estimated backlog: 23 days

Very good. I will try the new structures on more than two cores at once, which is my present limit for good performance.
It is worth more.
