We had our monthly call today with the researchers. They are waiting for the current phase 2 jobs to finish before they can assess how well they are working. We paused phase 1 VINA work, but in a few months they expect more work there. A new researcher will be joining the Scripps team to work on preparing those. We will make an announcement when that happens. They sent about 25 compounds to a lab to be tested, but there are no exciting results from those tests so far. We also emailed members who were only contributing to phase 1 to also contribute to phase 2 to help speed up this phase.

Once again, thanks Viktors for the update.

These short updates are exactly what I missed bedore, thanks for that!
We also emailed members who were only contributing to phase 1 to also contribute to phase 2 to help speed up this phase. Does this mean there are too few volunteers who have FAH2 activated? Because my understanding for now was, that most people have all projects activated and WCG can therefore decide which projects to run with which weighting. If this is not the case, this would be very good for me and certainly others to know, because I then would crunch projects where ressources are missing. Or was the mailing mentioned above more a way to reactivate volunteers who are not active any more? |

I think that the 1 day deadline is what is keeping some users (like me) from activating the project. I don't have a machine running 24/7, I'm contributing with a laptop that I don't even use everyday, so I'm sure I wouldn't be able to complete most of the WUs in time. |

We only sent a note to those that only contributed to FAAH phase 1. Because of the even sharing among projects, the FAAH phase2 is slightly slowed down. In phase 2 they have many parallel tracks where a work unit comes back to us, some special processing occurs which exchanges information among the tracks, and then new work units wait to be doled out (for each of the tracks) to members again. The time in the queue can be hours (waiting for a member that needs work) which is what slows down the processing. They are looking at running fewer parallel tracks which would solve that problem, but then the overall project would take longer because fewer tracks are running in parallel. So getting more people to contribute to phase 2 would decrease the queuing time and speed everything up for the project.

We had our monthly call today with the researchers. They are waiting for the current phase 2 jobs to finish before they can assess how well they are working. Thank you for the update. By what you said I am gathering there will be no new work added to the project apart from new work created from returned work until the current work can be analysed?  |

Ok, set up one of my crunchers with windows (which seems to be more effective than Linux for FAAH2) and run FAAH2 exclusively on it now. Hope that helps a tiny bit!

I will contribute 16 cores running roughly 12 hours a day here to help with the cleanup process Edit = Added number of cores and time per day [Edit 1 times, last edit by Speedy51 at Feb 17, 2018 6:26:40 AM] |
