My current FightAids@Home run is about 38% complete and doesn't seem to be working on anything. There are no colored spheres in the rotating protease model, the Best Docking Energy tracking (bottom right) ranges from 0 to 0, and the Docking Energy (top right) also ranges from 0 to 0 with "Waiting for Docking Completion" message displayed often.
Is this an error or what? |

There are a few workunits that don't show any docking activity. If your percentage is incrementing, let it finish and send it in. That's also good information for the researchers, since it indicates useless drugs. 38% does not sound like it is stuck.
----------------------------------------Checkpoints are not as obvious if there is no green line in the best docking "C" graph. UDMonitor will show the time of the checkpoint/saves in the log if you are running that. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 12, 2005 8:52:27 PM] |

Also check your CPU usage - if it's at 100% then the agent is working.

As a modeler and Computer Scientist, it would seem more effective to sample the docking energies before starting a full calculation run. If there are no docking energies in a 1/1000 (or some acceptable sample size) sampling of positions, then it seems likely it is a worthless molecule. Please verify this with the researchers and let me know their response. Weeding out worthless molecules should improve the effectiveness of this computational project. |

I expected a response to this post by now (3 weeks). Hope this post draws some attention.

Hello aikimark,
I would have to search to find the old posts on this subject, but here is what I remember. The graphics diagram only shows docking attempts that pass a minimum energy level. There are a lot of failed attempts that never show up on the graph. The particular problem here is that sometimes it takes a long time to find an acceptable docking attempt to start the graph. Sometimes a work unit never finds an acceptable docking attempt. But the program is working normally and negative information is just as valid as positive information. The intention was to add a fix to the graph program so that it would start a graph before finding an acceptable docking attempt. This was intended to show up on the update, originally scheduled for December and now scheduled for January 2006. I do not know if the fix is actually in the update, so we shall just have to wait and see. mycrofth |

Currently all panels only show information for dockings that pass a certain threshold. If you don't see anything, it doesn't mean anything is wrong, it's just that it's not displaying due to the docking energies not being low enough to display. I know this can be confusing because it looks like it's not doing anything, but if the percentage is increasing, it's working.
----------------------------------------I've made a change so that you will always see information in the C panel so you can see progress throughout a docking. A and B panels are still restricted to displaying dockings that pass a threshold. This change should be released by the end of the month.

I have the same problem ... I think.
I just realised that my computer was running the package for 21 hours and it was still at 0%. I rebooted to see if it helps, and after an hour it still says Waiting for docking completion... the proces is running at 50% of my CPU, and I am still at 0%. What now? I mean I dont want to be stuck with this project for weeks since it is stuck on 0%. |

If your percentage is incrementing, let it finish and send it in. As long as your time and overall percentage is incrementing, the program will finish. Just let it run. I had one over the weekend that only took a checkpoint every 51 minutes. A couple of the later passes eventually showed some graphics activity. One in the past did not, and showed 0% docking activity for the whole run, but it finished normally. (It was below the threshhold.) The version being mentioned above is version 4.0.3.1 of Autodock (FightAids@Home) Yesterday, WCG made a small change (maybe more?) to the program to eliminate the graphics threshhold. Now it should show some green line activity regardless of what is going on. That is intended to reduce some of this type of confusion that seems to indicate that nothing is happening. Version 4.0.3.2 is being sent out now. It is approximately 915,000 bytes, which will take longer to download, but you will only get the program once per device. I have downloaded some, but have not watched their activity. I am still running some old device slots until I get through them all.
