HPF1 finishing - paused agents

Sometime this afternoon, we will have sent out the last new work units to process for the Human Proteome Folding (HPF1) project. I'm not certain whether the UD or Boinc side of the grid will reach that point first. However, this means that agents looking for more HPF1 work will not get more after this time. Those agents set to only contribute to HPF1 and those which do not meet the minimum hardware requirements for other projects will indicate that they are "Paused" in the lower part of the UD agent window. You should let agents still working on HPF1 finish their current work unit. If for some reason not enough agents return a result for a specific work unit in the next days, a few more copies of those may be issued. But, otherwise new HPF1 work will not be scheduled.

This represents a monumental computing accomplishment and we thank the entire membership for your generous contribution. This has brought valuable data and possibilities into the horizon of the scientist's plans, which would have been ruled out as completely impractical before you all came along to help. The next steps are a lot of post processing of the result data, populating the results database, writing papers, etc. Dr. Rich Bonneau will fill you in on progress with all of this.

Thanks again for all of your crunching. We will be launching HPF2 very soon and several other very exciting projects. In the meantime the FightAIDS@Home project is still processing a mountain of work so keep those machines crunching. Thank you!

Re: HPF1 finishing - paused agents

This is a good point in time to again bring FAAH into the frontal lobes attention.....UD agent does not have to sit around idle, just (temporarily) select FAAH as the second project in your WCG UD or BOINC profile. Once WCG sends out new HPFs, you'll see it come back in the agent automatically.

Understand that HPF2 uses a slightly different science part it effectively representing a new project which will be added by default to everyone's profile, requiring active opt-out if the individual does not like it.

Thus, keep on using those idle cpu ticks for for a good cause applause
