Congratulations on joining the 2k club. Way to go.:D

Wow...already? Your really picking up steam, David. :)

Thank you rickoic for the thumbs up (ditto to my chum DHD). I know it is only a matter of a short time before you will have the same mantle.

BTW.... What is with Encnuk? He is driving like a bat out of a hotspot.....

[rickoic]

Don't know what's gotten into Encnuk. His 3 computers are really turning out the wu's and points. Over 400 per week. I'm churning 7 computers and can only generate a little over 200 per week. Wish he'd share his secret with the rest of us.:D :D ;)

I did not intend on publishing this information, but as you ask, I see no reason not letting you know.

You get points for the number of work units you return to Stanford. If a fold terminates pre-maturely due to an internal mathematical instability, the client returns the aborted fold to Stanford and you get the points as though you have completed the whole fold.

The Gromacs core with the 903 protein (pTrpCage) seems to have massive mathematical instability problems on my main machine. It is not unusual that it aborts within 10 - 30 minutes of starting a new protein fold and returns the answer to Stanford.

This is what it looks like:
