WU named 'system'

Post by Kuptis »

For CPU1 my first WU was named 'system'. It finished and now I have another WU also named 'system' also on CPU1. I just created a CPU2 directory and it shows a name 'p4446_Seq45_Amber03'. CPU1 is configured for 'big' whereas CPU2 is configured for 'normal'. Other than that why the discrepancy in the names?

Welcome to the forums. :)

The researcher that created the project displaying "system" presumably forgot to put in the proper protein name (it's different for each of the many different projects). It's nothing to worry about, but is a pain if you want to know exactly what proteins you're folding :)

OK. Thanks. Didn't know if that was a problem or not.

I did notice in the unitinfo.txt file there is a tag line which compared with the name on a WU that has a name:
Name: p4446_Seq45_Amber03
Tag: P4446R812C2G7

And if I open the progress in a window or even in the FAHlog.txt it shows by how they are recorded like in the forums such as: Project: 4446 (Run 812, Clone 2, Gen 7). Which I just realized that's how the tag is set up since this matches the tag above and is the same WU.

I think this should be added as a FAQ or given in the instructions somewhere.

Where did you see the name "system"? Was that in the Viewer or perhaps in a 3rd party monitoring program? Was it in unitinfo.txt?

In the only data you posted (for CPU2), I see Name: p4446_Seq45_Amber03 which is correct. A snippet from CPU1's FAHlog.txt would be helpful.

"System" WUs are p2465 to p2499 from 171.65.103.160 ...

It's in unitinfo.txt.

I just started and learned that they have names and tags (such as in unitinfo.txt). The name is showing 'system' but the tag shows PaaRbbCccGdd which equals Project: aa (Run: bb, Clone: cc, Gen: dd) which is really how they're referenced.
