Downloaded and installed Folding@Home for the first time.

My current work unit name seems to be "Giving Russians Opium May Alter Current Situation".

Um, this seems slightly louche to me?

See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12922

The GROMACS developers created a bunch of acronyms, including this one. Stanford/Pande Group didn't create them.

Giving Russians Opium May Alter Current Situation = GROMACS. Ah, I see. Thanx.

But I'm still curious. Is there any way for me to figure out what actual protein-related task my machine is working on?

The fahlog.txt file shows the Work unit info. Project number, etc.

Code: Select all

[20:45:36] Project: 5782 (Run 1, Clone 33, Gen 227)
how do I translate the above?

As best I can make out, the timestamp seems to be GMT-1 when I'm in fact in GMT-8.

Welcome to the F@H Forum pat,

The FAHlog is always in GMT regardless of where your time-zone. If you want more information about that WU (Work Unit), you can download and install HFM.NET and it will give you details like:
Preferred Deadline
Credits
PPD (Points Per Day)
...
