Description of worked by PGU WU won't load

Post by glad1us »

Hey,

I have recently joined folding to fight against COVID-19 and since about every second WU that my GPU process I can't load the description of the WU.
It gives me a sketchy feeling as makes me think that my PGU is used to mine coins.

Can I fix this problem?
How can I know what is the description of the WU my GPU works on.

FAH does not mine coins … Due to the massive expansion of the folding community within the last weeks the team are flat out trying to get new projects (WUs) into the pipeline and ensure the infrastructure is expanded to service everyone's needs … Occasionally a project description is overlooked (or not written up in time in the haste to release the projects to the servers) … These are usually commented on in the forum and the researchers are notified - they are busy so sometimes catching up takes a bit of time (days not minutes).

So unfortunately you, as such, can't fix the problem - but in time it will be fixed for the project concerned … You will find that most projects have a full description (you just might get quite a lot of WUs from a project without a description back to back) - if you want to see what some of them look like go to https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary and click on any of the project number links (some may not have descriptions - but I believe most do) … This page also indicates a bit about each of the projects.

If you want to check if anyone has reported the WU as description missing use the search (top right) on the project number and it should be fairly obvious if someone has already mentioned it - If not a quick post here will alert the team that a description is missing - but remember to let them know the project number.

I was wondering as well. There doesn't seem to be a description for Project 11778. I did search for it on the summary list.

Some descriptions in the 117xx series are not up to date because they have been started in a hurry to face the huge influx of donors ...

They are all additional clones on different servers of projects with the same number of atoms in the 11741-6 series ...

11776 = 11741 : Description : https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=11741
11777 = 11742 : Description : https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=11742
11778 = 11743 : Description : https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=11743
11779 = 11744 : Description : https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=11744
11780 = 11745 : Description : https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=11744
11781 = 11746 : Description : https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=11746
