FIX WEBSITE TO TELL WHAT THE PROJECT NUMBER MEANS

[Steamfire]

Please add an easy to find reference on the FAH website or client monitoring page/software THAT TELLS WHAT THE PROJECT NUMBER MEANS. What project is my computer working on?

Also in your many blog posts about the work on COVID-19, PLEASE TELL THE USER WHAT VALUE TO SET IN THE CLIENT TO WORK ON COVID-19.

Do not answer my questions here. FIX THE WEB SITE.

Welcome to the F@H Forum Steamfire,

If you want to find information regarding the Project you're currently working on, the link is at the top of the page, "Project Summary" which has a list of all projects: https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary
Clicking the Project number that matches what your system shows will provide more details for you.

Please note that the current situation is all COVID-19 projects are given a high priority at the F@H Server level. Thus, you will always be assigned a COVID-19 WU (Work Unit) if your system supports it. You might be assigned WUs from different projects too depending on the WU availability. Do note that the feature to select what disease to contribute to isn't fully operational, hence the high priority at the F@H Server level which is a workaround until the feature is developed and released.

in FAHControl you can also just click on the underlined project number which will take you straight to the relevant project page.

All units being issued at present are for CV-19 pretty much as the scientists have set it to the highest priority.

ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED ON THIS VERY FORUM AND THE WEBSITE WORKS FINE FOR 99% OF PEOPLE. WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY? IT'S NOT A HELPFUL ATTITUDE

Hi

Related to the project list:
Does any column indicate the total number of WUs, and the progress so far towards completing the project?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I did do a search but didn't find anything relevant in past posts.

Thank you!

No, sometimes the number of WUs for a project is open-ended as this is a statistical process. Each project has multiple Runs, and multiple Clones of those runs. The different runs and clones start with different initial conditions, and each Generation is another step along the trajectory coming from those starting points. As each WU is returned, the Work Server creates the next generation WU from its final state which becomes the initial state for the next WU.

Got it, thanks for the answer!
