Great HYP86!i downloaded both the text (DOS file type command line) console and the Graphics Console.
Work units have a name, one can determine what work unit is being processed by looking at a client display, a work unit title might look like: p4588_T0480-8_minout. Usually only the first four numbers (p numbers for protein) are required to classify the unit, in this case 4588. Stanford has a list of current work units in process here. One can look up 4588 and see that it is valued at 47 points, etc.i don't how much each WU is or how many Points (PPD) i get for that.
To get the 'Big WUs, greater in size than 5 MBs you must check a box, as described here.the downloading and uploading of workorders won't take the forms of large files right? i read somewhere 5 MB sizes , so it's like the size of an mp3 song? I have an internet usage limit of 10 GB of down or uploadingper month
What's a frame by the way , i'm on frame 13 out of 150, each WU is divided to 150 frames?
A frame is a fractional unit of a work unit. The data procerssed is saved to your computer each frame or possibly more often. Usually there are 100 frames per work unit, in that case each frame is 1% of the WU. You say you have a 150 frame WU, so each frame is slightly less that 1%.
the more WUs you complete the more points you get?
Yes.
Each work unit has a points value assigned by Stanford. When you complete the WU and send it back to Stanford, then your points will be awarded and your name shows on the Stats list.
That is for a reference machine for standard single processor WUs. The reference machine is a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4. If your machine is different, your points per day (PPD) will be different .i think i saw a formula somewhere : Points =110 * (WU completed per day) or something like that, ...
No not likely.my laptop won't overheat and explode would it?
Having air across the laptop will help.Should I blow another desk or window fan on it (my room is pretty warm during daytime ,room temp in the 70s or near 80 degrees). The bottom of my laptop feels hot.
When you are not personally using the laptop, turn it upside down. This will allow it to cool itself better.
