As far as I know, the first Human Proteome Folding papers are still in peer review. They will be announced here on the forums, and will be listed on the project archive page.

All the HPF papers will be published in open access journals. We don't know the publication dates yet.

The FightAIDS@Home project isn't ready to publish as far as I know. They are still busy crunching numbers here on the grid. Read the latest update from the project scientists for how things are progressing. They are ready to begin lab testing based on the results of Phase 1a.

Thanks for the Info Mate.

The estimated finishing time for Phase II of the FAAH project is based on the average of 100 years per day processing. The day when FAAH Phase II reached 43 per cent the number of years that had been processed up to that point was divided by 43 which produced an estimated total processing time of 25,000 years. Keep in mind this is only an estimate based on avaliable data. No information has been provided by the FAAH personnel about any other alternative method of calculating estimated completion times.

The 27 million processed work units includes both Phase I and Phase II, not just Phase II. Also, it has never been stated how many "top hits" from Phase I are being processed in Phase II. This is an unknown thus is an unknown number of work units. Plus, during Phase II the quorum requirements were dropped from 5 to 3. This would speed things up a bit, along with more computers being added daily to the Grid, but by how much is unknown. 75% completion of Phase II at this time is possible, but by simple "dead reckoning" from the last updated per centage completed we are at least 63 per cent complete.

Its possible that we are at 52% based on the work units returned method. This assumes that for each molecule tested requires the same number of work units. This might actually vary from one molecule to another. Also, quorum requirements during Phase II have changed, so this might alter the percentage completed.

As for the elasped processing time method, this method assumes the same computers make similar efforts processing the work units over time (and future work units take as long to process as previously completed workunits). During Phase II the default CPU utilization dropped from 100% to 60%. So now due to the change what was 1 year of processing will now be 1.67 years. This can skew estimated completion times. Also, I am assuming an average of 100 years of processing per day and so far this is staying relatively consistant. Regardless, 52% completion by the elasped processing time method is possible.

Either method of calculating the estimated % completion of Phase II might be equally valid but both are making assumptions that can produce results that can vary from reality.
