It pays to have a second client

Well today we lost internet at the apartment. Sometime from when I left for school at 8 and when I got back at 12 it had gone down. But since I have a backup client full of Genomes all my rigs are still folding. Its worth setting up a serviced client of Genomes.

I know that by around 9:00 PM today they all finished their current WU and started on the genomes. May not be much but it keeps them busy.

So expect a drop in points until the apartment gets internet back.

    I just keep two running gromacs all of the time.
    It is just for security.

    That slows down the project. And since they started introducing the performance fraction on the AS server you may not finish the WUs within 80%. IF you dont then you get tinkers.

    Plus the current WU and the 10 genomes as a service will last me longer than those 2 gromacs.

    Wouldnt having a backup slow the project down and not matter anyway because wouldnt the dates expire on the backup WUs ?

    They are genomes, they dont have deadlines.
