Would you like to see the new protein structure predicted by your computer? Here is how you can do it on CAS@home:1. login to your account on the CAS@home (http://casathome.ihep.ac.cn)website2. Navigate to your account inforation (User->Your Account) and click on the task list (http://casathome.ihep.ac.cn/test/ICT_showresult_0.png)3. View the science info for the TreeThreader workunits. (http://casathome.ihep.ac.cn/test/ICT_showresult_1.png)4. A protein struction prediction is based on 32 workunits, if all the workunits are finished and post-processed by the ICT web service, you shall be able to see the full protein structure like this (http://casathome.ihep.ac.cn/test/ICT_showresult_2.png). Otherwise, you will see a "waiting" message, and you can check out the results later.

Not worth running this project, 39000 seconds for 130 points that approx 12 per hour. WTF!

There ought to be a overal BOINC-Admin that who takes care that the credits for each project are a reflection of the effort delivered, regardless of the project.
x hours of CPU computing is y credits. When a GPU can do far more within the same project it gets more points, comparable to the points a CPU would have been given for that effort.
