请问：fightAIDS显示“no tasks available”是怎么回事？

生理盐水

现在，fightaids顶端显示：no tasks available

窗口中显示：Fight AIDS @Home is completing the installation process on your PC. This happens as rapidly as your network connection speed allows. You can monitor progress by watching the Title Bar at the top of this window. Soon your PC will be accelerating important work.

打开系统监视器，显示cpu的使用率是100％

不知此时fightaids还在干活吗？如果它停了，怎么让他继续工作？谢谢了。

看上去象是说没工作没任务。如果不是网络问题，请转别的计算吧。

Dear FightAids@Home Members,

Good news! The FightAIDSatHome project has successfully concluded Phase I and is now in the process of entering Phase II. We want to thank you for your indispensable contribution to research in developing more effective AIDS therapeutics and give you the opportunity to contribute to the continued research and analysis that will be undertaken in Phase II.

FightAIDSatHome is a computational research project partnership between Entropia and the Olson laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute. FAAH accelerates AIDS research by generating and testing candidate drug compounds against detailed models of evolving AIDS viruses. Dr. Arthur Olson, Director of the Molecular Graphics Laboratory at TSRI, is the FAAH project leader. With the shift from Phase I to Phase II, the program will become entirely self-managed. As part of that process, Entropia is transitioning the project over to the Olson Laboratories at TSRI, where it will become a wholly non-profit endeavor. In compliance with our membership privacy policy, no personal member information will transfer; you must re-enlist with the FAAH project to participate in Phase II.

Over the course of the FAAH project, nearly 60,000 machines in 20 countries have been involved in the project, logging just shy of 1,400 years of continuous computing and performing over nine million tasks. These contributed resources effectively functioned as a computer with 14 terabytes of memory and 1,335 terabytes of disk space. Peak power for this virtual supercomputer was 31 trillion calculations per second).

Thanks to member-contributed computing resources, millions of drug docking computations have been run on the FAAH network during the past two and a half years. The project has ably demonstrated that with such massive computational abilities, researchers can utilize intensive approaches to identify drug candidates that succumb to resistance mutations and those that are more resilient. An early lead developed during Phase I, TL-3, has been shown to be promising against the drug resistant strains that have arisen from the currently approved HIV Protease inhibitors. The characteristics of TL-3 have been born out by the FAAH computational work.
Phase II will build on this research foundation but will run even more massive co-evolutionary computations to look for optimal drug characteristics in evading resistance mutations. As more data become available, it will be integrated into the computations with the goal of developing even smarter strategies for HIV therapeutics. We invite you to click here to learn how you can take part in this exciting new phase.

Again, thank you for your invaluable contribution to the success of this important project.

如果要继续计算，需要先卸载原来的客户端，然后下载新的客户端，见于：http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu/phase2.html

Welcome to Phase 2

We are the members of Dr. Arthur J. Olson's laboratory, and we are excited to be assuming responsibility for FightAIDS@Home. We are grateful for your participation so far, and we hope that you'll continue to participate in FightAIDS@Home.

How do I continue to participate?

It's easy! There are three steps:
Uninstall the current client.
Download the new client...
Install the new client.

How to uninstall the current client & install the new one:

On your Windows Desktop, right-click the Entropia client in your system tray, and select "Stop and Exit" from the menu. The icon should disappear from your system tray.
Bring up the "Control Panel" by selecting "Start" and then "Settings" and then "Control Panel".
Double-click on "Add/Remove Programs" from the Control Panel.
Select "Entropia Client" and remove it: click on "Change/Remove" and then click "Yes". Do the same for "Entropia App0047", and any other Entropia components that you see.
Download the new client from The Scripps Research Institute, here:

This puts a new icon on the desk called "GridClientInstall.exe".
Double click the icon. This then takes you through the setup procedure for installing the new FightAIDS@Home software.

Thank you!

That's all you need to do!

We appreciate your participation.

What's the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2?

FightAIDS@Home is the first biomedical distributed computing project ever launched. It is a computational research project originally begun by by the Olson Laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute,and a local start-up company, Entropia, back in September 2000.

Click on the red FightAIDS@Home button to download the new software:

Thanks to the donation of spare computing cycles from huge numbers of volunteers, we have assembled a 'virtual' computer with massive power. This system gives TSRI scientists an ideal platform to model the evolution of drug resistance and design anti-HIV drugs necessary to fight AIDS.

You can help!

"Why should I join?"

Every computer counts! Your CPU helps to screen millions of candidate drug compounds computationally against detailed models of evolving AIDS viruses—an accomplishment previously impossible without expensive supercomputers. FightAIDS@Home accelerates AIDS research by using a global "grid" of distributed computing power.

Together, we are making a difference!

Your donation of spare computer cycles helps us in our non-profit, scientific endeavours. Entropia helped to launch the FightAIDS@Home project, and we are grateful for their help and donated efforts, but as of May 2003, FightAIDS@Home is no longer associated with Entropia. This means your computer will never be used for commercial purposes.

The Olson Laboratory is funded by the National Institutes of Health, and we are working together with other laboratories here at Scripps, to design, synthesize and test new HIV protease inhibitors that are better than existing drugs in defeating the virus's ability to develop drug resistance.Our collaborators include:
The Elder Laboratory - Virology
The Olson Laboratory - Computational Chemistry
The Sharpless Laboratory - Synthetic Chemistry
The Stout Laboratory - Xray Crystallography
The Torbett Laboratory - Cell Biology
The Wlodawer Laboratory - Xray Crystallography
The Wong Laboratory - Synthetic Chemistry

And thank you!
