The reason for a stats reset was that we switched from a system where each structure took an equal time to process to the current one where the difference in the time it takes to process single structures can be huge. Since the goal was to have people complete a 250 structure set in order to potentially produce accurate protein predictions, the point system needed to be adjusted to give more points for the higher sets in order to prevent people from simply resetting after processing 10,000 structures in order to raise their point total more quickly. Phase One's database only kept track of the number of total structures processed, so converting it to the Phase Two point system would have been extremely difficult to impossible. The change we are talking about would not require a stats reset or even be as radical as the shift from Phase One to Two. Basicly it would be a further revision to the algorithem in order to produce even more accurate folded protein structure predictions.Originally posted by [DPC]Mobster
I was reading some thread and stumpled upon this remarkI think I missed something. I have the feeling we've only just begun with Phase II and already Phase III is being mentioned.
Did I miss something or can somebody please explain when this is goint to happen, if stats will be reset AGAIN, what purpose scientifically it server etc.
Or am I jumping to conclusions and should I shut up don't answer that
