[edit] What does the LHC@Home Work Unit Name Mean?

In the LHC@Home Project, for example, the Work Unit Name breaks down as follows:

Work Unit Name: wjun4B_v6s4hhpac_mqx__9__64.2914_59.3077__6_8__6__10_1_sixvf_boinc12302
Name Part Description
wjun4B A workspace directory name
v6s4hhpac_mqx The study name where:
v6s4 LHC Version 6 Subversion 4
hhpac_mqx Just a name for the particular physics case
9 The current seed number (typically between 1 and 60) representing a set of magnet errors
64.2914_59.3077 The tunes x and y (the current topic of investigation)
6_8 The initial amplitude range of the tracked particles
6 The order of the the number of turns 1000000
10 The initial angle in phase space (between 0 and 90 degrees)
1_sixvf_boinc12302 Identification string for the BOINC System


Note:
When the Work Unit is split into Results and sent out to Hosts for processing a Result Identifier is appended to the Work Unit Name. The format is "_#". The underscore ("_") separates the Result Identifier from the Work Unit Name. The "#" is replaced with the sequence number beginning with zero (0).
