Hi. I just started devoting my computer to this project and noticed that my computer has been crunching the data for this for over six hours but only shows having finished 0.5%. Yes, it does show a crazy completion time (1600 hrs) but this seems to be a different issue from the other posts on this issue. I am running a new dual core Pentium, so my CPU speed is not the issue. Either I have a monster work unit or else Boinc reporting on the Climate Prediction work units is hosed and needs some work. Im convinced of the latter.

That\'s about right... the work units are indeed very large.

You seem to have a very fast CPU - it takes me almost a full day to process 0.5%

In fact you could run two models simultaneously if you want, one on each core - if you want to do this, set the \'num processors\' on the account preferences page to 2 from 1.

You\'re lucky to have such a fast pc. I\'m at 3.5 after 10 days almost always on.

I just moved here from Seti. And have done a lot of reading.
I just hit 1.02% after 19 hours. Dual core @ 3.06 ghz and am
running 2 units at the same time. Boatloads of ram also.

The completion time is really wierd, but I see this happen to
other users also, so I ignore that.

Slightly worried about the reported deadline though. I just did
1% in 19 hours. At this rate, I wont be done for 62 days, which
is way past the date deadline of February 12th. Should this be
a concern? Or does anyone think the ticker for percent done will
speed up? Thanks.

February 12th of which year? 2007?
You have a \'year\' to complete it, but only because there is a \'completion date\' field in the BOINC software, which needs an entry of some sort.
In this project, deadlines are ignored.
The completion date will decrease a bit, as BOINC \'learns\' about your computer speed/useage, etc. But there won\'t be a noticeable difference until after several hundred hours.

Crunch on! :)

Whoops. Yes Les, it does say 2007. My messup. Thanks for responding.
