Mine expects around 3200 hrs. Think one of my other computers maybe 4500 hrs or more (little slower). What are other processing times to completion that other getting (for normal single/dual processor CPU\'s). Please don\'t give me any super or 16 way CPU\'s, I would hate to hear someone only has 100 hours to process 1 wu. Thanks in advance. siifred SIIFRED ID: 25042 · Reply Quote

The Boinc estimate is fairly unreliable, it\'s better to calculate it via the %complete versus the cpu time so far. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own.

When I do that my old AMD Duron 1,8 GHz will use about 5150 hrs :-) 4,5s/Ts but anyway, nice to be in Have a nice day ID: 25065 · Reply Quote

Prediciton for a new ones are about 1300 hours which is quite accurate. Completion Times gets corrected once you finish some models. But method suggested by Mike are most accurate. <i>phpBB forum for CPDN, all are </i><a href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board">invited</a> ID: 25070 · Reply Quote

After 1700 hours with 400 to go, one WU crashed and in trying to get it to restart again I lost Boinc and the other WU at 1100 hours with about 800 to go. Both the new WU\'s say 1170 hours. On my AMD Opteron 285 (2.6 GHz) completion time is 990 hours, after 340 hours one WU is 16% done (340 is not 16% of 990, so the WU will go much longer). Hopefully I will be able to see these ones through to completion. ID: 25330 · Reply Quote
