I have run Seti, Einstein, Qah and others with much success. But by comparison CPDN takes a long time. The version that I am currently running does not need BOINC and seems to be running quite happily. I am wondering if I should let it run completely or should I stop it now and go back to the other DP\'s. |

The models DO need BOINC. Unless you\'re talking about the pre-BOINC slab models, and they\'re now obsolete. Climate models by their very nature take a long time to complete. The latest are 160 years long, and a combined hindcast and forecast. Most of the other projects just take a large chunck of data and search it to see if a certain sequence is in there. This project takes a small amount of numbers, inserts them into a supercomputer program as starting values, and them starts creating a 3D model of the atmosphere and ocean. As to whether you stay or leave, that\'s up to you. |
