I am new to climateprdiction@home, however, I have been doing Einstein@home for about a week now. It takes a few hours to complete a work project on Einstein. Yet, for climatepredictor, the current time to completetion on the project I have is 6950:41:40 !!!!Did I do something wrong? or is that just how long it takes to get work done on climatepredictor??

That is not an unreasonable estimate of the time needed for a model. Most likely everything is ok.

BOINC WIKI

BOINCing since 2002/12/8

At cpdn you\'re not searching through a file of data looking for a certain pattern.
You are creating a 3D model of the Earth\'s atmosphere, at hour hour intervals, for 5 15 year periods.
This takes a LONG time.

Worse still, your computer doesn\'t have enough memory, it is using an OS that is no longer supported, and your computer is too slow for this project.

I\'d recommend that you forget about cpdn and concentrate on Einstein.

As Les said, WindowsME is not supported in CPDN and the model will crash before you get very far into it. I\'m not sure what processor you are running this on as BOINC can\'t ID it, but the large WUs of CPDN need a pretty hefty CPU to finish in a reasonable amount of time, at least 1 GHz for these longer models we are now running.
