2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Jittery about estimated time to completion (Message 28699) Posted 14 May 2007 by old_user450668 Post: I have recently joined ClimatePrediction and would like a little reassurance about the estimated run time of my WU. It\'s 3000+ hours, which I\'ve guestimated to between 4 and 5 months of 24/7 crunching. I truly don\'t have a problem with that sort of runtime. From chatter on my team\'s (KWSN!) message board, I knew that climate models took a l - o - n - g time and deliberately put the project on a very stable linux box for exactly that reason. My jittery-ness (is that a word?) stems from a concern that the BOINC manager might reach some threshold heretofore unknown to me and abort the WU for exceeding a runtime limit. Is there a preference setting that I should change to avoid this problem, or is it even a problem?
