1) Message boards : Number crunching : gigantic work units, is this normal? (Message 8287) Posted 31 Jan 2005 by old_user46877 Post: Well, my P3-750 is probably on maybe 12 hours out of the day, so in theory I'll finish one unit completely in about 7 months. I started the client on my P4-2.8ghz and it's reporting about 700 hours until completion so this one should be feasible. My previous project that I've been donating my CPU time to was SETI@HOME, but after 5 years now I'd say it's time to try something else.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : gigantic work units, is this normal? (Message 8212) Posted 31 Jan 2005 by old_user46877 Post: I have a Pentium3 750mhz computer and the BOINC client is reporting that my current work unit will be completed in roughly 2500 hours (about 100 days of 100% cpu usage). My deadline is sometime in 2006. Is this normal or did i get some weird work unit. It will be quite a feat if I manage to finish one work unit :)
