1) Questions and Answers : Windows : 3000 hour WU (Message 3681) Posted 10 Sep 2004 by David Dyer-Bennet Post: Ah, so the problem is that my new-this-year computer, bought for working on big Photoshop jobs, is a badly outdated slow computer. Got it. I'm seeing 1200 hours on my first workunit. In a realistic scenario (i.e. NOT assuming it runs 24hrs a day on my machine!) that's, like 200 days.
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Hong much time do I need for crunching one workunit? (Message 3060) Posted 5 Sep 2004 by David Dyer-Bennet Post: So the progress bar is wildly uneven, and the initial estimates are insanely high (a couple of orders of magnitude)? I've now got more than 45 hours invested into my first workunit (congrats, you guys are benefitting from the ongoing confusion at seti and the predictor@home people), and it still shows over 1100 hours of work remaining. This is, frankly, absurd; find a way to cut the workunits down into smaller pieces! (Windows 2k, AMD 2800+ processor, 512MB ram)
