I\'m at .71 percent done after a week, which seems like it\'s taking forever. I\'ve also got 3126 hours \'til completion. Which would seem to be a few months (I\'m assuming that\'s normal). Can anyone tell if something is amiss? (The library is installed, etc.) |

You\'ve got your computers hidden, so I can only give you a vague, general answer. My Intel P4 3.2GHz computer, running 24/7, with no other projects, shows about 1300 hours for a sulphur model. A 3D model of the Earth\'s atmosphere, at half hour intervals, for 15 years, takes a long time to compute. And there are 5 \'sets\' of these 15 year periods. So you have to settle in for the \'long haul\' on this project. |

You\'ve got your computers hidden, so I can only give you a vague, general answer. Sorry about that -- during my OS install, the computer decided to name itself with my name. :) Here\'s the info: Machine Name: iBook G4 Machine Model: PowerBook6,5 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.25 GB Bus Speed: 133 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.8.7f1 I just wanted to be sure that it really was supposed to take that long. I usually run this about 6-12 hours a day (home computer). Thank you. |

I missed something before: BOINC isn\'t very good at estimating the time to complete. It\'s best to just wait until you get a few weeks done, and make your own estimate. E.G. My machine is currently running spinup, and at the half way point of 2 months of running, BOINC\'s \'to go\' hours was a lot more than it\'s \'already run\' hours. |
