I just got a WU which is planned for 80 HOURS of CPU time @ P-III 500 MHz(instead of 13 hours). thats an awful lot :P.. what are your 'record' scores of CPU time?

I've noticed it too. But it seems like just the estimation mechanism is whacked -- my work units still take about as long as they did before. My home machine's estimates are hovering around 85-86 hours where it actually takes 13-14.

i to have been getting long and longer times to take to complete from 2 hours to 30 hours ...
but all take the same time to do ...
so just another glych in the pot :)






punto....aka Bobuk

This is becoming a well pronounced error. My estimated completion times, and it is only ESTIMATED, are just under 25 hours. However I'm still completing them in the normal time of 3 hours.

ok, thank you for the replies, i understand it now :)

~~~you need from 2 hours 10 min. to 2 hours 40 min.

So? ;)

Sound like you folks definately have some kind of problem there. I get estimates of 3 hours and 47 minutes, with actual computation times of 3 hours 52 minutes on avereage. Do you have other processor-intensive tasks running that may be set to a higher priority than Seti?

There was indeed something strange: since a few days the estimated time was 6 time longer then normal.
Berkeley made some changes some 2 days ago and on my PC, as well as on some other one, the very first one with "normal" estimated processing time came in around midnight UTC yesterday.
