Project wu times, Which has the shortest ?

I usually run seti,

Started Einstein again, it downloaded 5 wu's estimates 40:35 to complete each wu.

Any other projects have wu's that run quicker ?

chess960 has wu that run a couple min on a modern machine.

Heres some completion times (cpu seconds) from an AMD64 3700 Sandiego for example

With Rosetta, you can set the run time as short as 1 hour.

Pirates@home’s WUs are also very short, on the order of a quarter-hour or less, depending on the app. But work is very sporadic there, so it’s not a suitable project for keeping your processors warm.

On a Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz:

ABC @ home takes around 30 minutes.
Tanpaku takes a couple of hours.
Riessel Sieve about an hour and a quarter.
Neuron takes about 2 hours.
SpinHenge takes about an hour.
Malaria Control takes about an hour and a half.
SZTAKI takes a couple of hours.
SIMAP takes about an hour and a half.
Prime Grid takes about a quartef of an hour.
CPDN takes about 110 days.
Docking takes about 1.5 hours.
Leiden varies from 15 minutes to 15 hours.
Rosetta is settable in hour increments.
QMC takes a couple of days.

BOINC WIKI

SZTAKI takes a couple of hours.

Careful with this one. I've seen them go for days. Very unpredictable.

Prime Grid takes about a quartef of an hour.

This one is a good candidate if you want a very quick, predictable turn around time.

Xtreme Lab also has some real short WU's, been a while since I crunched any though.

Rosetta and Malaria are 2 of my favorites, they both have a very good reason to crunch for. And as others said, Rosetta you can set to go for 1 hour up to 22 or 23 I believe. I just changed my to 6 hours per WU.

Seti Enhanced Beta WU's take about 4 hours on my machine. Thats all I've been getting from there lately. There is an app_info.xml file that Misfit posted so you can get nothing but AstroPulse WU's.

Lots and lots of projects out there. One thing I really like about the design of BOINC, you have ton's and ton's of options available to satisfy your crunching needs.

uFluids will also get some long running work units, watch out.

SZTAKI takes a couple of hours.

Careful with this one. I've seen them go for days. Very unpredictable.

Indeed. My G5 Mac has two WUs at the moment: one of them has been running for 207 hours and is showing 80% done; I suspended the other after 30 h (still showing 0%) to give the first one a better chance of making the deadline.

Prime Grid takes about a quartef of an hour.

My Prime Grid's WU's run in the 3 1/4 minute range.

This one is representative of my others: http://www.primegrid.com/orig/result.php?resultid=13561508

I saw the same thing on my iMac, I said heck with that and dumped it for abc@home beta.

They have a new app version out, which initial tests apparently indicate to be three times as fast (or one-third as slow!) as the previous. Of course that’s no help for the tasks I’ve already started—but you might want to give them another try.
