Yeah, I don't see how p2p would work for this either. Everybody gets
different models to chew on. The website mentioned something about
peer to peer, but it sounded more like a social club. I'm just not
clear on what you mean by "trickle". Maybe I didn't see that page.
Sorry, that's just their terminology. You download a model which is
divided into 72 time periods called "trickles". When you finish a
trickle, your client informs the server and you get a credit so you
can show your friends. They idea is so people don't have to wait 6
weeks to see progress.
It looks like, for one of the sulphur cycle models, my computer (2.5
GHz, Intel, Linux) should finish a trickle in a day or so. I got this
model runing 18 hours ago, so I hope to see my first credit come in
today :)
Cheers,
Daniel.
Ah! Well at this rate my somewhat older box looks like it will take
about 42 hours to complete each trickle.
Save the whales! ... or the penguins... or something. :-P
