* run time requirements per work unit vary notably and range from about 2-12h
* temporary disk space requirement (max. 2GB)
* memory requirement is larger than other projects
* data transfer volume (about 20-80MB upload per work unit, one time download of 200MB) are higher than usual
* CEP2 is the first WCG project to use an external server - your results are directly uploaded to Harvard for optimum efficiency
Please note that it is recommended to leave application in memory (LAIM) while running this project.
