At the moment there is only one type of WU available in CPDN. It will take a long time because simulating the earth's climate even in a simplified form over 45 years is a mammoth task.

In future there will be different experiments, placing other demands on your machine. The bad news is that they will add different levels of sophistication, and it seems unlikely that there will ever be a model which is less demanding.
