If you can mention what is this program and on what computer you solved, it will
be appreciate.

Time is good.

And in how many moves this position expected to be solved?

I tried it by selective search 13 moves deep but, after waiting around 6
minutes, disconnected. In 10 moves selective could find nothing. By brute force
even 5 moves lead me already to 5 minutes search. No mate existe in five.
Thought that maybe it is some 20 moves position that is, anyway, beyond my
actual program.

If somebody would like to solve average positions (not too easy but not too
complicated), below is one.

[D]qn1kbrqn/n1nqn1bp/bN1N1N1N/B1N1Nn1B/N1N1N1N1/8/1R1Q1R2/3K4 w - -

Mate existe for sure in 11 moves. Response was found by selective search and
minimal number of moves is unknown.

Leonid.
