Dreamshaper,
It looks like you got that last work unit during the slew of big work units we all got. Way to persevere through it!  You should get some smaller ones now.Graham, It was fun designing them. Now that I know what I'm doing maybe I'll design a few more.  Banners-for-hire, Ripcat |

Dreamshaper, It looks like you got that last work unit during the slew of big work units we all got. Way to persevere through it! You should get some smaller ones now.Blecch! If the number of coloured "blobs" on the graphic mean anything, my new unit is way tougher than the one I finished and I won't come close to finishing before my 2 weeks of runtime are up  ...and my rig is only slightly below the Grid's comparison setup...Too early to make any projections though....

Hi DreamshaperTry this 1 Take the completed Task CPU Time and convert it into Minutes by multiplying the Hours by 60 then adding the odd Minutes 2 Devide that by the Task Execution Progress being the Percentage Complete 3 Multiply the result by 100, being the Percentage 4 Then devide it by 60, being the Minutes Example: (1) Task CPU Time so far = 8 Hrs 16 mins = 480 Mins (2) Percent Complete = 25.6% devided into 480 Minutes = 18.75 minutes (3) 18.75 minutes x 100 = 1875 minutes (4) 1875 minutes devided by 60 minutes = 31 Hours 25 Minutes Answer: 31 Hours required to complete this example This may help to give you a better idea of how long it will take to complete Or you can download and use this if you have Microsoft Excel: http://www.volny.cz/ivangan/WCGWUPE.xls It is a bit more accurate than my calculation Regards |

 -27C here now.......... I wonder if the Turks & Caicos still are interested in joining Canada. Its brrrrrrrrrrrrr cold cold cold.Rudi and Ripcat; I have to agree with Orca - Canadians have the ultimate overclockers dream!  STick the whole shebang out on the porch and crank it up. I'm absolutely, positively green with envy  . Not that I want to live in -27 degrees. Having lived in Fairbanks, AL and in Greenland I have had more than my share of cold, the white stuff is nice to look at - on post cards, I'm moving toward the equator - I buying an apartment size deep freezer and sticking my CPU into that. Stay warm friends. Paws P.S. Good luck catching the slashdot gang, get them good. |

Hi DreamshaperTry this <snip> Appreciate it, but I figured it out while waiting on my last unit. The problem is that I need the Task Execution Progress to be higher than 0.0% before I can do the math...and really need 5% before I can get a reasonable ballpark estimate...Anyone notice any correlation to the size (complexity? number of coloured blobs?) and the runtime needed to process it?

Stay warm friends. Paws P.S. Good luck catching the slashdot gang, get them good. Hairy, I joked about putting the whole shebang outside in a previous team thread but was advised against it by Larry Fine because the recommended operating temperature range for a hard drive is 5C to 55C. He did suggest trying flash memory instead of the hard drive. I guess you can get a 1 gigabyte flash memory card and load up windows and the agent only. Another benefit of using the flash memory instead of a hard drive is power savings. Anyways, I'd rather have my cpu overheat that be subjected to extreme cold because the heating bills get unreasonable and I can get the computer repaired under warranty. Chillin, Ripcat |

Canada surpasses 7 million point milestone! Keep on crunching gang!!!!!
 I'm not a big fan of points but thought I'd mention it anyways! Many thanks go to all those with low Overall Performance scores! Canada cruncher, Ripcat |
