I'm running a work unit which was supposedly about .46 done an hour ago.
----------------------------------------Stats now: current CPU time: 41261.700000 fraction done: 0.036756 estimated CPU time remaining: 149620.981437 Something's very fishy with this project. The current CPU/estimated CPU/fraction done on the other projects are usually within a few % of the figure that you'd get by calculating one from the other two, but these are nonsense. edit: This project appears to run one process, end it (time reported in "final CPU time"), then start another process. Once that's happened, current CPU time includes the original process, while fraction done doesn't, so fraction done becomes useless and estimated CPU time remaining becomes totally bogus.

Where 99.99% look for progress is the BOINCmgr Tasks view and not in the client_state.xml.... what does it say there?
----------------------------------------Handling the client_state.xml while BOINC is running is asking for trouble.... the file is constantly altered, renamed and newly written.

The figures I'm talking about are as reported from boinc_cmd, not looking directly at XML files.
----------------------------------------However: It looks like it had a problem writing a checkpoint file, so started from the beginning again, which is what screwed up the progress stats! [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 17, 2007 3:04:06 AM] |
