HCMD2 process a bit differently than other WUs. Basically what happens is that if after 6 hours you are not 60% finished it will stop. If you are more than 60% it will continue until it finishes or you hit 12 hours, whichever comes first. The reason for this structure is that there are some "positions" which are very difficult to calculate and it sounds like you may have hit a couple of them in a row somtime after you passed the 60% marker. I wouldn't worry, just let it keep crunching.

The progress you could see is (what I see on a 6.10 client)

- If a 6 hour [first soft limit on run time] initial job, mostly parent tasks, they'll run to show 100% at the end of the 6th hour, and if internally reaching more than 60% of the positions, resetting to a percent of total positions.

- If individual positions happen to run longer, the Time to Complete will increase.

In this case 83% suggests that this job will cut off at the position that is underway at the end of the 12 hour [second hard limit on run time]

I've had several parents just now that ran varying times, but completed all positions in the jobs through batch 289. For example:

the 95711 is a slow duo centrino suggesting that work is lighter in this series.

Question/Request: Any volunteers willing to write up the full rule book from observations, so we can paste it into the FAQ's?

thanks
