Not sure when it started (it been this way for some time), but the "Progress" data doesn't even come close to matching the "Remaining (Estimated)" data in the BOINC task manager. For example, I have a CEP2 WU (this applies to ANY WU) that states the following:
----------------------------------------Progress = 31.655% Elapsed = 5:56:24 Remaining = 1:17:15 CEP2 WUs on my machine generally take between 4.5 to 6.5 hours to complete so the "Remaining" data seems aprox what I would expect, but the "Progress" data is WAY off... it is no way near to matching what the "Remaining" data is showing. "Progress" should be someplace around 85%-90%. Any ideas why these two bits of data are not matching/coinciding ? Thanks, CJSL Crunching for a better future... |

One of those days, but express progress time as percent of 18 hours , the coded cut-off, and you may be close. Mine run back to back about 2 to 3 hours for all 16 jobs and the percent to progress ratio is worse. There's so much in the agent time to progress computing guesstimating, trying to cater for so many projects, exceptions and quirks, it's daunting task to get anything consistently proper. In the case of cep2 the programmers could introduce a 'whatever is bigger'. Either the percent to time or the number of completed jobs out of the 16, something along those lines. Given the variable runtime of each job of the 16, try code that.
Saw in the development notes a new parameter is coming that can be added to the app_config in case the progress is considered 'accurate' for an application. Would not know if this would help cep2 or not or for that matter on any wcg application. |

I noticed that remaining time is much less accurate since i updated to the new version of the agent.
----------------------------------------It was updated faster with the old 6 version

Lavaflow... you may be on to something... it makes sense about the "Progress" being the percentage of the 18 hour cut off limit. I was trying to compare "Progress" vs "Remaining" and it appears that they are two different concepts. It would be helpful if the title of the "Progress" were a little more descriptive... something like "Progress to cutoff limit" or something like that. Thanks for that observation... it makes a little more sense now.
