in my CPDN project with hasdm3 4.13 client version I find a wrong percentage in progress. I have 30:43:25 CPU time and 398:35:56 To completion. This is about 7,5 %. But the Progress column is 4,09% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I have an AMD Sempron 2700 with 1GB RAM. Windows XP 2nd Ed |

The \'to compeletion\' is an estimate. The percent is more likely to be correct, however it is also an estimate. The only figure mentioned that has a really good chance of being acurate is the CPU time. Even that one will confuse some participants since it is CPU time and not wall time.

I think your reply is not quite right. All the other projects work correctly. Why only CPDN isn\'t right ??? |

I think Keck_Komputers is exactly right. If you could finish a slab model in 420 hours CPU time with a Sempron 2700+, that would be a record by a long shot. BOINC 4.7x and above have given very wrong estimated time to completions with CPDN. |

Well it used to be that CPDN was the only project where the old system of projecting completion times worked well. In an attempt to improve things for most projects, changes in BOINC made CPDN get worse. Other project rapidly do a lot of work units and uses the information from completed work units to improve the estimate. With CPDN it takes a long time to complete a work unit, so it takes a long time for the estimate to improve. Visit BOINC WIKI for help And join BOINC Synergy for all the news in one place. |
