Did they run to 100% or have they been finished earlier?
...

I can answer it myself now, they end somewhere between 95.5% and 95.8% - I finished all 6 before a second one had been sent out and it gave my RAC temporarily a nice boost :-)


You can easily check the line in stderr.txt in slot directory, find this line:

8*800^914450-1, bit: 50000 / 8818828 [0.56%]. Time per bit: 34.238 ms.


Calculate 8818828 * 34.238 ms / 1000

and you have a nearly good end result in runtime. This can only be used on windows hosts.

Thanks, I will use that formula next time to fight my (not the core client's) deadline panic :-)

The last stderr line seems to be even more interesting (taken from an active run) :

    8*800^951038-1, bit: 8250000 / 9171677 [89.95%]. Time per bit: 34.432 ms.


BoincView shows only somewhat more than 60.5% (in yellow, my color setting for "will miss deadline")

p.s.: If the wrapper could read that value, it could report that one to the core client. That's how the RNA wrapper does it - unfortunately the RNA applications don't have such a linear loop characteristic so the values are still not too exact there. Even though I do know the expected numbers of loops exactly, the progress line is not straight.

It is getting harder to keep the deadline ...

    8*800^973840-1, bit: 3300000 / 9391576 [35.13%]. Time per bit: 147.026 ms. <= oops!

Its better to disable HT. --> runtime ~392210s

But only 8 concurrent tasks then instead of 16, overall that would be a loss.

I guess I need an AVX machine some day :-/

Yes, I have a good CPU but only AVX + OC, AVX2 is 20-40% faster with no OC :(

You have a 4 day deadline + as long as the second result came back you have a valid result too.
