So I'm looking at something that will finish in 50 hours or so? Is that normal for Theory tasks? I've never had a Theory task run that long before. (I've also never seen it run dire-default before).

The set of input parameters you describe is part of a so called "run". The current Theory revision 2390 lists 66058 runs which need between less than 5 min and nearly 10 d (average 136.3 min). See: http://mcplots-dev.cern.ch/production.php?view=revision&rev=2390 You may also check further information by clicking on the text links or the graphics on that page. Some downloads will take a while, be patient. ID: 46590 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 7 Apr 2022, 12:25:37 UTC pp jets 8000 350 - pythia8 8.301 dire-default ---> 64 attempts 37 success 6 failures 21 unknowns It seems to be a heavy job. Your number of events (52000) is already reduced. Normally attempts start with 100000 events. Your task will be killed, when it has not finished after 10 days. ID: 46591 · Reply Quote
