No other project that I've run has task completion times of a single project range from a couple of hundred seconds to 864,000* seconds (*upper limit timeout if I understand correctly). That's a ratio from slowest to fastest of over 4,000! What is it about this project's crunching that produces such wildly varying runtimes? Win P.S ATLAS is cool...and for now the only LHC project I allow. ID: 52270 · Reply Quote

What is it about this project's crunching that produces such wildly varying runtimes?... It's a result of the scientific input which you get (by random) from the backend queues.
