WUProp Hours for MT Apps

New question:

How are hours calculated for multithreaded apps? Based on a very small sample, it's looking like (at least for Yafu) WUProp is counting the time on each core. I've had a (i.e., one) Yafu WU run for just under a couple hours on a 6-core machine, and WUProp has documented ~10 hours. Is this right? Or am I crazy?

[And yes, I know I'm asking a lot of WUProp questions. But all y'all got me into badge chasing for this damned project, so now I need to know everything to maximize my output. I blame all of you (especially zombie67, Bryan, and Mumps). :p]

Yep, it keeps track of total time :D I'm thinking it didn't do that initially but it was fixed to accommodate MT.

BTW, if you are running Yafu this THREAD is a MUST READ. I threw up 900k in a single day and several million over a couple day period until credit new caught up to me :D

Here is my app_config:

<app_config>
<app_version>
<app_name>yafu</app_name>
<plan_class>mt</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>1.2</avg_ncpus>
<cmdline>--nthreads 1</cmdline>
</app_version>
</app_config>

The ncpus is a ratio ... read the post to figure out how to set it. What this does is get the MT tasks to run in a single thread ... blows the mind of the credit system :D

Thank you for that info - that's what I was hoping. Yay!

Holy crap... if what that thread said is even half true for me, this will be fantastic! Many thanks! I had no idea...
