A suggestion for the initial estimate of tasks 2 through N of NCI tasks for any particular application is to use the mean of the elapsed wall time for all tasks for that application. Note that this would only apply while the reported % complete is 0.

I changed things so that for NCI apps, it will use an estimate based on elapsed time / fraction done If fraction_done is zero, it will show --- -- David On 23-Apr-2013 1:32 PM, Carl Christensen wrote: > That's cool.
