This is certainly odd behavior

Here's a screenshot I took just before I started writing this post: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0By6CzZzvGYZ5MmYxMjgxZDQtNDgzMS00ODg4LTkwNzUtYzJiOTRmNjE0OWY4&hl=en&authkey=CI3N4_MG ID: 46116 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The units were 1500 * 3000 * 3500 = 15750000000 > (2^32 -1 = 4294967295). So the progress is calculated instead of counting steps progress out of the actual total steps, it calculates out of what you get after the overflow, 2865098112. All of the steps actually happen since the actual integral is done one dimension at a time, so it appears to cycle around a few times reaching over 100%. ID: 46117 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Tonight I started noticing a workunit going over 100%. I was about to drop the workunit but I thought I had better check the forum first. Glad I did. Is this happening to enough users that it would warrant a comment on the main project page, so people don't dump good units? Thanks again. ID: 46126 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
