Orthos question...

Its nothing about how long etc, I'm just wondering its got a bit on the GUI of Orthos saying Rounds: 0/0 or 1/1...

How many tests does it have to do to complete a single round and how long does this go on for or is there no limit??

Good question. Never thought about it.

A round is when all the fft lengths have been tested for the set time. You can see the fft lengths under custom -> fft lengths. Small runs from 8K up to the size of the L1 cache (64 on my opty), large does L2 cache (128 to 1024 for me).

I did notice the different sizes, but wasnt sure what that had to do with it though!!

Just thought about it and wondered what was the longest anyone had ever let it run for...

Well I did 12hrs and got 1/1, I think it takes about 11hours to do one round.

I saw one round at just under 10 hours I think, but I was just wondering how long people really left this program running for... Or more to the point, what was the longest time anyone had left it??
