NAME

runtimeestimator — Batch Job Runtime Estimator

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

runtimeestimator is a simple program to estimate the total runtime of a batch job consisting of multiple runs. Upon initialisation, it initialises a start file with a time stamp. Each time a run is completed, it prints out the estimated total runtime.

ARGUMENTS

The following arguments have to be provided:

start_file

The name of the start file.

total_runs

The total number of runs.

current_run

The current run number that has just been completed.

EXAMPLES

Some netperfmeter usage examples:

runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 0

Initialize runtime estimation (i.e. before the first run). The start file "runtime.dat" is created.

runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 1

Completed run 1 of 100 (i.e. the first run).

runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 5

Completed run 5 of 100.

runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 100

Completed run 100 of 100 (i.e. all runs are complete).
