Calibration tool: calibration monitoring and control

This page lists all of the calibrations that are currently running on the server and provides information such as the number of iterations that have been simulated. A link is also provided to cancel the calibrations that are running in your own workspace.

Accessing this page

This page can be accessed at any time by selecting "Calibration Tool" from the BCal menu.

Description

Provided there is at least one calibration running on the server A table is shown. This table lists all of the calibrations that are currently running on the BCal server machine. The following information is given.

Title - the title of the project being calibrated.
Owner - the BCal user who owns the project.
Status - the status of the project, which is ether:

Submitted - waiting for calibration to start (see notes),
Calibrating - calibration is running,
Convergence Checking - convergence checking is being performed,
Post Processing - the calibration is complete and post processing is taking place, or
Cancelled - the calibration has been cancelled and will shortly be removed from the list.

Started - the date and time the calibration was started.
Progress - the number of iterations that have been simulated.
Check point - the number of iterations at which convergence checking will begin.

For each calibration process the "Cancel" button is also shown. If you are the owner of the project, selecting this allows you to cancel that calibration process. The calibration cancellation page will be shown.

Notes

When a project is submitted for calibration, the status is first of all set to submitted. Within a few seconds a test will be made on the current load of the server. If the load is low, the calibration will start immediately (the status will change to calibrating). If, however, the load is high, the project will be placed in a queue. When the load on the server decreases, the first project in the queue will automatically be started. The projects are displayed on the page in the following order: calibrating projects, 1st in queue, 2nd in queue and so on.
