Time estimation bar

There are several tests for which it is difficult to predict the duration because there are many factors impacting the complexity. The two main tests concerned are the model map and the efficiency map tests. We have implemented a method to evaluate the expected run-time based on historical data of previous runs. This method considers the following data:

Number of currents computed.
Dependency on the rotor position.
Thermal mode on magnets.
Non-skewed vs skewed design.
Design complexity.
Distribution settings.

This information is displayed in the status bar, along with the progress information about the significant intermediate steps of the current test. You can see an illustration below.

2	Information about the progress.
3	Estimated remaining time.

In addition to this, if the distribution is enabled, we also developed a method that evaluates the most appropriate distribution number to ensure that the Flux job can be safely run on your host and that the distribution factor is well-suited for your design size.
