Hi Pravein,

the reason that the Evaluation (as seen by the user) is N/A is that the
submission is not scored, so the user does not see any information. To
score submissions you need to start cmsScoringService.

Regarding the times, the first is user time, the second is wall clock time.
CMS (as I guess most other graders) use user time to check against the time
limit, but also set a hard time limit on wall clock time to avoid spending
a lot of time on an evaluation blocked in I/O, for example. For the default
task types, CMS sets a hard wall clock time limit to (2 * time_limit + 1)
seconds.

Cheers,
Stefano

Hi,

I wanted to set the time-limit of a particular program based on the
standard completion time in a server. I could see that Evaluation seen by
user is N/A. and the other evaluation carries two times. Can anyone please
explain how to interpret the actual execution time? BTW, its a batch type
task.
