     34== Runtime outliers ==
     35
     36BOINC's mechanisms for estimating job runtimes are based on the assumption
     37that a job's computation is roughly proportional to its FLOPS estimate (workunit.rsc_fpops_est).
     38If there are exceptions to this (e.g. jobs that exit immediately because of unusual input data)
     39these mechanisms will work better if you label them as such.
     40To do this, set
     41{{{
     42result.runtime_outlier = true;
     43}}}
     44in init_result() for these results.

    3346== Example ==
    3447Here's an example in which the output file contains an integer and a double. Two results are considered equivalent if the integer is equal and the doubles differ by no more than 0.01.
