average time to generate walk for 2-to-16-max-4-direction-changes?

Open thesle3p opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

I was just wondering what the average gen time is for a wordlist based off of 2-to-16-max-4-direction-changes.route with either tiny or full base chars and a English keymap? I had it running for about a week and still no output. I had no issue generating word lists with either base char set for routes up to 2-to-16. How long is it supposed to take to generate a wordlist off of that route?

I would like to know as well. It seems like this is a bug considering that 2-to-16-max-3-direction-changes.route only takes 0.278 seconds to generate.

It never ended on my VM running Ubuntu. But on my macOS host, it finished instantly..

Can confirm I was also having this issue. Attempting to create a list using the 2-to-16-max-4-direction-changes.route on an Ubuntu 18.04 vm. Running this locally on a macOS host seemed to solve the issue.

Was going to issue this as well. It's appears that this processor attempts to generate the options before spitting them out, and thus ends up just spinning uselessly for any of the longer routes. It should really be more of a yield system so that it can just continue spitting out new options.

Does anyone know a solution for this issue on Linux? Unfortunately I do not have access to a macOS host.

Windows will run the process but truncate the result to a very small file.

A workaround is to split the file into smaller pieces. (Smaller than 4096 bytes)

split routes/2-to-16-max-4-direction-changes.route -l 810 This creates four files of 3223, 4050, 4050 and 395 bytes.

I've also tested a file with 4095 bytes, which will work. As soon as a file reaches 4096 bytes, kwp will get stuck.
