can we assume that any outstanding pendings which were run under boinc 3.xx will not be resolved?

For the moment I would say that they will not ... at least not in the short term. Again, just guessing, if they are doing as Matt said, and running the WU (or some of them at least) through both SETI@Home Classic and SETI@Home Powred by BOINC ... well, they have the science results that they need and will not have to process them again.

If they want a fire test (on the other hand) this is something that they could use to kill the back end processes again.

:)

My best guess is that they are dead and we will not see them revived. Then again, the queue has not been emptied fully ... so there may still be some in there lurking for us ...

Just checked properly and I have 91 wu's still pending and 29 with 0.Will I eventually get credit for this lot?

Hi

Rach, dont worry when the WUs are ok you will get credits.
I have WUs since July that dont get credits, but they should be sent out again.
When the third valid result comes in credits will be given.

If this is may be the case, then everything still showing pending prior to August 29th (Major version 4 release) can be considered dead. :-(

And they may be ...

We just don't know. I am only guessing. But there are strong words by the BOINC team that there are going to be cases with BOINC where you will process work but will not earn credit. We can be grumpy about it, but it is not going to change.

I can hope that with the process now working as planned and seems to be fully caught up that there may be an effort to go back and "clean-up" those outstanding WU. But my best guess is that they will not from the perspective of the science that they are trying to do with SETI@Home is not dependent on getting a result for each and every work unit.
