6646

You would think these have been reissued by now and maybe they have been. But there's the chance they got assigned to drive by crunchers or part time crunchers or just some old and slow cruncher.

I've still got several that will be timed out in the next 2 weeks due to them being sent to PC's that joined SETI, but they have never contacted the servers again.

Cheers.

Message 1401091 - Posted: 9 Aug 2013, 16:08:19 UTC - in response to Message 1396143.  

29 Jul 2013, 9:27:09 UTC, and we have 11,812 left.

The last countdown we had was with Astropulse v505. At the time, I did some linear projections to predict the date when the last one would disappear, but re-sends of the last few threw that out by several weeks, despite a database purge by the project administrators when there were 39 left. (As the numbers decrease, so does the linearity.)

So, this time I will only say that the last one won't have been crunched before 9 August 2013 at 13:23 UTC, and probably quite some time after that!

That time has passed and there are still 6307. Care to make a new guess?

Have a look at your wingman's stderr_txt file. I'll bet you find it's an errored result from a rogue 560Ti or similar and the resend to the third computer has timed out.

Then to cut corners, the good result has been "validated" against the bad one and a credit of ~30 given to both.

T.A.

I just read this whole thread, from the beginning, in one shot. For the first time, I checked my current machines and noticed that I have 3 units that are all in the boat you describe above. But looking closer, I see that for one of them, BOTH of us errored out on it. I got a -9 and my original wingmate got a CUFFT. It was apparently only ever sent to one replacement host, which timed out several weeks later. The two of us who returned it got credit of 35.45, which seems odd for both of us having errors.

My linear regression now shows 24 August 2013 at 00:26 UTC. However, as has been noted, there are probably hundreds if not thousands of tasks in the database that have been validated but not deleted. These tasks have arrived in "limbo" for a variety of reasons, and manual intervention will likely be required to clear them.

Out of my 26 remaining, 4 are still waiting validation and at least 3 will be resent again when they time out, the remaining are all in limbo land so they will need to be manually pushed along.

Cheers.

Those tasks, at least all that has been reported back to the servers, *should* not be shown as "in progress" (i.e. "out in the field" on the server status page), but simply as "waiting for db purging" or maybe as "returned and awaiting validation" (both not available on the project status page).

Only timed out tasks might be counted as "in progress", there it could make some sense, since they are indeed still out in the field and theoretically still can be returned. But maybe I expect too much...

I checked my other computer and it has one in similar condition: I got 4 spikes, other host got a CUFFT, third host timed out.

I guess the question being begged is, if these are showing as validated, why are they still appearing at all?

Also, just for fun, I'm showing one v6 still in progress.

What has been talked about errored out tasks : I've still got 5 which all were validated and my wingman also returned in time, but for no apparent reason there was a resend which timed out on all 5 (from May 2nd) on so those tasks "in limbo" could actually be quite high indeed if most hosts have these system hiccup's....

If you look at the Task Details/stderr info on each task, you notice that for each WorkUnit, one of the original tasks ran to completion, and the other, a GPU task, errored, and was resent. I remember right after v7 roll-out, there were problems with some of the new GPU aps, so Eric ran a script to validate and grant credit to such WorkUnits. I think it was supposed to run only on v7 work, but it got a few MB Enhanced, too. It just so happened that all 5 of the resends for your WorkUnits went to crunchers that went AWOL and timed-out but have not been resent again. Probably going to sit until all the Enhanced/v6 workunits are done, and Eric/Matt/Jeff go in to clean up the database.

This could take forever :-)

It went down almost 400 in a day. At that rate, it shouldn't be much over another week.

One of them just timed out and went to me. I'd expect to return it within 3 days.

For the past six days, the average "rate of return" has been 230/day. At that rate, the current prediction is 2 September.

It will, as long as tasks already validated never get deleted.

I still have 1 out there waiting to be reissued after it times out on the 5 Sep 2013, 18:03:10 UTC.

Though 20 of my valids that should've cleared months ago have not yet, so I'm not sure how accurate that number is.

Cheers.

Congratulations. I haven't had any MB 6 WUs for months now. Take a screenshot, and save it for posterity.

It's ready and transmitted, worth around 120 cobblestones! :)

For some reason, I got 4 V6 work units this morning. All crunched, reported and credit awarded.
