I think the majority of the ghost units, have now been completed and validated by one of the duplicate replications, however there are probably still some, possibly many, Ghosts in progress

It probably won't be worthwhile doing any personal ghost recovery, because most of those units have been Validated, and are not needed.

A few days ago, the number of Workunits still awaiting results was about 0.12% so there might be about 650 still needed, but the project staff might have processed the last few locally by now

I wonder if anyone still has any Pendings or Inconclusives left ?

I just looked through the top 20 hosts by RAC and there are 0 Pendings and 0 Inconclusives
between any of them !

4 of the top 20 by RAC still have several thousand tasks In Progress, another 4 or 5 just have a few hundred each, I'm guessing that Most of them are probably Ghosts, because they have been in contact with the servers in the last 24 hours.

It probably won't be worthwhile doing any personal ghost recovery, because most of those units have been Validated, and are not needed.

Also you can't do that anyway if you have no results to report.

The ghost recovery 'ritual' makes your client report the same result twice by interrupting the first request before the client receives the server's reply so the client won't receive the server acknowledgement and will try to report the same results again in the next request. This works because the scheduler logic interprets the twice returned result as indication of failed scheduler request that could have created ghosts, so it triggers a ghost recovery.

There has been 1 task "Ready to send" for the last few hours, since around 13:30 UTC today, according to SSP and Munin.

I think it is almost certainly a glitch.

Does anyone still have any WU's that still need Validation ?

It's still there. I suspect you are correct in assuming it is a glitch.

I haven't had any WUs needing Validation since sometime on May 7. Certainly not me.

Now it is gone (actually about 7 hours ago according to the graphics).

On 3rd May the "Results out in the field" dropped below 1,000,000

I see that we have reached less than 1 million results out in the field.

Meow.

On May 9th it was down to 750,000
On May 15th we passed 500,000

Later today, we are likely to drop below 250,000, with "Results returned and awaiting validation" now below 333,000 and "Results waiting for db purging" now below 425,000

Over the same period, AstroPulse Results out in the field have dropped from around 1200 down to 13

While the absolute number of MB Tasks was much higher than AP, i think that's a good indication that the MB deadlines were excessively long.

My last 3 validate errors will all time out and clear in the next 36hrs. :-)

Cheers.

. . So now it is a waiting game to see how long Setizens will keep checking to see if anything new develops here ...

? ?

I can't believe how unbearably slow the end is here. One would think this data would already be computed, compiled, collated, checked, and complete by now.

There are lots of tasks due to time out in the next 48 hours, including quite a few from the 8+ week turnaround "1337" Ryzen.
I see that it now has less than 20k tasks in progress. It seems to be returning tasks a couple of hours before the deadline in order to get lots of 3rd 4th or 5th places.
https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=8652081&offset=60&show_names=0&state=4&appid=

The final tasks in progress have deadlines of 25 July or later, although I think there will probably be only a few thousand left by then.

Results out in the field is now below 250k, about 24 hours later than I expected. The curve seems to be flattening at the moment, but I think it will get a bit steeper when a lot of timeouts from the last few days of Original Replication arrive in the next few days.

Wow! That's a good determined effort!

Is there perhaps some gaming strategy at play to hold out for the top spot in the RAC listings as everyone else runs out of WUs?...

All a game?!


Perhaps after the final WU completes, the RAC table should be recalculated to take an average across the previous months?...

Happy crunchin',

My last "validate error" will be cleared in around 3.5hrs. :-)

Other than that I still have 377 valid tasks that were validated a month or so ago waiting on unnescessary additional wingmen to either finish, timeout or to get through their glut of hoarded tasks. :-(

Cheers.

I'm finally down to just Valids, and the majority of those should be gone by the middle of June.
But there are a few that won't be gone till early July.

Hi Wiggo,

Yeah, me too. I still have 125 valid tasks.

I see that Mr. 1337 made it to the top on the leader boards. At this point in time, it MEANS NOTHING. lol ;) Doesn't even deserve bragging rights, not when one cheats to get there. ;)

Have a great day! :)

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

438 valid still, all other categories zero. Does anyone have any pending or inconclusive, or have we finished?

Only 1475 valids left here.
