My Windows box chewed through less than 20 tasks and then started up the backup E@H which I have turned back to NNT since I don't run Windows 24/7 anymore.

On my Linux box, I have suspended WCG to allow 2 S@H tasks to start running.

A dribble here, a trickle there, and occasionally a small gulley washer. But nothing like it used to be in "the good old days" :)

I think I got a couple. I was actually rather shocked to see the work but they came and went quickly and were GPU units for the most part.

I too had some work units send to me.

Glad I could help to mop up and turn the lights out.

MANY THANKS for continuing to accept and process work units!
I have now reached my milestone of 50,000,000
-and-
I am still crunching! :)

Congrats! And you were lucky to be able to! :)

Thanks! Yes, I was fortunate I got there. I knew it would be close based on my backlog of pending wu's, and it wasn't until after 31-March that I knew for sure in-process wu's would continue to be accepted.

Just look what you are crunching to be sure you work is actually helping the close of the Science DB ASAP.
Or you could only been crunching already validated/invalid WU what is a waste of crunching & electric power.
Unless what you are looking is just for the credits of course.
Concentrate on crunching the WU who has not validated and requires the extra wing men.

WU like this are the target: (i use some of mine as example since your hosts are hidden)

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3953928229

WU like this are a waste of resources since they already has the canonical result.

Yes i know is a tedious work. But that concentrate your host crunching power where is rely needed.

. . Unless the Berkeley crew are prepared to pull the plug on outstanding Tasks and 'retire' them we still need to process those 'waste of time' tasks to close them out.

Instead of process you could simply aborted. That will have the same effect. And you not loose precious crunching & energy.

Well now!

At least that makes it clear I'll go way over 7.5M, and can also put them on hold for a bit and clear that MilkyWay@home queue that's about to time out otherwise. Those I had left so far would have just, barely, put me above that, and with these... suggestions to cancel WUs that already have 2 results, thought I'd end up just short regardless, but as it is, will go through these to get to those that actually need more results first.

. . Good luck getting the owners of these dud hosts to actually do something like that, I doubt if any of them read the message threads. They will just ignore the whole thing until something or someone says Bye Bye.

I understand is something impossible but is the simple true.
If the canonical result was already reached anything after that is simple waste of our resources.

Then take a closer look at your surprise first. Lots of noisy WU that need a super-quorum were sent today. These barely bring any credit (0.5 .. 3 credits per WU). Fingers crossed!
[EDIT:] Got such a batch today too. Half of them finish within seconds and a dozen of the remaining ones will finish early (overflowing after maybe 20...50 % of the regular chirp rates).

Yeah. I got a bunch too, but only about 30 of them bombed out. It'll give me a couple more days on my slow GPU, unfortunately, that's the type of work unit sent.

Most of what I've gathered is to take the load off the database during this final push, so we can get these work units validated, assimilated and into the science database with as little load or interruption as possible, so they aren't doing things like the daily to ease that burden.

It's the end of SETI as we know it.

April 20 now about 5 days.
By May Day there won't be hardly anything left.

April 30 we are now waiting for timeouts. Up to 27 days now.
Seems like the ones in the field have been sent to users who shut down.
May be time to set deadline to a week to return on anything going out from now.
