I agree with Didactylos. Pending validation is normal. I have some machines I only connect to the internet once every 5 or 6 days or so, so any jobs on them will not be turned around very fast. However, they will be done before the deadline. So if another job is waiting validation, so be it. Have patience and the second job will come eventually from us with slower machines or those that can only connect periodically. I am sure once the initial run of jobs settles down, the number awaiting validation will stabilize.

Well, I understood your initial post & the meaning behind it. As someone who has several pages of PV as well (possibly the wingman to one of yours), your small scale OCD is appreciated
 As you said, it is your time to waste & if all you are doing is helping clear out the PV's then more power to you. Personally I have better things to do with my spare time, but if you want to spend yours that way, have at it. |

You can blame me for some of your long PV queues!
 4 of my machines decided to download 10 days worth of work so it will take some time to crunch through them all. BOINC is doing it's job, running the earliest deadlines first so I should be able to slip them all in under the deadline. The only problem is I have to manually hit update once a day on those machines, otherwise BOINC won't report them automatically. |

Having PV purgatory is designed into the system, so everyone and I mean everyone can crunch at their own pace at their own volume, long as the (currently 10 or 14 day deadline) is met.
----------------------------------------Want to avoid PV jail somewhat... don't load masses of fresh work on Friday afternoon. Many devices, mostly in business, are switched off during the weekend. Any work on there wont get get completed until Monday. Here the shortest possible cache helps to expose the least jobs to be stuck all weekend (nanosecond thought). Work downloaded after Friday is over has a higher degree of chance to get finished by others that too do 24/7, if a quorum of 2 is required. ciao

Why is Boinc slow in reporting HCMD2 results?
---------------------------------------- I sometimes need to press the update button to send these results, and I'm trying hard not to press that button!   |

It's because of server efficiency and with yesterday a 2 year record of 419,239 results reported (4.85 per second) it becomes all the more desirable that the client combines reports for less hits on the database.
----------------------------------------So please, hands off, because if you do the server will tell your client to defer the next communication!

I finally seem to have all my systems correctly calculating their rDCF. Now we all just have to crunch through the oversized buffers.

Why is Boinc slow in reporting HCMD2 results? In the first week of this project there have been thousands of tasks underestimated when they were generated. These tasks were sized about one fifth the time they would really last. 1. When your client received them it received five times more of them than needed. 2. When they started to complete the duration of each queued task in your client has been adjusted to five times more than they were. 3. The current queue of your client became suddenly five times longer and the client stopped asking for new work (and reporting completed tasks at the same time) for hours or days, depending on your usual queue length. Hopefully this problem is over now that the HCMD2 tasks sizing is more normalized. If not please report accordingly. Cheers. Jean. |
