Open PV WU [Resolved]

I found these WU still PV after 10.5 days.

CMD2_ 0001-GPDAA.clustersOccur-RADIA.clustersOccur_ 11730_ 1-- 611 Pending Validation 13/05/09 06:17:35 15/05/09 02:02:57 0.16 2.5 / 0.0
CMD2_ 0001-GPDAA.clustersOccur-RADIA.clustersOccur_ 11730_ 0-- 611 Pending Validation 13/05/09 06:17:28 13/05/09 16:29:16 0.11 2.2 / 0.0
and

CMD2_ 0001-GPDAA.clustersOccur-RADIA.clustersOccur_ 11730_ 0-- 611 Pending Validation 13/05/09 06:17:28 13/05/09 16:29:16 0.11 2.2 / 0.0

I looked in the FAQ but all I could find was:

Pending Validation - The result was returned to the server but there have not been enough results for that workunit returned to the server yet for validation to be attempted

Since this project is Replication 2, there are obviously enough WU returned. Many crunchers have been commenting on vast number of pages of PV WU, so maybe these WU are an indication of a larger problem.

Could someone please either point me in the direction of more detailed FAQs, fix the Validator or explain what causes this. Better yet, do all 3.

Besides, I really hate posting the 'look at this problem' posts because I figure that some is already looking at it without having to be asked.

Re: Open PV WU

Interesting - I checked to see if I had anything similar and found one pending result - also from May 15 - that has not yet been validated even though both results are back ... perhaps there is something about some of the results returned that particular day ?

CMD2_ 0001-GPDAA.clustersOccur-MYH6.clustersOccur_ 1559_ 1-- 611 Pending Validation 12/05/09 17:11:13 12/05/09 19:10:36 1.08 22.4 / 0.0
CMD2_ 0001-GPDAA.clustersOccur-MYH6.clustersOccur_ 1559_ 0-- 611 Pending Validation 12/05/09 17:04:35 15/05/09 02:02:22 1.48 18.4 / 0.0

Re: Open PV WU

Hi astrolab,
From time to time, something interferes with the validator process on the server. knreed kicks the server when this happens.

biggrin

Re: Open PV WU

The complete quorum/not validating after many hours / days has been mentioned by the tech and reported by a number of users so you can hate yourself astrolab. A flag that should get the validator to muster the complete quorum is not being set sporadically (what's sporadic on 420,000 tasks returned in a day). Periodically, round about when the batch needs completing, moving through the assimilator and sending to the scientists, knreed will do something to force it off, but he is looking at the problem.

Seems to be "where's the FAQ" time today, 99.9% of the time a waste to generate since asking is easier. I'm a volunteer, we all are volunteers, BOINC is open source at that, so, as with the member who was going to collect all the GPU/CUDA info and create a wiki page, you are too welcome to make one. I contributed FAQ's even before being called to the CA ranks. Can't remember having seen this since about 2005.

And all the commenting on large numbers of PV for this project. You know why that is, in amongst the short duration and some hoarders of large stockpiles in their cache so they can be sure before the start-up supply dries up. I still got HCMD2 tasks in PV from 13/16th (14), and no wingman showing yet, that I can assert you. It is AFAICD by no means a wide spread issue... knreed would know for he has detail by-project reports on what's in PV.

Not guilty! tongue My biggest cache is 0.25 days but I'm in the same situation, still got pv on wu's from 14th May. BTW thanks to the CA's for keeping us up to date and informed

On a separate note:
knreed kicks the server when this happens.

I'm glad it's not just me that does that!

Perhaps your queue isn't backed up, but the one with the other compare workunit to be run probably is. My oldest PV is from May 16. Everybody running the project has got 'em. I just keep crunching. If it gets close to deadline, the system will send out a high priority workunit -2 for someone new to run to compare with either -0 or -1 already sitting here.

Ken's toes must be getting bruised. Since there is a method, even though it is manual, to catch these late validations, there is no need for me to comment further if I find any more and no need to hate myself. Mission accomplished! cool

I can report that my IP units are now current and I am down from the all time high of 146 pages of IP to a measly 12 pages. My one computer that got loaded with the under-estimated jobs has caught up, even though I did decide to abort about 2.5 days of WU as I was afraid that I would not catch up.
While I did have a huge pool of IP, I never had a buffer on any machine larger than 3 days and that wasn't on all of my profiles, and all my profiles are now down to .2 days.
