In our most recent OPN update, we announced the availability of new OPNG work units and the gradual depletion of OPN1 work units. Despite anticipating all of the OPN1 work units to be taken, 15 batches remain available as of April 24.
We determined that there were some recurring issues with half-built OPNG batches that created problems for the assimilator since April 13. Today we were finally able to identify the root cause, scan the OPNG batches for remaining occurrences and rebuild the affected batches. The OPNG assimilator is running again now and catching up on its backlog of 209K results, consuming it at a rate of about 13.5K results/hour. The backlog should be gone by the morning of April 25th. If you have any comments or questions, please leave them in this thread for us to answer. WCG team |

Thank you for the update much appreciated. Out of interest do you have any indication of how many GPU batches there will be in total. In each GPU batch how many tasks will be created from each batch? I am assuming that the majority of the tasks will not require checking by another computer.

Thanks in advance Hi Speedy51, in our initial April OPN project update, we stated that 12,500 batches of OPNG work units left to distribute. By our estimates, ~300 batches are sent our per day so we should be at ~10,200 now. |

Cyclops, are the 10,200 batches the last of the work for OPN? Or will the scientists be generating some more for us to crunch?

Got it. Guess I don't have to give up hope yet for the 200-year badge :)

I'm getting close to my 10-year "total contribution" badge in 3 years of membership by late middle May 2023. To think I did some of it running four computers (on a Android 4.4 cellphone, a circa-2005 laptop with Original Pentium II processor, and some other obsolete circa 2010-2012 hardware) just makes me want to start singing the Star Trek "Enterprise" theme song with a computer montage in the background in place of the aerospace one: "It's been a long road, gettin' from there to here....". (Okay, okay, I'll stop singing...maybe).
----------------------------------------Now my newest box does 2-4 days worth of work per day depending on my forgetting to upload/download new or finished work, and I don't have to run it at 105% capacity. How those old machines withstood over 2 years of nearly-constant runs like that is a tribute to the older designs that didn't have every last penny of quality or service life designed out. And hey, 200 years of contributions on whichever project(s) you did would be awesome. ![]() ![]()

I remember the first device I ever ran BOINC on was a dual-1GHz Pentium III system, and I think I was overjoyed when it did 50 points a day. And now I've got a single-CPU EPYC system that does comfortably north of 100k a day, and with GPUs you can get several times that still. Ahh how times have changed :) ![]() |

And....it looks like the OPN1 supply has run dry. Aside from a few resends I've been getting all MCM/SCC for a bit over an hour now, despite preferences set to prioritise OPN1.
