1) Message boards : Number crunching : Validation Pending too many tasks (Message 74539) Posted 22 Oct 2022 by Slywy Post: Validation is still happening just at a very slow pace so if one stops crunching a reduction in one's Validation Pending is to be expected. Even without stopping there are occasional temporary reductions. However, users stopping is likely to slow things down even more as there will be even less machines doing the little validation that is happening. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that things will get fixed until after the server migration. I haven't ran N-Body much over the last few months. Is N-Body validation also a problem or is it just Separation? N-Body validation is doing fine and has been all along -- As I have mention a few times already. The only problem N-Body has, is the extrem long running time of each task since a few weeks. But, as Tom said, it is a known problem and they are working on it. I wish fellow crunchers would specify in their post which project they are referring to. Separation, 36 pending for a couple of days. Maybe a few.

Backlog + new?

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Validation inconclusive (Message 74274) Posted 24 Sep 2022 by Slywy Post: I have 17 tasks waiting for validation, but none of them have been sent to another computer that I can see. After you finish a task it is either validated or sent to the queue for some other computer to crunch to see if the two of you come up with a statistically identical result. After you get 10 validated tasks in a row you will start to see them stop being sent to other people BUT just one invalid task and it starts all over again. They pre-test each task so they have a basic idea of what they are looking for in the result you send in and if it's not there your 10 in a row starts all over again. Thanks. It looked like they were sitting there an unusual amount of time. Now all but two have been validated.

9) Message boards : News : Testing Some New Plan Classes (Message 67235) Posted 10 Mar 2018 by Slywy Post: Hey Everyone, I am going to try changing the GPU plan classes to reduce workunits sent to users without double precision gpus. If you notice any issues on your end, please let me know. Thanks, Jake I must not have one because I'm suddenly getting hundreds of computation errors.
