Returned wu piling up in pending queue

My pending credit queue is growing larger by the day. Since Dec. 9th it has grown larger everyday. It looks like about half to 2/3's of my returned work units just go into the pending credit queue. Is this normal?

GeneM I know how you are feeling. I have had about a 1000 credits in waiting. Started to make me think that no one was crunching with XP.

GeneM I know how you are feeling. I have had about a 1000 credits in waiting. Started to make me think that no one was crunching with XP. I've seen similar results. Either people are gone for the holidays, have their computers working but not online, or have stopped running D@H. I've seen one machine which was returning results within a day. It suddenly grabbed about 40 or 50 work units, returned two or three of them, and hasn't been heard from since. It might be they quit without aborting the work units or it might be that they just loaded the machine up to keep it busy, but not connected to the internet, while they went on holiday. I guess things are going to be strange this time of year. It would be hard to tell with D@H, but I'd love to see what Windows Patch Tuesday does to an established project with thousands of machines. There are still people out here, like me, who live in small rural communities and are out of range for DSL, have no cable internet available, and are stuck on 56K dial-up. I spent most of a day downloading and re-booting my 2 WinXP machines. Regards, -- David |

Unfortunately it is true that there are lot of pending credits. More users with more machines would probably help a little bit, but we would really like to fix our problems with the apps first before letting more people attach. And David might be right about people having turned on their machines for the holidays: the university is awfully empty and quiet these days.... Hopefully the new year will bring new credit too :-)

> While I have not crunched for Docking for a couple of days to concentrate on Rosetta, my Pending queue still has 74 WUs in it. This is down from over 100 so they are getting done. When it drops a bit more I will come back and start crunching again. It is mainly a Linux thing, Windows seems to only stay pending for a couple of days before being completed, Linux can take over 2 weeks.

lol me ? I was wondering why my ears were ringing :) Unfortunatly that machine got 'work bombed again'. I don't know why, it asks for 864 seconds of work, and gets 50 wu, (it's set at connect every .01 days). It has 30 left, all docking,takeing about 4 hours each. ____________

It is mainly a Linux thing, Windows seems to only stay pending for a couple of days before being completed, Linux can take over 2 weeks. Actually windows are suffering as well... but not much because the number of machines is higher. My pending has been coming down from almost 16K to 12K so that is a good indicator. I dont have many linux machines to help more but I will try to get some more. |

:) pending. Here's another The workunit seems to have no problem. Since the deadline is set to 10 days. If one/some of replica in a workunit won't be returned in the period the new copy will be distributed after that. So in that case you'd have to wait for 10 days additionally. suguruhirahara ____________

:) pending. Here's another That work unit should finish about Thursday. GeneM, who started this thread *grin*, has the third machine. That machine has a long work queue so it takes just over 4 days on average to return the work unit but it's crunching away on them. It has returned over 5 work units in the last 24 hours so it's not on holiday :-) -- David |

Now that the machines on holiday have timed out, my pending result queue has shrunk from about 1700 cobblestones to the 200 - 350 cobblestone range.
