Dave, are you taking into consideration the transitioner backlog of 6.47 hours? I believe the challenge has progressed the project however because of the backlog of work needing to be validated et cetera, information we are seeing at https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/server_status.php is delayed by however big the transitioner backlog is

Speedy, it is good to hear from you. Yes, it is possible that the transitioner backlog is gumming up everything. Good point! I am going to bed soon, but I will check on things in ~8 hours. I am going to post a current snapshot in this message so that I have a point of comparison then.

My RAC: 22,126,385 (all crunchers running)
Tasks ready to send: 42722
Tasks in progress: 8181
Workunits waiting for validation: 71793
Transitioner backlog (hours): 7.26
Current progress: 52.5940%
ETA: 2026-03-12
Runtime of last 100 tasks: average, min, max: 8.53, 0.02, 151.04

Dave likewise, nice to hear from you. Will look at your results in around 12 hours

Over the course of 24 hours my credit has increased by a little over 9,215,000

No tasks again.

Here is the update:

My RAC: 22,164,774 (all crunchers crunching - RAC up a tiny bit)
Tasks ready to send: 10972 (down significantly)
Tasks in progress: 7850 (down ~4%)
Workunits waiting for validation: 79631 (up ~10%)
Transitioner backlog (hours): 5.48 (down about 20%)
Current progress: 53.2266%
ETA: 2026-03-14 (2 days later)
Runtime of last 100 tasks: average, min, max: 7.03, 0.01, 138.29

You miss two variables,
Users in last 24 hours 386
Hosts in last 24 hours 632
These drop down significantly till first day of challenge begin. I remember 1200+ hosts at that day. Now almost half of it.

Over the course of 24 hours my credit has increased by a little over 9,215,000

Appreciate your update Dave.
Here is my update
in roughly 13 hours my credit increased by a total of 5,414,265

Users in last 24 hours 386
Hosts in last 24 hours 632
These drop down significantly till first day of challenge begin. I remember 1200+ hosts at that day. Now almost half of it.

This is a terrific point, Rymorea. I am wondering why the number of users and hosts plummeted. In fact, these values have decreased further - 357 users and 577 hosts.

Workunits waiting for validation: 69693 (down ~15%)

360 users in the last 24 hours; 580 hosts in the last 24 hours

I'm temporarily stopping work. There are errors saying "Time has elapsed - no response." There are unanswered questions on the forum. It's sad...

You didn't start the task before the deadline.

Задания были отправлены и приняты уже давно. Из-за низкой производительности сервера , выполненная работа испорчена

The tasks have been submitted and accepted a long time ago. Due to the low server performance, the completed work has been corrupted.
There are 118 tasks waiting to be reviewed. Another task has been corrupted. The tasks are due for review.

My RAC: 22,507,018 (up a tiny bit, but see below)
My tasks in progress: 0
My tasks validation pending: 2769 (for obvious reasons, it looks like my backlog is getting cleared)
Tasks ready to send: 0
Tasks in progress: 5837 (looks like I am not the only one running out of work)
Workunits waiting for validation: 76123 (odd that this is not going down)
Transitioner backlog (hours): 3.52 (this is better)
Current progress: 53.8012%
ETA: 2026-03-25 (that's a big leap!)
Runtime of last 100 tasks in hours: average, min, max: 6.85, 0.01, 109.44
378 users in the last 24 hours; 612 hosts in the last 24 hours

I don't understand why more tasks are not available to be crunched, unless the workunits waiting for validation is triggering it to be shut off.

Appreciate your update Dave.
Here is my update
in roughly 13 hours my credit increased by a total of 5,414,265

Speedy, how is your RAC doing now? Do you think you will hit the 1 billion mark next week? I know that you have been trying hard to reach that milestone before the project shuts down. Good luck!

Nice to hear from you Dave. Yes it looks like I will hurt my goal in 9.27 days. I need about another 60,000,000 credits (I have taken into my pending into account"

Ask and ye shall receive ... tasks

Tasks ready to send is up to 3034
Tasks in progress is up to 6502

It certainly is. Thanks for your support!

What do y'all think? Has the flow of tasks returned to normal?

What do y'all think? Has the flow of tasks returned to normal?

I'm not sure Dave. I still believe there are periods of time when we run out of work one being around 18 hours ago.
I'm more interested to know how come the server still has a 4.49 hour backlog?
