How is it that calculations remain stuck in "validation pending" status when two results have been returned for several hours? Thank you ID: 2179 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Completed tasks pile up when they arrive faster than the server can process them. This is what's happening now - it's 5+ hours backlog at the moment. ID: 2180 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Hopefully with the server piled up we won't miss out on credit because of the deadline being missed? I feel this is an unlikely scenario ID: 2184 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 14 Mar 2026, 20:39:39 UTC Nope it is not getting any better, its almost a whole day now No it is only 5.02 hours behind from my perspective. Where are you getting the information that it is almost a whole day behind? I do agree my pending validations are over 400 at the moment Over the past 20 hours there has been an increase of nearly 3 TFLOPS https://grafana.kiska.pw/d/boinc/boinc?orgId=1&var-project=Amicable which will explain the reason for comment. above regarding increase to pending results ID: 2272 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

What I am saying is that it took more than 5 hours after task submission before it was validated. ID: 2274 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 16 Mar 2026, 21:05:27 UTC Appreciate the information. May I ask where you can find out when a formula Boinc challenge is taking place? In the event you are referring to https://formula-boinc.org/ I cannot understand how to interpret what challenge is taking place. Yes I have changed to English language Nevermind I have found the new site https://www.formulaboinc.org/index.py?division=1&standing=team&race=4 ID: 2276 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
