Unixchick et al.,

Finally, after some 30 faithful and dedicated years with my first internet provider, I will be changing internet providers, which means that the shown links in Unixchick's first post of this thread (that pointed to hourly updated files) will stop working sometime in the near future.

(They are called "Adri's WU scripts" and "SCC to be processed queue" in that first post.)

Adri

I'm loving the constant supply of WUs from MCM !

I hope everyone had a good holiday with friends and family.

It's a new year, and I'd really like an update.
What is the funding status?
What is the status of the other projects?
What is the status of the no purge results list problem?
What are the issues preventing ARP returning?

Thank you TigerLily !!! I appreciate the quick answer. I'll keep an eye out for more info in the future!

There has been assimilator activity (see below)... However, remember that there wouldn't be any obvious movement visible via the web site (or the new API) until at least 24 hours after the assimilator(s) started successful processing :-)

Given TigerLily's comment. I looked for assimilator activity using the old API (as per previous posts by Adri and myself)... I checked result modification times and file delete state flags in data acquired at 02:00 (UTC) this morning and found that a massive 5 (yes, five) tasks had advanced to the state where they could be fully purged. All five made the transition between 20:36 and 20:43 (UTC) on the 11th. (And they disappeared some time after 20:45 on 12th, as expected.)

Hoping that the above merely indicated an assimilator test or a crash that was eventually detected, I did another check using data collected at 20:00 (UTC) on 12th; that showed a further 404 tasks advanced to a "ready to purge" state. These changed between 02:38 and 19:11 (UTC) and will disappear on 13th. Better :-), but...

Hopefully, that break at 19:11 isn't the start of another long interval with no assimilations :-) -- my next check isn't until 02:00 on the 13th.

For what it's worth, I have about 12,000 tasks marked as valid, and process about 170 tasks a day (so this assimilation effort will remove about 3%, and will be counterbalanced within 2.5 days!) -- unless assimilation speeds up it's going to take a long time to catch up.

Cheers - Al.

P.S. I think the intervals between processed items are down to the assimilator(s) not running rather than my having no suitable candidate tasks. An assimilator should work in ascending WU order, and there wasn't a huge gap between the highest from the first 5 (413322093) and the lowest in the larger group (413348759), given that the highest in the larger group is 419606797... (Of course, this is just based on my tasks, so others may see different behaviour.)

I have 37600 valid tasks and have only been contributing to WCG since 12-21-2023. I process about 3000 per day or 90000 per month with more threads coming online shortly.
