Validation seems to have come to a crawl, over 145,000 work units awaiting validation at the moment.

Yes.
We have temporary performance problems with database optimization/cleaning...

981,000+ work units waiting for validation, seems to be a problem somewhere.

Validation is slowly starting to go down a bit:

Tasks ready to send 461715
Tasks in progress 1862
Workunits waiting for validation 971878
Workunits waiting for assimilation 45
Workunits waiting for file deletion 16
Tasks waiting for file deletion 3
Transitioner backlog (hours) 13.91

Task data as of 2 Jul 2020, 15:47:05 UTC

NOTE : The project status page is almost 1 hour behind the real time

Also several of my PC's are NOT getting work despite requesting it over and over.... Just one example:
02-Jul-2020 11:32:32 [iThena] Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
02-Jul-2020 11:32:32 [iThena] Requesting new tasks for CPU
02-Jul-2020 11:32:36 [iThena] Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
02-Jul-2020 11:32:36 [iThena] No tasks sent

Validator is running...
But this is a performance problem.
I'm trying to improve performance in this weekend...

Thanks Rysiu, always a new issue to keep things interesting, eh?

I have twice as many tasks waiting to be validated than tasks that have been validated.

Validation pending (2379) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (1156) · Invalid (0) · Error (0)

I have twice as many tasks waiting to be validated than tasks that have been validated.

Validation pending (2379) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (1156) · Invalid (0) · Error (0)

Mine are different:
All (5087) · In progress (10) · Validation pending (2756) · Validation inconclusive (0) · Valid (2319) Invalid (0) · Error (2)

I will probably have to stop generating new ina PERF tasks for some time.
For some time these tasks may be unavailable.
I will try to reduce these problems.

I'm still analyzing the situation.
However, I will probably have to reduce the number of tasks temporarily.
Then the situation with the availability of the tasks will return to normal.

Also, in general, there will probably soon be an update of Thena PERF.

The number of tasks in the validation queue has started to decrease.
I added four parallel validators (mod 4).
Current status:

Workunits waiting for validation 1679395

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/BackendPrograms

The transitioner works asynchronously from work generators and schedulers, and in high-load situations it can fall behind (i.e. a large queue of workunits waiting to be processed can build up). The transitioner backlog is shown in the server status page. If the backlog becomes large (> 1 hour) you can do the following:

•stop the project
•run sched/transitioner_catchup.php
•start the project

Just curious about the numbers shown on the server for validation.

It shows at the moment just 133 awaiting validation across the whole project.

I have 317 currently awaiting validation on my account page and it is going up.

Also the last validation that happened on my computers was on the 7th of July, so a bit behind.

Just wondering how it works.
