Hi all, I been watching my validation pending que and it has been increase since I started the project. At the present time I am over 1,700 work units in the pending state. The work units go back to June 25, 2019. I started June 24 2019. Is this normal to take so long for validation? If not is there any I can do to help the process along? Bubble |

It's normal and you still have another month to go before your numbers will settle down. Cheers. |

… and with the WoW event coming, Pendings are almost double their usual levels... Grant Darwin NT |

Thank you for everyone replies. I will just keep crunching for while and see what happens. |

I may be putting on my Captain Obvious dress uniform, but if it wasn't clear from the previous posts, there is nothing wrong that you are doing. You have completed the tasks successfully and are waiting for others to complete the same work unit so that your task can be validated. Seti@home classic: 1,456 results, 1.613 years CPU time |

What I was asking is it normal for the verification pending status work units to take over month to be verified. Plus is it normal have a large number of work units waiting on verification. |

What I was asking is it normal for the verification pending status work units to take over month to be verified. Yes, it is normal. I always want there to be more awaiting validation than validated. Some awaiting validations will take months to move to validated, depending on who your wingman is. ![]() SETI@home classic workunits 4,019 SETI@home classic CPU time 34,348 hours |

I always want there to be more awaiting validation than validated.Why is that? It just means your hosts have been running correctly with a constant output and you have had no dropouts in hardware or software. Your RAC stays level or is still increasing. RAC increases slowly but decreases rapidly. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours ![]() ![]() A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Why does the RAC decrease? I have seen that for example when the system transfer the WU and the RAC will go up to for example (82) than when I look at it again it has dropped by 12 point and the RAC is (70). |

What I was asking is it normal for the verification pending status work units to take over month to be verified.It depends on the other system that gets the same WU as you. WU deadlines vary from 1 month to 2 months. If the other system that gets the same WU as you doesn't return a result, on the date of the deadline it will be sent to another system. If they don't return the work, then on the date of the new deadline it will be sent to yet another system. And so on- up to around 9 other systems. However the longest I can remember waiting for a WU to Validate was around 6 months. Most are within the deadline period, a few are within the second deadline period. You don't get many that take much longer than 6 weeks or so, but it does happen often enough. Plus is it normal have a large number of work units waiting on verification.The faster you return work, the higher your Pendings will be. The longer it takes to return work, the lower your Pendings will be. Why does the RAC decrease? I have seen that for example when the system transfer the WU and the RAC will go up to for example (82) than when I look at it again it has dropped by 12 point and the RAC is (70).Different WUs get differing amounts of Credit, so RAC will vary over time as the work processed changes. There are also other issues that affect Credit, but talking about them results in great amounts of angst & wailing & hairpulling, people curling up into the foetal position and other unseemly behaviour. It's just the way things are. Grant Darwin NT |

Thank you for clarify my questions. |

There is still a question about the RAC on the home page. When I look at my home page and the RAC for example says its (500) than I switch pages and when I go back to the home page the RAC will have for example been reduce (480). why does the RAC after its been awarded gets reduced? I understand based on the speed of the cpu and if its the GPU the awarded credits will have a different value. I am just trying to understand the system I am not complaining its a knowledge base aspect on how the RAC is works. Don |

RAC stands for Recent Average Credit and is a rolling average so will go up and down, even within a day. There is a second figure - your project total which will grow continuously. Looking at the information alongside your last post I see your figures are: Credit: 2,340,597 RAC: 89,637 Tomorrow, all things being equal (as if...), I would expect to see your a new set of figures, with your credit increasing by approximately 89600 and you RAC remaining at about 89600.
