The queue was brought up to over 9 million on April 28th - https://web.archive.org/web/20200428015118/https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/

fell to 5.7 million WUs less than a week later https://web.archive.org/web/20200502165444/https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/

and has depleted to 1.5 million as of the latest update at 19:xx UTC today. So, while much of this can be marked up to the BOINC Pentathlon's tendency to Bunker WUs - the end result will still be a potential shortage of WUs.

So because of these stats - it's fair to wonder if we'll be running into another shortage.

Note: Just wanted to start this discussion, not to yell at the scientists or mods to make more WUs. Please refrain from doing so in this thread, or in general. We're not entitled to WUs - I just wanted to start the conversation... a healthy conversation.

My understanding is the current tasks help determine the path the next round of tasks follow so yes they dwindle down and then pop back up again.

Has Rosetta ever had a shortage during a Pentathlon?

hi, if the researchers need to evaluate the current results before the next batch, please make announcements on the main web page as well as in boinc-gui so that people would hang on in the project. if there is going to be a pause in between, do state so and give estimate of the pause duration if possible.

a pause is not a bad thing, people may perform maintenance in between, upgrades, restart servers etc.

Set up a couple of zero resource share backup projects and the only thing your pc will know is it's crunching for a different project today than it was yesterday. Then when Rosetta has tasks again it will come back to Rosetta with no hiccups.

There are multiple studies underway at all times. So, when one stops to evaluate results and plan next work to send, another has completed their plans for next work to send, and is sending it out. There is also a steady stream of work coming in through the Robetta servers.

we'll have to wait and see what happens.

I s'pose this means that this now-present shortage will be resolved quickly?

I came here to report the same. Reviewed unread messages first - this was the only mention.
Did a final check to see where we were - and another million tasks got made available in just those few minutes.
Problem already being solved.

As the pond thins out maybe it's time to switch from 8Hrs runs to 36Hrs (???)
