At that specific point in time, yes, though in the last 10 days I've only had 30hrs at home on SunMon (15hrs asleep) and 10hrs on Weds night (6 asleep). I'm away now until Sunday as well... <sigh> But I now think it's solved following a long chat with tech support. Confirmed now I'm finally home.

Not picking up any work at all, even though the Server Status pages shows there's still plenty waiting to be done, looks like it's been an issue for about 3 hours now. Usually it wouldn't be such an urgent issue when it takes 8 hours to do a Task, but with all these short running Tasks, i'm almost out of work already. Edit- looks like they've been mucking around with the server again- i'm getting Virtual Box is not installed messages in my Event log again. I don't want to do Python, so i don't need Virtual Box. Just because i don't have virtual Box doesn't mean they should stop sending out Rosetta 4.20 Tasks to my systems. The very same issue we had towards the end of September. Work in progress has dropped by just over 20% already. Grant Darwin NT ID: 103178 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Just checked the Server Status again, and now it appears were are not getting any Rosetta 4.20 Tasks, because the 2.5 million that were there to be sent out, aren't there any more. Although they were there when Rosetta 4.20 work initially stopped being sent out (or at least the Server Status page thought so). WTF? And if we are out of Rosetta 4.20 Tasks, why aren't Python Tasks still being sent out to those that can process them? Has anyone with VirtualBox installed picked up any in the last 6 hours or so?

Since 04:00 UTC I’ve picked up 3 degrader retries and the queued figure has dropped by just over 2,000 (to 2,315,344). The waiting to send figures are 0 and 4,990 so some are making their way across but few and far between. ID: 103186 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Seems like we ran out of Rosetta 4.20 and all that's left are Python tasks? Yes, same for me on all three of my Rosetta machines set up to run the Pythons. That is OK with me, and it simplifies things a bit. ID: 103188 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'll admit that if they are Python tasks, then it's a very large number. It is a bit of a surprise, but I think possible. The total numbers have been going down for a week or two, but the percentage of pythons running on my machines has increased steadily for the last two or three days. That indicates to me that they are running out of the regular Rosettas, and are leaving us the pythons. If it keeps up, I will buy more memory. It is cheap now. I expect they are gearing up to produce the DDR5, and are selling off the DDR4. ID: 103195 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 12 Nov 2021, 20:26:44 UTC I've got fresh work, all python WUs, though. There probably won't be any for the weekend. I hate python WUs, I can only run one at a time with my setup. Worse, since I have really low cache settings, they clog up my cache and prevent other WUs from being downloaded. ID: 103204 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

True enough, you have to be prepared for them. But I think that is why they are sending them to us. The can do the other stuff in-house using the new AI techniques. They send the hard experimental stuff to us. ID: 103207 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It could be there are 2,308,226 queued jobs, but the feeder/splitters or whatever are borked & so they aren't being moved through to be allocated for processing, hence 0 Unsent Rosetta 4.20 Tasks.
