We seem to have run out of BRP4 work units. My Pi3's are out of work and my Pi4's are all running Gamma Ray Pulsar search #5. The server status page shows zero Tasks to Send.

According to the server status page there's enough data for nearly 100 years of crunching at the current speed, but the BRP4 work generator is not running.

I sent a message to Bernd this morning, and he replied saying that the problem should now be fixed.

The BRP4 progress section of the server status page has been broken for a couple of years. If you click through to the Details page, you'll see that there was a data glitch at the end of 2019 (at least I'm hoping that's what it is and that the project didn't lose all of the BRP4 results). A rough eyeballing of the rate of increase in the first chart would put us around 135k beams processed out of 156k. So still years of work left if it remains Android only but no where near 100 years. With the downtime at WCG, it would be great to have a steady steam of BRP4 work for the next couple of months.

BRP4 still wasn't working when I went to bed last night, but my Android tablet is humming along again this morning.

I contacted  Bernd again after another taskless day, but this time got no reply.   However, shortly after that my Android thing downloaded a load of Einstein tasks, but my Pies haven't received anything.   Fortunately Universe@Home is back up and running, so at least they are no longer idle.   Would someone else like to give Bernd a prod?

My Pies are now picking up Einstein tasks again, so it looks like the problem is solved.

It would be nice if the server status page was fixed and if BRP4 work were available for GPUs.
