2) Message boards : Number crunching : Suddenly, many invalids (Message 70922) Posted 26 Jun 2021 by MossyRock Post: I suddenly starting getting large amount of validation errors on my WUs. There is definitely a pattern. All of the validation errors are when my results which ran on one of my CPU cores are compared against those which ran on someone's GPU. Nearly all of mine that validated ok were when there was apples-to-apples comparison, i.e., a WU which ran on my GPU was validated against another's WU which also ran on a GPU. An example of one of my invalid WUs: https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=121726783 I have read this thread and it doesn't seem to apply to situation, exactly: https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4727 Any ideas? Thanks.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : N-Body Simulation (mt) WU (Message 66670) Posted 27 Sep 2017 by MossyRock Post: I've been away from this project for some time and just returned today. I was gobsmacked when I saw a WU waiting in the queue that said "8 cores". This is the first multi-threaded application I've ever seen in BOINC. So, to test it, I suspended all other jobs and let it run. It was over in less than 10 minutes. My question is, how does the BOINC manager schedule this when I have multiple projects running? Will it force the other projects and WUs to stop so it can get all 8 cores, or do I have to make tweaks/allowances somewhere to make sure these get run? Thanks.
