My second WU to be marked invalid: Workunit 91877832
The cuda and the HD5800 validated and left my poor Mac's CPU out in the cold.

In case it's purged:

Die "Scheisse" funktionert so wie es soll. Es liegt mit hoher Warscheinlichkeit an deinem Scheiss übertakten...macht wohl deine Scheisskarte nicht mit und produziert nur falsche Resultate. Darum bekommst du auch keine Scheiss Credits mehr...

So ne Scheisse aber auch ...

Kann man so allgemein auch nicht sagen. Vielleicht vertragen andere Projekte einfach grössere Abweichungen bei den Ergebnissen. Eine geringere Fehlertoleranz ist aber kein "Fehler" des Projektes. :-P
Lovely greetings, Cori

Ein paar Leute haben geschrieben, dass sie mit der neuen ATI app ihre Ãœbertaktung etwas reduzieren mussten.

Different programs are stressing the GPU in a different way. If you are running at the limit of the card, even a new prog version can push it over the line.
Suggestion: Set your card back to default speed for the moment. Wait until the new programm (MW3) is out and stable, than see where your new oc limit is.

Maybe it could be a good idea to send WUs for validation to different types of systems if possible (for example no more than 1 to 58X0, etc.) or no more than one to systems that have many validation problems recently (58X0 whould currently qualify for that, but in future that could of course change).

aber wenn die fehlertoleranz so gering ist das man die mouse nicht mehr bewegen kann ist es vieleicht etwas übertrieben. man hat auch mal was zu tun am pc

Wenn Deine Karten schon fehlerhafte Resultate ausspucken, wenn Du nur die Maus bewegst, würde ich mir ernsthaft Gedanken machen. Bei mir ist das vollkommen egal. Ich lasse MW auch auf meinem normalen Arbeits-PC laufen (habe da eine 3870X2 reingesteckt), da kann ich machen was ich will und es läuft ohne ungültige Ergebnisse.

Hilfreich wäre vielleicht, wenn Du mal ein paar Angaben über Deinen Rechner machst (GPU, Takte, OS, Treiber, MW-Version).

PS:
Wenn es geht, sind übrigens englischsprachige Posts zu empfehlen.

Message 38835 - Posted: 18 Apr 2010, 16:25:51 UTC

So, am I the only one running nVidia that's still having troubles?

Host reference :
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=161353

I've been keeping up w/the news about the validation problem. I'm using the stock applications from MW@Home, and I'm running nVidia (dual GTX 295).

I don't overclock the CPU or GPU because I don't want to void the warranty.

I uploaded 24 WUs a little bit ago, only to have 9 of them go Validation inconclusive.

Any help would be appreciated.

For some obscure reason WUs are listed as "Completed, validation inconclusive" instead of "Completed, waiting for validation" even if there is no other deviating result that would make the validation inconclusive. Currently I see 8 of 10 of your WUs in the "validation inconclusive" state although there are no deviating results.

One WU is labeled as "Completed, waiting for validation" with one task "Completed, waiting for validation" and the other task "Completed, validation inconclusive".

The validator is still buggy in this regard.

Message 38841 - Posted: 18 Apr 2010, 17:53:38 UTC

I posted the following message earlier, but I may have stuck it in the wrong thread:

I don't know if these are the workunits that I am having problems with but I am using the stock app with a stock Mac mini core duo (plus a few on a core 2 duo) and more than half of the units I return are marked invalid. Many of the units start with a quorum of one and then after they are returned the quorum jumps to two. I usually end up paired with a GPU and then it will validate against a third machine (also running a GPU) leaving mine as odd man out. Shouldn't the stock app on a stock CPU return (mostly) valid results?

I like this project and I realize that I am not helping very much compared with the GPU folks but I would really like to be able to return valid units. Any help or insight would be appreciated. I have tried to keep up with the postings on the forum boards here, so if I missed something vital somewhere please point me in the right direction. Thank you.



Plus SETI Classic = 21,082 WUs

"Completed, waiting for validation" = waiting on another task
"Completed, validation inconclusive" = wu wasn't quite on target, and another was sent out and waiting for it to come back.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

The entry "Completed, validation inconclusive" should only be set if there are deviating results and not if the result is the only one sent back. If the other WU is unsent or no result is reported back the entry should be set to "Completed, waiting for validation".

Just my two cents...

Offhand, except for Workunit 90594183, all of the pending WU's you submitted appear to be in the expected state based on what my own units do. All results require a confirmation from another client (quorum=2) and your work units are showing 'Validation inconclusive' because none of the other results have come back yet. In fact, some of those confirmation tasks haven't even been sent out yet.

You should post a complaint about 90594183 in the "Number Crunching: Waiting for Validation..." thread (http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=1678) to let Travis know there is a problem. A lot of us had problems with validation around the same time.

Sadly this is just how the BOINC server relays messages.

If your WU gets set to Completed, validation inconclusive, that just means the server has sent out more results and is waiting to complete validation.

Completed, waiting for validation means that the result hasn't gone through the validator at all yet.
