I have a couple of older machines that I've decided to re-purpose for MilkyWay@home. They have been up and running for about a week now, doing CPU-only tasks, as they are workstations, and have old, useless video cards. In the last 3 days, I've had over 20 WUs fall under the "Validation Inconclusive" section of the tasks. Why is this? I thought initially that it was just the N-body tasks, but they seem to be all over the place. Any ideas? I'm at a complete loss, and a little annoyed with a roughly 33% failure rate with the tasks. Not really productive use, if you ask me..... |

Only worry if they change to invalid as that means you have a problem somewhere. |

Thanks for the info. It sheds a little light on the area. I've only had one WU come up as 'invalid', so I guess I won't worry too much about that. I'm just curious as to why this seems to have multiplied exponentially in the last week. I had inconclusives before, but it was here and there. Now, it's getting close to every other WU. |

Ha! I just made myself look dumb. lol You just posted that MilkyWay will have the WUs working on 2 machines (50%), and I have roughly "every other one" going inconclusive. Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet...... =) |
