Why are so many of my units coming up as invalid?
Of 32 units
11 invalid
1 error
2 valid
18 inconclusive (awaiting validation)
Don't have this problem with other projects.

Thanks,
The Fatman

I wouldn't worry about it at all. I've got 7550 valids, 26 invalids and 230 errors -- it's just the usual. I still make over 400,000 PPD with a 7950 regardless. If your invalid/error to valid ratio is too high, try lowering frequencies and check your temps.

Here's an example of one of your units that came back as "invalid":
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=684144018

You can see MULTIPLE people had problems crunching the exact same unit, meaning it's probably not you but instead the unit itself. If they knew what was in the units we wouldn't need to crunch them, sometimes there is nothing but noise, usually there is useful data in them.
