Again a lot of inconclusive WU

I run several hosts, differents CPU/GPU and drivers. All are visible.
About 50% of my WU finish in "inconclusive"
Reset project not change anything.
Who can explain ?

Only one example on host 772323 task reported on 27 May 2018, 14:45:30 UTC:
WU : http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=2345832727

here the result :
<core_client_version>7.8.3</core_client_version>

Who can explain ?

The proper phrase is "Validation inconclusive". It means they have not been compared with the results from other users. About half of mine are in that status too. That will eventually be compared, and usually validated.

^ this.

it’s the “invalid” and “error” you need to worry about.

Hello
I have an Amd Radeon 380X graphic card and I have lot's of computation errors almost 50%
Once again It seams that this project has unsolved computation issues on amd/ati graphic cards.

The team of this...so called "project" is probably not up to the task for fixing their own issues with graphic card computation. It is happenning very often, I mean very very often!

So it's a shit project for me !
I won't waste computation time and electricity on Milkyway anymore despite my respectable score and history.

If, like me you have lot's of computation errors with this...?project?
Crunch on Einstein at home wich is issue and error free !

I've been using an AMD 5870 here for a LONG time and it works just fine, when I look at my pc it says this: AMD ATI Radeon HD 5800/5900 series (Cypress/Hemlock) (1024MB) driver: 1.4.1848 OpenCL: 1.2

But when I look at your pc it says this: AMD AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series (4096MB) OpenCL: 2.0

It looks like the AMD driver is not loaded or didn't take if you did load it. You have to manually load the AMD drivers, Nvidia ones too if you have an Nvidia card, as Windows does NOT load any drivers that can be used to crunch with.

Hey Elvis,

I looked through your workunit history and it seems as though the problem occurs on the second to last, or last workunit in a bundle. Can you please look to see if your GPU is running out of memory, or if there is another issue where you drivers are crashing late in the workunit?

I am sorry you are having issues with your project and I understand your frustration.

Jake

The proper phrase is "Validation inconclusive". It means they have not been compared with the results from other users. About half of mine are in that status too. That will eventually be compared, and usually validated.

But the correct state for this would be "waiting for validation" like in other projects. Why is using Milkyway this misunderstanding state that is normally used, when 2 PCs deliver different results - and therfore really need a 3rd or 4th run?
