In the last few days I am getting a lot of Validation Errors. In the past, I would get a few errors once in a while, which I could live with. However, the last few days the error rate has become unacceptable. This large number of errors is wasting a lot of computer power and time. Below is a listing of errors: Oct. 9 5 errors Oct. 8 8 errors Oct. 7 3 errors Oct. 6 1 error Oct. 5-3 0 errors Oct. 2 1 error You can see the error rate has become unacceptable the last 3 days. Is this a problem with MilkyWay@home or is it an error on my computer? I am running a Dell computer with the latest Windows 10. Can someone please help me! Thanks. ![]() |

Reason why: https://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=4764 I don't see anything there that fixes the issue!

Hi Brent I share your concerns, I seem to be wasting 15,000 - 18,000 cpu seconds per day on invalid units, usually 3 or 4. I run with Core I7 and up to date W10. I guess at some point I might stop if it persists. |

Have processed 33 work Units today. 5 were immediately invalid (15%) wasting a total of 20,000 + CPU seconds.. 6 are still pending validation. Coupled with yesterdays invalid another 10,000 Cpu seconds.. 35,000 seconds over 2 days wasted. Looking at the WU results every WU that exceeds its estimated time is very likely to be immediately invalid. To much time wasted, wont be doing any more . |

If the xml file for a task has <number_WUs> 7 </number_WUs>then it should be aborted, as it will result in a validate error. Apologies that I haven't been able to implement a server-side fix for this yet, I have been (& still am) busy with other projects and travel. If I get some spare time this week I will try to look into it. |

Is this still an issue? I'm getting a bunch of high CPU seconds invalids. What is/are the XML file names? Boinc_task_state.xml? init_data.xml? Or others? There are 5 of them each with over 5,000 seconds. |

hmmmm. Well that's annoying! I have poked around in MW@home and boinc, and it is not readily apparent how to toggle from hidden to viewable. How is that done? There are no available options in the edit profile section. |

Hi Tom, Belated New Years Greetings. The invalids have been quite high for the last 2 weeks. My invalids are at 2087 |

Hello, Belated happy new years to you as well. I've gone through and purged things so you should notice a lower number of validate errors shortly. |
