"Are you sure we are ready for eliminating redundant jobs?" Not sure if one has anything to do with the other. The zero redundancy jobs have verification algorithms. At the end of the day if promising results are found, they will be rerun in the lab for verification. Why use redundancy on 99.999% of the tests if they don't end in a promising result. The tests though need to be run to be able to determine if they are or if they are not.

That 6.03 and 6.04 were not compatible I'd not expected, but a single bit difference is enough to not make them pass the equality test and that could be if e.g. a change is made to the none essential graphics.

I don't think that accurately describes it.

The difference with the zero redundancy validator is that it would know which result was invalid without comparing it to another result.

Seeing another set of inconclusive results - this time three of them.

It's unfortunate, but whenever there is a 'No Reply' or an 'Error on the side of any 2 in a quorum right in the middle of a version upgrade, the results are not a perfect match. Here's todays comment from knreed:
Once the zero redundancy validation code has been fully tested this will become a thing of the semi past. Of present and upcoming projects only HCC will retain the standard quorum 2 bit for bit matching.


Sorry for any inconvenience.

(of course it is against our common sense to blame the 'No Reply/Error' clients. Always consider force majeure kept them away from delivering ;-)

Discouraging situation !
