hi all.
i managed, that WCG have the greatest time of inspection tasks. Some are waiting for validation over a week. i does not claim, just wonder what is the reason? because calculations here not much more complicated than others projects. for ex, now 19.08.15 i have Pending Validation status from 13.08.15 >.< and yet ~140 jobs. i try google, but found nothing concrete. accidentally found this article, but it does not explain everything. http://wcg.wikia.com/wiki/Validation |

Tristis Oris,
Have you tried clicking on the Result Name in My Contribution in the Result Status tab? Perhaps there are other crunchers working on the same workunits that have not finished yet. The workunit will not attempt to validate until a quorum of replications have reached Pending Validation status. |

hmm.. my oldest task look like
Project Name: Mapping Cancer Markers Created: 08/12/2015 15:05:42 Name: MCM1_0016036_5947 Minimum Quorum: 2 Replication: 2 Result Name App Version Number Status Sent Time Time Due / Return Time CPU Time / Elapsed Time (hours) Claimed/ Granted BOINC Credit MCM1_ 0016036_ 5947_ 0-- - In Progress 13.08.15 15:51:15 20.08.15 15:51:15 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 MCM1_ 0016036_ 5947_ 1-- 735 Pending Validation 13.08.15 15:50:41 13.08.15 20:14:02 3.05 87.1 / 0.0 so my task must be recomputing by other users yet few times, or it's a part of large task? |

so my task must be recomputing by other users yet few times, or it's a part of large task? It is the same task being computed twice. This redundancy will assure that the result is correct. |

thanks, now i understand.
but there is another question - why the other projects don't use such system? |

WCG and the scientists want the results checked in case a work unit is run on a machine which gives a wrong answer because of a fault within the machine. It also prevents cheating.
