On what is normally a reliable machine, I have had 72 of the new FAHV units go invalid. Strange thing is when I look at the log, I do not see any error. Here is one example:
Result Log Result Name: FAHV_ 1000016_ 3j3y-1R-P1_ 16060_ 0-- <core_client_version>7.6.22</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> INFO: result number = 0 INFO: No state to restore.

I've got them spread over four machines, all windows boxes. Most of the invalids I've got were invalid for me and one other user before a valid was produced. Run times were basically the same for me, other machines giving invalid returns, and the machines giving valid results.

I also have an invalid result - with 3 invalids before mine. The result after mine was valid. All results were granted the full Boinc credit (except the error).

I too have a growing list of invalid results. Have rebooted and the invalid list continues to grow. Project reset?

Same here, and from devices that almost never go invalid. Also had one machine that had never had an error on WCG have nothing but errors ("maximum elapsed time exceeded" even though they were only 4 hours of CPU time). Moved that one back to Zika.
----------------------------------------Hopefully these issues don't persist throughout the re-launch. |

Greetings all,
There was a bug in the validator code. I have corrected it. You will know that it was just marking results as invalid improperly. Results that were marked valid were in fact valid and sent for packaging. We are sorry for results being marked invalid improperly. Thanks, -Uplinger |

Thanks for the update Keith. Since I have almost 300 invalids now, was curious if this would impact my machine reliability rating.

Unfortunately, it will for a short period of time. Once your computer gets above the reliable threshold it will start allowing your computer to download FAHV workunits without issue. The reliable rating is by project, so the reliability is only for FAHV application that will be affected. I think if you return something like 20 valid results in a row, you can go from 0.0 to 1.0. With the shortness of these workunits, I think most machines would be back to reliable within 24 hours easily.
Thanks, -Uplinger |

May I suggest you take time to get proper estimated TTC on the different task types for the various projects, flex and rigid in this FAHV case. Now got 280 'Rigid' on the octo in queue with 4:02 minutes estimate, with of course a locked down DCF of 1.0, but they run 2+ hours. Just tell us if just to let them stew till they expire.
Knowing how to size a task has not solved the problem in the past and wont in the future... it's root cause addressing that's needed, smarten up the feeder/distributor assembly to know not to slap the same current median on newly distributed tasks so SNAFU's wont impact volunteer clients. |
