Posted 3 days ago by MJH333 Post: I do not get failures anywhere near what you get:If your Validation inconclusive task is found to be Invalid, your invalid percentage will be 0.75%, which is pretty close (on a small sample) to that calculated by cuphi. Not obvious to me why it failed:Your Linux result was initially compared against a Windows result which gave rise to an inconclusive validation. Another task was issued, this time to a Windows machine, and the two Windows results validated leaving your result invalid. |

Posted 3 days ago by MJH333 Post: I would like to urge the computer scientists behind DENIS@home to find methods that reduce the number of invalid results. It might not easy. It might not even be possible. However I think it's worth the effort.The scientists are aware of this and have said that they are trying to improve it. See https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/forum_thread.php?id=266. In that thread, entity points out that most of their invalids occur where the tasks are done by machines using different operating systems. This is also my experience. Entity suggested that the project consider using Homogeneous Redundancy, but this hasn’t been implemented to date. |

Posted 27 days ago by MJH333 Post: I'm trying to figure out how Denis counts points vs WCG vs Rosetta as per my 5950x thread in WCG.I'd be interested to hear if you find differences between the performance of the CPUs on the different projects. I have similar AMD CPUs to you. I've mainly been running Rosetta recently. Cheers, Mark |

Posted 27 days ago by MJH333 Post: Bobby, I assume that all your results have been purged from the database. I doubt that there is anything wrong with the system, because I can see your list of computers and their average and total credit on the website. Looking at my own list of tasks, I currently have only 3 left showing, all reported on 27 March, 1 at 10:12:28 UTC, 1 at 15:35:11 UTC and 1 at 21:13:22 UTC. The order in which tasks are purged will not necessarily follow the date order in which you return them. This is particularly because your task will need to be validated against a wingman, and the wingman's task may be returned much later than when your task was returned. In the case of each of the 3 tasks mentioned above, my initial wingman did not respond and a further task was sent out to a second wingman before validation. Cheers, Mark |
