Topic 195410

After a WU is finished it says ready to report so i update as soon as i see that. In the last few times i see this in messages "10/27/2010 10:06:27 AM Einstein@Home Message from server: Completed result h1_1155.55_S5R4__493_S5GC1a_1 refused: result already reported as success
".
Then i check to see if its pending in the list but its not there. So far this has happened 2x. Seems to only happen on GC types and not always.
How can it already be that when its just finished afew min. earlyer?

tnx

Edit: Forgot the 1st instance this message is seen "10/27/2010 12:36:36 AM Einstein@Home Message from server: Completed result h1_1167.15_S5R4__430_S5GC1a_1 refused: result already reported as success
". so far just the 2.

That is no error message, it just informs you that the result was reported twice and can only accepted once. If you check your Messages tab (or the log file stdoutdae.txt), you'll probably find reporting attempts with errors [edit]previous to the one you listed.[/edit]

If you look at the task list of this one of your computers, you can click the "Show names" link [edit]in the Task ID column.[/edit] Then you'll find this task (h1_1155.55_S5R4__493_S5GC1a_1), which has already been granted credit.

Ok so things like that never

Ok so things like that never show up in my pending list and no credit for the CPU time spent because it was already processed by another system?
Why would it be processing data it already did or was already done some place else?

Bit confused is all :)

Lol: Ignore me.. i think i see what you ment kinda :)

Tnx for the feedback.

Just to make sure :-)

The links I gave, were of your task (pending) list and computer.

All tasks are processed by (at least) two computers and both get credit. Only when the results don't match (or one computer encounters an error) another task is sent out.

I will just ignore the random message and not worry about it :)
