Inconclusive results

(moderation:
My PC has been producing falling production averages, and I have noticed large numbers of inconclusive results, should I quit E@H, or is it a data/processing problem ?

Inconclusive results

I see most of your tasks come out all right. But if you're not sure, try a reboot first of all. That will in 99% of the cases solve immediate problems with CUDA, since only a complete power cycle can reset a graphics card.
This is an interesting case

This is an interesting case where a BRP3 CUDA crunched result is in not-so-perfect agreement with a CPU crunched BRP3 result.
Because it's completely different hardware, a certain number of these cases are probably inevitable. Certainly this is something that the admins will have an eye on.

I seem to have one of those with this work unit.
It look like it's being rerun without CUDA.
Just thought it might be interesting to have more to look at.

I've often seen that two GPU results don't validate against a CPU result and vice versa two CPU results don't validate against one GPU result.
I've had at least 10 wu's of this kind recently.

Yup, the WU I posted was validated by the two GPUs, and left my CPU result as invalid. All of my other BRP have come back as valid (as far as I can tell). I hope this isn't throwing off results.
Just one invalid so far: WU

Just one invalid so far: WU 91048526. This time, two CPUs won, and the CUDA was left out.
I can confirm, the case. I

I can confirm, the case. I have a number of invalid tasks, where GPU with inconclusiv result loses against two CPU tasks and gets marked as invalid.
But there are also tasks, where GPU and CPU results match. See WU 91320160

Sorry, don't know how to build the hyperlink
RE: I can confirm, the

I fixed it for you, in the future just put [url] in the beginning to indicate a hyper link and then [/url] at the end to close the hyperlink. You can do that with a lot of things, like using a for [b]bolding or [] for sizing, many things. Essentially it is just like the codes used on a webpage. You just MUST put the [/code] at the end to indicate you are done with that code. If you want to see how it is done you can always do a right click on the page and then click view page source, then you will see all the webpage coding. Most webpage people use this to 'borrow' coding they like for their own pages, some coding is copy written but most is not.

For clarity, the [/xxx] closing tag has to match whaterever tag you used to open the effect - [/code] is a special tag to match an opening [code] tag.
Looking at the page source won't help much, because all the BBcode will have been rendered back into HTML before the webpage is sent out. But there is a help page Use BBCode tags to format your text available whenever you are composing a message.
