http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1451643950 I don't understand why I got an invalid on this wu when the other two crunchers got credit. And it's the only one sense I restarted crunching again. Avians and Myrmicats, the Octospiders, and the Humans all living in one huge cylinder in space called RAMA. |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1451643950 Probably your result didn`t match the signals from your wingmen. Its nothing on your side. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1451643950 Oh well, it is what it is, thanks for the input Avians and Myrmicats, the Octospiders, and the Humans all living in one huge cylinder in space called RAMA. |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1451643950 made link clickable looks like stderr is truncated. Known issue. Don't worry about it, just bad luck. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |

The two valid crunchers show the exact same counts. Spike count: 28 Autocorr count: 0 Pulse count: 0 Triplet count: 0 Gaussian count: 2 You show Gaussian: peak=3.484241, Spike: peak=24.21002, The odd invalid once in a wile is nothing to worry about. If one gets them constantly though there is a problem. |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1451643950 Not really. Old OpenCL apps had different signal finding on -9s. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

he shows 2 gaussian and a few spikes before stderr bit the dust. If it's signal ordering it is still a known issues, that may have been addressed since. And it's bad luck to have so few signals coincide that you get an invalid out of it. Anyway, same over all message - nothing to worry about. The odd invalid just happens. If you start to get lots of inconclusives and subsequent invalids on a host, then that needs attention and possibly some TLC. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.

The two valid crunchers show the exact same counts. Well I hope it doesn't happen to often, it just seemed a bit odd to me. Avians and Myrmicats, the Octospiders, and the Humans all living in one huge cylinder in space called RAMA. |

I once got 200 errors in one day from WUs that were never sent. The servers hated me that day. Nothing to worry about as there was no penalty or real harm. It just looked bad until they cleared. |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1451643950 Yes, really. The stderr doesn't get to the line containing "result_overflow". Joe |

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1451643950 This looks like a problem which we discussed recently at considerable length in Strange Invalid MB Overflow tasks with truncated Stderr outputs.... It meets all the criteria: an overflow task, but not all the 30 signals are spikes. And RAMA's task isn't showing the vital "SETI@Home Informational message -9 result_overflow", without which the v7 validator won't pass a result without autocorrs. There are three possible solutions to this problem, none of them quick or easy, and none under the direct control of an individual user like RAMA. 1) We could - collectively - try to work out why the operating system (Windows only, I think?) is writing truncated files - more frequently these days, it appears to be, but only on some machines. If we could identify the cause, we could perhaps identify remedial measures under the user's control (exclude folders from virus scanning? Turn off folder contents indexing? Just examples of the sort of thing which can introduce a delay, and which can be mitigated - not saying either example is directly implicated here). 2) Wait until the developers have developed, and the testers have tested, replacement stock applications which can be deployed centrally for all users. 3) Persuade Eric (or rather, help Eric to find the time) to implement the changes to the validator logic that Joe suggested, so that the informational message isn't so critical. But I suspect that can't happen unless we all club together to buy Eric an infinite supply of.... |

Greetings guys, I'm gonna chime in here for a bit. I just updated to V7.2.42 3 days ago. I check my stats virtually every day. I saw that I had one invalid yesterday. Today, I have 2. To my knowledge I had never seen a WU go invalid. These are my 2 invalids: 1.) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=3439726615 2.) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=3439726622 Just some more food for thought. :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS?
