Third will be SoG too so if real difference exists it will be hidden again.

We're not gonna fight them. We're gonna transcend them.

Here's one that looks interesting to me. The stock Windows CPU app, which appears to be running on a stable machine, found a pulse that my SoG r3556 didn't. The potential tiebreaker looks like it will run with the x41p_zi3j Petri special.

Workunit 2339625908 (12ja09af.10207.31262.13.40.18)
Task 5314735816 (S=10, A=4, P=1, T=0, G=0) v8.00 windows_intelx86
Task 5314735817 (S=10, A=4, P=0, T=0, G=0) SSE3xj Win32 Build 3556

(Jeez, can't even tell where the links are, at least at the time of posting. Trust me, they're there. Just wave your mouse around 'til you find them. An Easter egg hunt in November!)

On this next one, the counts are the same. The potential tiebreaker looks like it should run with Cuda42.

Workunit 2339653758 (20mr09ab.23439.316789.7.34.220)
Task 5314794045 (S=1, A=0, P=1, T=0, G=1) v8.00 windows_intelx86
Task 5314794046 (S=1, A=0, P=1, T=0, G=1) SSE3xj Win32 Build 3556

Are there any changes in r3571 that might impact these kinds of Inconclusives on my hardware? If so, I'll update. Otherwise, I'll keep running r3556 for now.

Nothing that should affect validation.

We're not gonna fight them. We're gonna transcend them.

Here's an Inconclusive WU with the new v8.20 (opencl_intel_gpu_sah) app. Both hosts appear to be reliable, but there's a pretty significant difference of opinion on this one.

Workunit 2362230258 (blc4_2bit_guppi_57424_80446_HIP9480_OFF_0004.32591.831.17.26.143.vlar)
Task 5362735823 (S=0, A=1, P=7, T=1, G=0) v8.00 (cuda42) windows_intelx86
Task 5362735824 (S=0, A=0, P=2, T=0, G=0) v8.20 (opencl_intel_gpu_sah) windows_intelx86

I've got the potential tiebreaker on one of my hosts. It's initially scheduled to run as Cuda50. However, since it's a VLAR, it might get rescheduled to run on the CPU if there's headroom in the CPU queue when that host boots back up in about half an hour. Anybody got a preference as to how it runs?

EDIT: Okay, looks like there wasn't room in the CPU queue so it's still scheduled to run as Cuda50, but probably not until late tomorrow afternoon. That means there's still plenty of time to change it if desired.

Could be worth adding to the pile of potential hurdles, as I wade through the alpha code (please email if you have it). Though the special apps don't have a horse in that particular race, and the problems in that look to be mostly isolated now, extra weird edge case tests could come in handy in the long run looking for more weaknesses.

If you mean the WU file, it's still on the server so just click on the WU name link in my earlier post to d/l it.

I'd suggest CPU as that's the reference by which all others are judged.

Cheers, missed that. Have quite a collection now...

True, but I'm not running stock. My CPU app on that machine is SSE3xj Win32 Build 3330. I don't know whether that dilutes the "gold standard" or not.

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=2361131630 might be a worthwhile one to look at too.
