Have an llrWOO that two of us have returned with a status of "Completed, validation inconclusive", and have a third in progress on the same task.

Same unit to different hosts with different results. A third host should bring the decision, which host returned a faulty result.

In essence, it means that at least one of the two computers returned an incorrect result, but it's not known which of the two is wrong. A third computer is therefore sent the same WU, and will presumably match one of the two results.

Please look at this WU: http://www.primegrid.com/workunit.php?wuid=214386299
Three times marked as "Completed, validation inconclusive". How is it possible? | |
|

It is very possible. I have one that has 6 validation inclusive results.
It means that all of them have returned different residues so another is sent out until two of the results match up, those 2 results get credit, then all the other ones are marked as wrong and get no points.

Thanks for info. I thought that the third result is always conclusive. | |

If several of the machines are severely over-clocked, ALL of them can return invalid (different) results, so all are marked inconclusive.
