All my work units are being sent to me twice for validation (computer 682). https://boinc.tacc.utexas.edu/results.php?hostid=682 Apparently they have seen the same problem at nanoHUB. https://boinc.nanohub.org/nanoHUB_at_home/forum_thread.php?id=49#167 |

By default, all BOINC workunits are executed twice for validation. This validation is executed in systems with the same architecture (OS and hardware combination). |

I think the concept is well known to crunchers, the question arises when the same work unit is sent to the same machine twice. All that does is show that a machine performs consistently, if a gross overclock can produce incorrect results reliably,you pass it. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. |
