Results discrepancies
(Message 25510)
Posted 26 Mar 2013 by carpe noctem... Post: "We assume that the probability of getting the same wrong answer twice is very very small and can be ignored." What about the results from cpu releases with known design errors, which were resolved in a next step, but are still in use and produces errors in just a few small situations? Voltage Peaks at the same time in two different countries are possible, too. Most of the personal computers doesn´t have redundant components like ecc ram, ups etc. If you need reliable results, i guess it is necessary to send tasks out to more than only two hosts. There also exists other projects in the distributing computing world which also need reliable results and the scientists there discover the necessarity to send one task up to eighteen (!) hosts at the same time. Sorry for my bad english.I hope you don´t mind it. It is not my native language. |
