 I'm wondering why this is.  "Patience is a virtue", I can't wait to learn it! |

Maybe this project hasn't got any real "reliable" machines yet (i.e. additional copies are simply sent to other random devices without checking reliability)?

DSFL, SN2S and GFAM have periodically been getting clogged up due to the issue with VINA having some of the newer AMD processors in their own homogenous redundancy class. When they get clogged, one of the ways to clear it is to drop the 'reliability' feature temporarily so that the workunits get assigned faster. It is likely that this workunit was assigned during one of those times.
We are working on making the 'VINA' projects capable of running without redundancy. That will accelerate their research as well as reduce this issue. |

Thanks for the reply, I just checked and there are only about 850 FX series CPUs in use at WCG.
