Redundancy Checker

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

[edit] General

We call the program which chooses the Canonical Result the "Redundancy Checker" or "RC" for short. The Redundancy Checker chooses the Canonical Result based on agreement with other Results from the same Work Unit Set. Agreement is seen when signals contained in one result match value for value with signals contained in another result from the set. We don't insist on a exact match, as signals that really do agree may vary slightly because of Floating Point Round Off Errors and the effects of Differential Chirping. We are pleased to find that usually only a tiny fraction of results do not pass the redundancy test.
