There's no validator running. There's no quorum to be met. They will remain pending for ever. They will never "clear".

Message 40310 - Posted: 6 Aug 2010, 4:26:49 UTC - in response to Message 40308.  

Only the last of those mentioned is still in progress; the others have all been completed OK.

The last one hasn't returned a trickle since January 30th.
Have you looked at the graphics? Does what is in this post describe what you see?

Transient is right. CPDN doesn't use this Boinc validation and pending process. The word pending is there on the workunit pages but it means nothing for CPDN.

The CPDN models are quality-controlled in some other way (I don't know the details) to eliminate results from the small number of models run on unstably overclocked computers. There are also control models which I expect are used for checking.

There are sometimes other red Boinc messages on workunit pages saying things like Too many tasks, The workunit may contain an error. These mean nothing for CPDN. They're only there because other projects use these things. Sometimes CPDN tasks do contain an error (for example HadSM models that become iceworlds) but Boinc never produces a red message about our models' real problems.

I wish these irrelevant Boinc comments didn't appear.

So Blurf, your tasks all completed and there's no problem. You got the credits and the researchers got your results.
