Manual testing on CPU list

[Fred]

Can anyone identify what might cause this entry at the bottom of my CPU list? (screenshot attached)

I have one manual assignment running on the MacbookAir, but I see that listed in my CPU list and it's running trusted software, so the random "Manual testing" in the CPU list (listed as untrusted software) was confusing.

It's always been there for me, even before creating manual assigments.

I started once to answer this question, but realized that I am too deep in the whole "Manual Assignments for Trial Factoring on GPUs" scene to give an answer free of all sorts of assumptions.

I would venture that your table shows a category (Manual testing) which you at least triggered, even if there is no current assignment, nor reported results.

2nd Edit: Manual testing can include CPU, GPU, TF, LL, LLDC, P-1, and others, depending on how you choose to get your assignments. (IE: through PrimeNet Manual page, or
GPU72, MISFIT), and what kind of assignment you are claiming...LL, DC, etc....

I hope the more knowledgeable folk here will enlarge on my comments. ;-)

Correct, once you ask for a manual assignment, that gets added to your CPU list. It is normal and expected. It stays there even if there are no assignment. It is not a thing to be worried about.
