Hi Simon!

❝ I think Helmut's point is that if you use the Validation Suite and IF there were actual calculation errors in the Reference sets then these would not be identified.


Exactly. I don't think that any vendor would write a validation pack in such a way that known problems are not detected. One the other hand if the vendor is confident that the correct result of 2×2 is 5, (s)he would test exactly for that result.
My original post referred to the funny idea to compare the output on the screen pixel-by-pixel to the reference machine's. ;-) I know this rather 'innovative' approach to software validation was abandoned in the meantime.
BTW, what a coincidence: just returning form a three-hours escapade at Pharsight's extranet. I would bet that the Validation Suite 'believes' PHX's bloody a posteriori power is correct (see also this oldie).
