How have you set up your script? Experimental vs Nightly is something
that you have control over. See:
<http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewNotes.php?buildid=450579>
For some reason though, your submission doesn't have a little 'notes'
icon next to it. Not sure why that is.

They are really failing, but its probably because of your setup, as Berk
explained.

It can take a little while to get a new dashboard stable.

Exactly. You need to get down to about 0 failing tests before working
on your own changes. I've never got down to 0 personally, there are
some tests that fail on some GPUs, for some reason.
