Post: For what it's worth, I run Linux and if I select a task in boinc manager and look at the properties, one of the things it lists is the cpu time at the last checkpoint. If that's blank, I know that it has not checkpointed. I've also set no new work for DENIS on all my systems until I hear that these problems have been fixed. |

Max tasks per processor

Post: Right now there is a limit of 14 tasks per processor core. With the optimized apps it does not take too long to go through 14 tasks. Plus, when the project runs out of tasks (like it has as I write this), a system can complete the tasks it has downloaded quickly and sit idle if it's not connected to another project. So, would it be possible to increase this limit? Thanks, Charlie |

Optimized app ?

Post: If a system can support both SSE2 and SSE3 versions, is there an advantage to using one over the other? Some very quick tests on my 64 bit Linux systems show pretty much the same times for both versions (and they are about 85%-90% faster than the stock version). Also, any chance of a 32 bit Linux version for SSE2? I've got one lone cruncher of that kind that could use some help. (New to this project, not to BOINC.) Thanks Charlie |
