Update: Add 32 bit Linux SSE2,SSE3 Download binaries only: (copy&paste the link to a new tab otherwise you'll get an error message) Linux 64bit SSE3: http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__sse3.tar.bz2 Linux 64bit SSE2: http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__sse3.tar.bz2 Linux 32bit SSE3: http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_32-pc-linux-gnu__sse3.tar.bz2 Linux 32bit SSE2: http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_32-pc-linux-gnu__sse2.tar.bz2 OSX 64bit SSE3: http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_64-apple-darwin__sse3.tar.bz2 Windows 64bit SSE3 (AMD compatible) http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_64-windows__sse3.zip Windows 64bit SSE2 (AMD compatible) http://www.boincunited.org/opt_apps/denis/denis_1.05_x86_64-windows__sse2.zip Join Team BOINC United now!

Hi Crunch3r. How does this stack up against the app from sesef posted a few days ago? :) Would be running on Windows using E5-2xxx v3 and E5-4xxx V1/V2 processors. |

Did some testing of the optimized applications from Crunch3r and Sesef. Testing was done on a quad socket E5-4640 V2 running 2012 R2 Server. I used the same .xml file for both as I was originally renaming the .exe file; but then gave the .exe files unique names and edited the .xml instead. (From what I read, the flops portion of the XML file is only used for estimation. To the best of my knowledge this was the only thing different between the XML file from two apps, aside from the 'Friendly Name', so didn't see any harm in doing this) The results I saw favor the app from Sesef. YMMV! TEST #1 TEST #2 TEST #3 |

Still, kudos to Crunch3r for compiling a cross-platform optimized app. Not everyone uses Windows. ;) |

Absolutely! :D If I were using Linux right now I'd be all over his apps. Figured I would try and help the project by testing what I could for those who were interested. :) |

Hey guys, just a quick question. Is there anything special you need to do to get this working ? I mean I tried several of the provided archives and after applying the "update" DENIS stopped working, I couldn't get any new tasks from the server. I stopped Boinc, I copied the files from the archives to the necessary folder and then I started Boinc again. Is there another step I'm missing to make it work ? Btw I have Windows 8.1 with Intel i5 CPU and AMD GPU. |

Hey guys, just a quick question. Is there anything special you need to do to get this working ? I mean I tried several of the provided archives and after applying the "update" DENIS stopped working, I couldn't get any new tasks from the server. My standard check list when swapping the optimised apps: -Disable new tasks (in client) -Let the current tasks finish. -Close BOINC Client. -Exit BOINC client in bottom right icon menu thing (name escapes me atm) -Copy APP to the poperlocation detailed somewhere above (I have it on a shortcut) -Open up BOINC -Allow new tasks Not the best as I'm not sat at a BOINC box, but I hope that explanation helps. Use Sesef for Windows+Intel CPU. Use Crunch3r for Linux and/or AMD CPUs. You can use CPUz to check your SSE2 and SSE3 compatibility. |

Yup, that worked for me now. Seems the trick was as you said, to disable new tasks. Cheers for the tip ! And now ...... OMG, I mean WOW !! What the heck did you guys modified ? This is crazy fast. What took an hour to finish now takes 5 minutes. It's bloody insane, that's what it is ! |

Update: V3, added SSE41, speed improvement Linux version works fine, but both SS3 and SSE41 versions of this end up with immediate Computation errors on OSX. Version from 1st of October works. |

Update: V3, added SSE41, speed improvement Sorry, please download the osx files again. I've linked "libstdc++" statically this time. |

Kudos to sesef!! I crunched this project to the 3k level, took 4 days with all 5 of my CPU cores. The next step to the 30k and 42k levels seemed too daunting to me as it would have taken months. Since installing the optimized app, I should reach 42k tomorrow (or when pendings validate) after only 5 days of part-time crunching. After a short break, I may just go after the 300k badge. |

Hello Download the file and extract it into the C:\program data\Boinc\projects\Denis directory and restart Boinc. |

AVX2 version. Download: http://optos.sesef.pl/denis or https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1452459/denis/denis1.6.1_avx2.zip You should get up to ~30% speedup depends on cpu type, on new Intel Skylake even more. |
