1) Message boards : Number crunching : DENIS@home app for Raspberry Pi 32-bit? (Message 2249) Posted 25 Jan 2024 by denismac Post: I have several 32-bit Raspberry Pi's that could be used to process DENIS@home projects. Will an app be developed for the 32-bit Raspberry Pi models? If so, when? Thank you.
2) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Computation error on Mac OS 10.6.7 (Message 2043) Posted 13 Mar 2023 by denismac Post: Thank you, Jesus Carro. I would like to use the old 32-bit iMac for DENIS projects. And, if a 32-bit application was available, perhaps many others with old computers would also crunch for DENIS@home. Also, would the 32-bit compilation run on a Raspberry Pi? With millions of those computers now in use, an application for that platform could potentially bring a lot of additional participants to the DENIS@home project. Thanks again for your continuing help.
3) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Computation error on Mac OS 10.6.7 (Message 2036) Posted 9 Mar 2023 by denismac Post: This is probably the reason the work units are failing immediately on downloading: I've determined that my computer is running in 32-bit mode even though the processor (Intel Core 2 Duo) supports 64-bit. As I understand it, some version 7,1 Macs will boot into 32-bit only because those computers have a 32-bit EFI. Apparently my computer is one of those; Ive tried to boot into 64-bit mode, but it stays in 32-bit. Unless you have other suggestions for getting this computer to run DENIS, I'll remove the project. Thanks again for your help.
4) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Computation error on Mac OS 10.6.7 (Message 2035) Posted 9 Mar 2023 by denismac Post: Thank you, justakiwibird and Jesus Carro, for your replies. My computer is an iMac, version 7,1, that can't be upgraded to an OS later than 10.6.7. Since the DENIS@home application 0.01 has a minimum requirement for the Intel 64-bit Mac platform of OS 10.5 or later, I was hoping it would run DENIS@home. Thanks again for taking the time to help me get this old iMac to do something useful while it's mostly sitting idle.
5) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Computation error on Mac OS 10.6.7 (Message 2030) Posted 8 Mar 2023 by denismac Post: I just added DENIS@home to my BOINC projects and all tasks downloaded end immediately with "Computation error." This is on a Mac with OS 10.6.7. How to get this to process work units successfully? Thank you for any help you can provide.
