BOINC 4.25 with the menubar app is nice - but us poor Apple'rs are still stuck with an old, unoptimized 4.02 while 4.10 seems to be the latest rev for Windows. Any time frame on an official, optimized SETI worker? Can I even use the 3rd party workers with the 4.25+menubar BOINC release? |

Anyone with some ideas? Can I use the 3rd party workers with the current (4.43) menubar BOINC for OSX? Does anyone know if new/optimized official workers are coming? |

Go here: http://members.dslextreme.com/~readerforum/forum_team/boinc.html There is an "Altivec" optimized SETI app (bottom of the page) and optimized BOINC clients. The only warning is that if you upgrade to the optimzed SETI app, you will lose any "uncompleted" work units in queue, so run down your queue before upgrading. You must include both the optimized SETI app and the app_info.xml file in the SETI project folder. If you need help with the installation, ask in the Team MacNN forums which are also linked from that page. This app has been used by many Mac crunchers without problem for several months. It is stable and the code is the same project code but optimzed for use with altivec. It works with any version of 10.3.x or greater. (if you have a G4 or greater.) The optimized BOINC clients however require 10.3.9 or greater. They will improve benchmarks but will not contribute anything to shorter crunch times. Team MacNN - The best Macintosh team ever. |
