Is someone here who can compile optimized code for
setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu_beta (Seti-enhanced)?

The wu´s from both Seti projekts are the same. 354KB
With the optimiced client YAOSCW-K-r8.1 for the Seti projekt i need 1:50 and on the Seti enhanced (Beta) i need with the original enhanced Client 3:18

I would like to compile the boinc client with Intel's C++ compiler for Linux.
After setting CC="icc" and CXX="icpc", the ./configure choked.
Does anyone have some instructions about how to do this?
I know Metod has done this, but I just want to play with the CFLAGS
for different cpu types.

Is someone here who can compile optimized code for
setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu_beta (Seti-enhanced)?

I don't believe they've released the source code yet.

is there an optimized windows version of setiathome_4.18_windows.exe (for barton core XP-M and Pentium M) available?

is there an optimized windows version of setiathome_4.18_windows.exe (for barton core XP-M and Pentium M) available?

I should probably research this as i'll probably turn out to be wrong Skip, but i believe 4.18 is the same as the previous app except this has working screensaver graphics.
The optimized apps tend to leave the whole graphics part as part of the optimization.

They have. There's an email on the boinc_dev mailing list sometime in the last few weeks that explains how to grab it via CVS.

Great thanks for the info. After reading this I went off and looked at some other threads... seems I need create an updated app_info.xml but I haven't figured that one out yet.

This is what Heffed wrote in a different thread( YAOSCW r8.1 (optimized client for Windows));

You didn't change any of the info in the app_info.xml file pertaining to 4.11 did you? (specifically the version_num line)

It should look like this: (greater than and less than signs have been changed to [] so they won't get stripped out)

Forum stripped out the spaces, so don't worry about that.


This the way I think you need to change it to run out all of the worked marked 4.18 and then it should continue running 4.11.

Well I made the attempt at just renaming the .exe to 4.18... didn't work and lost a couple units. Used your suggested file below, reset project and it seems OK now. Should've gone this way first and I'll go try another machine now. Thanx, Skip

HeHe... Yeah, check the date of the post Rob. ;) That was on the 20th, before Eric told Tetsuji where he could get it.

Does anyone know which compiler has been used to make the posted windows binaries?

Intel's C compiler plus Intel Performance Primitives (aka IPP) library to speed up the FFT calculations.

Metod ...

Well I disagree. In terms of the criminal law that is truely the case. In respect of civil law then Intel's action would be against Tetsuji not against anyone who unwittingly used the object code. If you read the licence you will see Tetsuji was in breach in any event as it clearly states that "....YOU MAY NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY PORTION OF THE MATERIALS, AND THE APPLICATION AND/OR PRODUCT DEVELOPED BY YOU MAY ONLY BE USED FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES....". That is a condition that is applied to the licensee and cannot include you. He should not have distributed it beyond himself as it was his evaluation not anyone elses. But anyway.......the licence cannot extend to a third party.

Look at all the people hit with lawsuits and fines for having illegal mp3's on their machines. They didn't copy it from the CD. They didn't distribute it. They were in possession of it. That's all that matters. By your logic, they weren't a party to the license, yet a court of law found them guilty of copyright infringement.

Heffed is correct. Intellectual property is treated (under civil law) as illegal drugs (are under criminal law). Possession provides the sole burden of proof necessary to prosecute.

In the case of MP3s, the above applies. In the case of COMPILED software, the law would apply to whatever is distributed, in this case the derivative of the source, NOT the compiler.

Metod, Sorry, my question wasn't clear, so now I don't know what you meant.
Did you mean the official binaries or the optimized versions?

I wanted to know what the official binaries were compiled with. Thanks!

In other words, does that mean that I don't have to worry about distributing applications that I write, because they are compiled from my source? Or does it mean that I can't because they are linked against M$ and other DLLs/Libs?

Back on topic, I tried to use GCC to compile, but the CPU reporting doesn't work because of the way that CygCygIpc.dll handles all the CygWin Shared Memeory structures. This meant it was looking for the shared mem in the wrong place. Take the hint, don't compile under CygWin!

That's where it gets messy...you can claim rights to only your originally-created portion of the code, hence a disclaimer you'll sometimes see: 'portions copyright so-and-so, all rights reserved.'

If the .DLLs in question are considered 'public domain', redistribution would not be an issue. If not, then the individual redistributing is dancing in the 'gray area' that is only sometimes enforced (depending on how much money is at stake in the threatened loss of revenue in the free exchange of the code in question).

In the truest sense, you are in violation, but I doubt that the 'Microsoft Police' are going to be knocking on your door (unless the app becomes VERY popular and they decided that THEY can market it).
