	Cool! Are you registered at lunatics.at yet? If so, tell me your username, and I'll give you full access to the development area - it's a bit easier to keep track of development all in one place :o) Regards, Simon. ____________ Donate to SETI@Home via PayPal! Optimized SETI@Home apps + Information

	Hi Michael, you're added and should now see some extra boards and download categories. I'll put together a tarball with the current sources for you and post about it in the Pre-Release Linux board.

Thanks for participating! Regards, Simon. Your most welcome. I will take a look at it after Christmas...probably some time middle week. This cool? ____________ http://www.mikesbawx.org/photo/

	That sounds great :o) Happy holidays, Simon. To be honest, I have barely looked at it so far...holidays has me strapped down with relatives visiting and parties. And I got a house full again this weekend. :/ ____________ http://www.mikesbawx.org/photo/

	Slacker ;o) Seriously though, nobody's setting deadlines, so please enjoy the holidays and, always, family comes first! Take care, Simon. ____________ Donate to SETI@Home via PayPal! Optimized SETI@Home apps + Information

	Hi, I 've been using boincmgr in order to compute SETI@HOME workunits on an AMD-64. However, boincmgr seems to be optimized for Intel processors (since I use same manager on an Intel processor on another pc, and the RAC there is higher than on AMD64 - which should not be the case). KWSN, I read your link on optimization, however, these are instructions for Intel-based processors. Is anyone aware of womething similar for AMD64 processors? Wouldn't a simple parameter like -march=k8 at compilation produce correct results? Thank you in advance for any help, - dimis - ____________

Thank you in advance for any help, - dimis - Hi Dimis, First, please note that BOINCMGR does not actually do any computing. It's simply a front end to control all the projects you compute for. BOINC will download a science application that actually does the data crunching, but that's it. Second, all of Simon's (Chicken's) optimizations have a "generic" version, which can be used on AMD chips. I'm using a generic SSE3 on an Athlon 64 X2 4200+ right now. Just be careful you don't download the "Intel" specific optimizations, which have Intel in the description name of the app. ____________

	Does anyone have instructions on how to compile seti_boinc for PowerPC Linux (say, YDL) with altivec support? I seem to run into trouble because the altivec source appears to expect Mac OS X. Thanks very much. ____________
