Metod,

Sorry to leave you out in my earlier post...I suggest this idea to you also.

Ah, well, I'm kinda lazy. If you send me a diff (example or something), I might do it.

Metod ...

Is an average of less than 1hr good? ;)

Any chance of getting a SSE3 version that works with A64 (San Diego and Venice support SSE3)?

Sent you an e-mail Metod with the diff Ben gave to me :)

We'll put it in on the next compile we do :)

btw your Results are amazing... :)

overclocked this Host, normally times under one Hour are not normal for this Computer...

The Yahoo! site, where these files are located for download, seems to have reached its quota. Could Maverick - or someone else - please make them available through an 2nd site also? Thanks!

They are also at:
http://home.arcor.de/jojo4ubin/seti/
(but would be nice to have a readme file there also
so it can be easily known what files are for what)

Thanks and keep it up dudes (and dudettes)

Hey
I'm worthless of this c++ stuff but is this to anyone out there to start a SETI build to the X86-64 platform?

Been there. But they are just for Athlon 64. I'm looking for the others, like for instance P3 or generic.

After downloading from http://home.arcor.de/jojo4ubin/seti/ and following directions at the beginning of this thread, (including the backup thank goodness,) BOINC started up by reporting that each WU could not be linked because 4.09 could not be found. [edit it was there, I assume the app_info file told BOINC "you WILL use 4.11" /edit] All WU's were deleted and BOINC wanted to start downloading. Fortunately it couldn't connect immediately and I was able to yank the plug; Restored from backup and all is well again.

May I therefore assume that one must begin with an empty queue to do this upgrade? Several message below lead me to believe that BOINC didn't care about the fact that this is ver. 4.11.

????

Thanks and Regards

Will this client work with the new 9nm Sempron parts that support SSE2:

setiathome_4.11_windows_jo-athlon64-sse2_1105-1.exe

Or does it also HAVE to support 64bit instructions?

Where did you got the "9nm" Sempron? I know that Intel and AMD is making only 90nm chips :).
That client works perfect with a Pentium 4 @ 1.3GHz (with SSE2) - so it is a 32 bit client.

If you are referring to the 90nm Semprons, it does work pretty well. In fact a tad better than the P3-SSE client.

The new 4.11 app will finish up any 4.09 workunits you have remaining, however you must use the correct app_info.xml file to do it. Everyone should really be using this one since it works in both cases, whether you have units to finish up or not. Make sure you put it in the seti@home project directory along with the new 4.11 app and it should work fine.

Right-click here, then save it to your disk.

After reading this thread, I also want to try those optimized clients for my CPU which is a Prescott 2.8Ghz with SSE3 support (no 64-bit support).

Here is my experience:-

First, I make a back-up of my BOINC folder (thanks god I have done that)

Then I downloaded app_info.xml from http://www.andyk.de/app_info.xml and put it in /projects/setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/

I then downloaded boinc_4.27_windows_jo-Pentium_package_1305-1.rar from http://home.arcor.de/jojo4ubin/seti/ and extracted all the files in it (boinc.exe, boincmgr.exe, boinc.dll, boinc.scr and compiler-switches.txt) into the BOINC base directory.

I then runs BOINC for quite some time, but I noticed that my processing time doesn't really decreased from the usual 3-4 hours each WU. Another thing I noticed is the SETI client is still at version 4.09. Is that normal?

belldandy,
I see you used andyk's xml file, so what you are seeing should be teh finishing off of any WU's you already had. My understanding (and experience from this very thing last night) is that they will finish off under 4.09 at the same time as normal, but once you report and refill, you'll bump to 4.11 and times, at least for me, dropped from ~9,500 seconds per to ~5,400 per.

Check the difference between 18 May 2005 0:15:52 UTC and 18 May 2005 1:50:14 UTC.

Thanks Dig, I'll give it a shot first chance tomorrow.

Actually, looking at my results, while my WU times are certainly shorter, my credit per seconds ratio is remaining exactly the same at ~0.003112 credits per second!

> If you are referring to the 90nm Semprons

oops, typo...

Anyway, I made an app_info.xml that works here for migrating from either:

setiathome_4.09_windows_intelx86.exe

or

setiathome_4.11_windows_intelx86.exe

to

setiathome_4.11_windows_jo-athlon64-sse2_1105-1.exe

You may want to check it for typos... :-)
Maybe someone who knows more about this than I do should take a look at it...
Anyway, again, it works here...

BTW, the 90nm Sempron does work fine with the setiathome_4.11_windows_jo-athlon64-sse2_1105-1.exe client.

Download the app_info.zip here:

http://www.citilink.com/~beyond/app_info.zip

and unzip it...

Just to keep things tidy: I understand now why my credit/second figures are remaining the same after reading a bit more.

The get the reduced processing time you have to get the optimized seti client, which has a name similar to "setiathome_4.11_windows_...". This was not present in the package you downloaded. This is the actual application that does the crunching. Look in this thread or the previous 2 ones for the optimized seti application. This application is the one you should put in the projects/setiweb... directory alongside the xml file.
