I'm now using revision 333 of setiathome and revision 354 of astropulse.

The problem with that astropulse revision is that it effectively kills the --disable-graphics switch of configure, since the developers have made the IMO rather peculiar decision to put the current state into the graphics shared memory. I have some patches to make the switch useful again, but I guess I have to change the source code more than just adding some missing #ifdef BOINC_APP_GRAPHICS ... #endif tags to make it work.

The whole point of releasing setiathome 6 was that the science and graphics part are two separate pieces IIRC. Shouldn't astropulse do the same, for people who cannot or don't want to run the graphics part?

Today the astro/boinc-setiathome-enhanced port got updated. It now installs setiathome 6.03 and astropulse 5.00 (plus the screensavers) from source.

Well Astro needs to be TRASHED as it is wasting CPU time !!!! With the chipset I having been testing........Astro processes in 4 hrs, BONIC around 1 hr.

With the packets transfer, and problems within embedded in Astro from time to time, lets doing something about this.

I continue to receive Astro packets YET I do not scribe them and REJECT them when I monitor the grinding of the data packets submitted to my computers.

I am mad at this continued process. During the summer 08 I had my data wall processing 4k cpu's a day I left them work on a stable platform as I was out of my office, didnt last a month running with out my hand pushing and clear errors.....traced Astro as it was the problem. I have 5 new computers with a total of 200 ghz processor speed between them and willbe be online in Feb 09. This will produce approximately 40,000 cpu's a day. And what will be, to make them harmonize ?? I believe in the SETI cause, I do not agree with the freq bandwith scanned. I have to test my chip designs somewhere...........but what a pain.

sorry for whining

So why not opt NOT to accept AstroPulse in your web-based preferences? Problem solved?

Gaurav has build a Astropulse 5 application which uses the SPEs of the PS3. The application is available for download on my homepage (http://www.dotsch.de/seti).
Thank you very much, Gaurav !

I've released binaries for the new Astropulse 5.03 applications for MacOS Intel, MacOS PowerPC and FreeBSD i386. They are available on my Homepage http://www.dotsch.de/seti

I've fixed a wrong app_info.xml in the Astropulse 5.03 FreeBSD i386, MacOS Intel and PPC applications. I am very sorry for the failure ! Thanks to Arkayn for reporting the problem !

I've released a Astropulse 5.03 application for Linux on IA64 (Itanium).

I've released a Astropulse 5.03 application for Linux for the PowerPC/Power architecture.

I've released a Astropulse 5.03 application for Solaris 10 x86 / Open Solaris x86 for the x86 architecture.

I've released a Astropulse 5.03 application for OpenBSD i386/x86 and NetBSD i386/x86.

And also a NetBSD x86/x86_64/AMD64 Astropulse 5.03 is now also available.

For those of you that have Subscribed to this Thread and are waiting for something New.. New information will be posted in Optimized Applications and Other Binaries - Read Only Please insure that you Subscribe to that thread.

Shortly this thread will be Unsticked, as it has been replaced.
