@Ned --> Because we both use linux, it should be a quick thing for me to just I'm not playing with ACML at the moment - just don't have the spare time to properly investigate what it has to offer. Strictly gcc/fftw here I'm affraid. Ned *** My Guide to Compiling Optimised BOINC and SETI Clients *** *** Download Optimised BOINC and SETI Clients for Linux Here *** |

@Ned --> Because we both use linux, it should be a quick thing for me to just I'm interested in ACML since i'm playing around with the PGI compilers (amd64) and if time allows it and i dont have to recompile the whole bunch of clients :-) Join BOINC United now! |

--disable-server --disable-gui --disable-dynamic-graphics --without-wx --enable-static=no your two others did not make a difference. i will try other sources, as that library is not in boinc/lib/ in any of the versions i compiled |

ned, 4.43 source you have been using does have that library. the latest releases of the boinc client do not. with the May sources i was able to easily compile harold's 3.1 seti client with fftw3 and gcc-4.0.2 i am currently testing it and will compare it with TBD versions using P2 and K6-2 flags |

Just one question ..sorry if I can't ask for it here... It s just because I m looking for command line for boinc usage...you know you ve got boin_cmd boinmgr and boinc... Can you launch boinc in a terminal ? or you must launch boincmgr ?? |

Just one question ..sorry if I can't ask for it here... On Linux, you surely can. Just launch it ./boinc & (./boinc_client & -- Boinc version 5) On Windows, I have no idea. If you are running windows, you are in the wrong topic. |

... On Linux, you surely can. Just launch it ./boinc & (./boinc_client & -- Boinc version 5) Is that in bash or English? And I suppose you could be awkward and try cygwin! :-O Martin (OK, that lot must be English unless you meant "&&" instead of "&" ...)

OK, a very small sample size for the latest optimised clients for a lowly AthlonXP: Ned's v3.1 (8 or 16 MBytes cache?): 141558138 33746156 Over Success Done 7,818.34 24.00 pending 141518340 33535250 Over Success Done 7,591.95 23.30 31.38 Cruncher's v3.1 (8 or 16 MBytes cache?): 140781388 33556842 Over Success Done 8,433.48 25.89 34.47 140369019 33456229 Over Success Done 8,026.67 24.64 pending Harald's many Megabytes cache monster: 139728870 33299725 Over Success Done 8,204.25 25.18 21.86 139664492 33284017 Over Success Done 7,527.89 23.11 23.11 One of Ned's optimised clients from sone time ago: 131830143 31373256 Over Success Done 10,509.28 31.34 26.94 95144694 22523486 Over Success Done 10,984.40 33.75 32.61 Note that they are listed most recent first. There's a suggestive improvement there :-) How is strong/weak similarity reported for those?

OK, a very small sample size for the latest optimised clients for a lowly AthlonXP: As you seem to be in a test orgy :-) Could you try this "OLD" boinc version 4.19 for me ? Just need to know bench. results and if it can connect to berkeley. Join BOINC United now! |

As you seem to be in a test orgy :-) Phah! Just when I've finally got the app_...xml file sorted! Downloaded... What's it supposed to do? Cheers, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

As you seem to be in a test orgy :-) It's just a replacement for your old boinc version and should kick benchmarks a little further :-) (It's fully static that's why i need to know if it works) Join BOINC United now! |

It's just a replacement for your old boinc version and should kick benchmarks a little further :-) Just looked and that's a boinc client rather than a project client... I'm on phase 3 of a CPDN so, sorry, I'd rather not risk ditching it. If there's no other Athlons around, then I could go offline and try it as a duplicate user. But operator sleep first! (And this Athlon is my server!!) Cheers, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Hehe, yeah it works. ;) It benches over 2x in double and 3x in integer than the 5.x one I compiled. The only thing is these 4.19 clients all left stale sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state on all my machines except the masq gateway, your client does this as well. 5.x clients dont do it on any machine here. Darn downgrade did a project reset too, bummer, but oh well. Can you give me the compile flags you used please? On the XP3200+ (with tvtime running fullscreen on a 2nd display) 2005-11-01 23:02:59 [---] 2412 double precision MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 2005-11-01 23:02:59 [---] 6378 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU M |

@Crunch3r The 4.19 client is claiming about double the credit that my out-of-box 5.3 client does. I tried compiling 5.3.1 cvs with flags I saw in an earlier post... export CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -static -m3dnow -msse -malign-double -maccumulate-outgoing-args -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=4 -finline-limit=1024 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -funroll-loops -fforce-addr -ftree-vectorize -ffast-math -ftracer" but it really didnt like the -malign-double flag. It benched ok, nothing thrilling like your 4.19, but it nagged about results being over quota, giving some really bogus numbers for result size, and I lost a couple wu. Taking out -malign-double produced a working client, but of course the benchmarks sucked compared to this one you did. If you can paste the flags you used, I will try again. M |

@Crunch3r I used the same FLAGS but the benchmark has changed in the new clients. Besides i'm not able to get a working verion of 5.26 or 5.3.1 compiled that can connect to berkeley no matter what i do. I guess there's something messed up with libcurl. I don't like it. Every increase in the version numbers makes it all even worse. Join BOINC United now! |

Yeah, I hear ya there. Oh, well, I will live with stale sockets for awhile and use this one for a bit. I only start messing with stuff when I get bored, so that gives me lots of opportunity to play. M |

I just asking for it because (of course i m linux user) i don't know how to use the "boinc" (i mean the boinc client with with boinc command and not with boinc_cmd or boinmgr)...I m looking for command line to run it... if someone knows them...thx |
Soli Send message Joined: 9 Jul 05 Posts: 13 Credit: 381,566 RAC: 0 |
Actually I use mouse to switch on the boinc client with boincmgr...and i expect there is an other way...like in a terminal... |
