Yeah i know, it feels like christmas eve and simon is santa.

Simon, I think that you shouldnt eat,sleep or go to the loo; but instead stay at your pc until you have completed the optimized clients !!!

*snooze*yawn*

Wha? Who said that?
I tried, MacBeth

After 46 hours my body said "no" though...not much longer to wait now.

Simon.

Still trying to figure these boards out...I posted to you but not sure where it ended up...Guess we all better just be patiant as we don't want to stress test Simon, we need him rested and working...LOL

[Simon]

We've entered the final test phase with the Windows optimized clients - a release is imminent.

The release will probably happen within the next few hours.

Simon.

I'm sure this'll seem like a strange idea but maybe when things have settled down with the optimized apps and your sure they're all safe in live boinc and your trafic has settled a bit  You could maybe create optimized apps compiled with graphics. Like I say seems silly to put graphics in with the optimized but some people might like to have a little extra speed plus the graphics for their screeensaver?

I don't know how much affect that would have on performance, think I remember you saying something like 10%, and if it would negate any speed gained from optimization. Also don't know if anyone would want that.

[Simon]

A project for the future

I agree that should be an option, and Josef said it actually adds about 1% to the speed when you're running via BOINC and not standalone (and not activating graphics).

Simon.

I notice a couple of people have had a little trouble with the cpu extensions (mmx-sse ect). Some even say cpuZ has got it wrong and told them their machine would run a version it then wouldn't.

Maybe You could modify your pretest benchmark package with one of the very short WUs and then people could run that -if in any doubt- and get a clear answer which apps will run ok on their system?.

Or just add a small copy of the benchmark for the specific app download in with the download so people can test that app on their system before installing it? Just to check for themselves. With just that app bieng tested and a short unit it probly only take 5-10min? I think thats sort of what your asking people anyway.
Not sure if its all really necissary
[EDIT]
Would the option in 'c/c++  -  optimization  -  intel specific' - require intel processor extensions, stop it from running the app if can't run the extension version? It can be set to xK xN xP xB. Says it will do a run-time check for compatable processors.
