Is it working?

Installed (I think) the optimizer for amd dual core. Task now shows setiarhome enhanced 5.15.  If ths is the enhanced version how did it get on all of my machines? I have five on a basic network, only installed on one machine.

If it is working, and copied itself to all machines, how do I know it's ok for all machines? Two are dual core amd's, single core amd, and two hp intels.

PS for those of us over the age of 30 PLEASE CONSIDER USING A FONT LARGER THAN 6 POINTS SO WE CAN SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D

Press <ctrl> key while looking at most browsers and use your scroll wheel to change font sizes.

The program only gets installed where you install it.  The EXE wont copy itself anywhere, you must perform that action.

Enhanced has been the "name of the normal" seti for many months now, this is just the optimized version of that code.

Which version you use on your varous machines depends on what they are able to do and how well each version works there.

Later AMD Dual core or single core (usually called Athlon 64 or Sempron or other AMD names) should use the generic SSE2 version.

Middle range AMD Athlons  (Athlon XP)  should use the Generic SSE version.

Lower end Athlons (Just 'Athlon'  with no XP) should use MMX version.

The HP Intels are, most likeley, at least Pentium 4 CPUs.  But you would need to check and confirm this.  The generation order of Intel naming is

Pentium III
Pentium 4
Pentium 4 HT (Prescott)
Pentium M
Pentium D
Core Duo
Core2 Duo

Any system between 4 HT and Pentium D would benefit from the SSE3 version, probably even the Core Duo (not core2).  Core2 would work, but not be as fast as KWSN version 1.3.

Otay,  I thought I followed the instructions.   Sse2, copy all files to the Seti project folder.  Restarted Boinc, even restarted machine, no change.  Suggestions?

BenHer:
The current, already started, WUs will finish computing with whatever cruncher was used to start crunching them.

The new cruncher shouldn't begin working until a new task begins crunching from the beginning, and with every newly started WU from there onward.

[newly started = status( ready to run) and progress( 0.000% ) ]
