Windows optimized SETI@Home clients - Initial public release
Simon:
You do realize you're asking a lot there, right?
Auto-updating is a feature I've thought some about, it would be pretty work-intensive to make from scratch. Nevertheless, it's on my To-do list, and will be announced if I manage to do it.
Regards,
Simon.

I don't know much about this but would it be easyer to modify Boinc instead to look at the file versions on your site for updates periodically instead of putting it in the app? If someone wanted to get really fancy sometime in the distant future i hear theres a new boinc beta that detects cpu instruction abilities

Hi Roger
You can have a look at BoincStudio, by DocMaboul.
A damned good free tool that can do "one-shot updating" on multiple machines, and much more.
Still in beta version, but I use it on a ~ 40 rigs farm, with good satisfactions :)

yeah, I noticed that his apps run more quickly on AMD systems, mostly. Shows me there is still room for improvement :)
I don't know what kind of trouble the MMX app is making on your slower Athlon - did you run Crunch3rs MMX app on it before without trouble? ...

Hello Simon!
Thanks for your work!
Before I had your Windows MMX 32-bit V5.15 'Chicken Good!' (R-1.2|+fversion|mmx) on my AMD K7 600 MHz my PC worked fine.
Now back with Windows MMX V5.12 by Crunch3r itīs O.K. again...
It was only my experience maybe there are more people who have MMX PCs too to tell us their experiences...
And I changed the app too on my AMD K8 3200+ back to Cruch3rs app... because his is faster... ;)
No no I donīt want to reduce your work!
No itīs only like this, that I would like to have the fastest app for my PC. :)
Maybe you can ask Crunch3r how he had done it with his apps for the AMDs...?
Or he can have a look to your apps...?
Or all the good guys who made the old optimized apps come together (of course you too, because you are a good guy too! :) ) and you all together make super special apps...
I saw on the community side of S@H that Sir Ulli have the same CPU like me, maybe you can have a look, or we send you our ARs and times...?
Maybe this help you to optimize your app?

I would like to support you too!
Greetings!

EDIT:[/color]
But I donīt know the Version of Sir Ullis K8 3200+ (754 or 939)
My is the 754, and I have 256MB more RAM (3x256MB)
Simon:
Dirk,
Ich versteh Dich schon ;) Ich verwende selber auch noch auf einigen Hosts Crunch3rs Programme, weil meine zwar fast, aber eben nicht ganz so schnell sind auf AMDs.
Anyway - there is always room for improvement :) I've been in contact with a lot of the "old guard" of optimizers. Some hints need to be investigated, yet, but I really don't think Crunch3r is coming back to S@H, because I asked him for exactly that (or maybe some hints or his sources), and he said no (which I fully understand and accept).
Regards,
Simon.
