Windows optimized SETI@Home clients - Initial public release
DeNitro:
Simon and a couple other very talented guys have been working on optimizations to the client and I've been working with them incorporating the changes into EM64T builds to test. The progress on the whole range of clients is looking great.

Subject: Re: [Boinc_opt] Is there a 64bit version available?
Take a look at http://calbe.dw70.de
There's the archive containing the 64 boinc client and manager.
Note:
1. install the 32 bit 5.4.11 boinc first
2. then you need to replace all files in your boinc directory with the ones
in the archive.

I am running Linux only, but maybe some of you guys want to try and report how much faster this client really is? ;)
Simon:
Hi Chboss,
he only has a 64 bit BOINC client online, not a S@H science app. So that still may help because according to him, it sets CPU affinity and does a few other tricks - AFAIK those are all in the 5.7.xx codebase and will eventually be available as a "stable" version (5.7.xx is the development tree).
But, it won't change a lot for S@H crunching. The good thing about it is that now you can easily run a 64-bit Windows science app via BOINC, which previously didn't work for everyone (for the record, it did for me).
Regards,
Simon.

Hi Simon
You are right I misread and misunderstood his mail... ::)
However maybe the first step to a 64bit S@H science application?
In any case I am not too interested in the Win version, I have only 64bit Linux and Mac boxes left in my farm. ;)
Thanks for your update.
