I did upload the vm-ware plugin you need to our testproject. Install it on one of our 32-bit machines.
If I have done managing roles and permissions to give you access, I will make a short readme with further instructions on the next days.

Hi Jason,
the readme is up there. If the seti-race is over we can start the experiment. I will PM you if I'm ready to begin.

Cheers Heinz.  Will have a good look a bit later tonight.

Hi Jason
The first experiments to reach the VM's (with your account) over vm-RC client from my intranet has been sucessful, so we can hope to start soon.
Today I will go to my neighbour and try to reach the VMs over internet from there.

Yeah, I didn't have a user & pass to enter, but it certainly tried  I wonder if you have the same VM's running all the time, on the same subnet, so I can experiment with some clustering ideas in the future? Boinc's limitations, under most compute intensive applications, could be leveraged (with alternate means... and some minor modification) as advantages for reliability & performance.

Hi Jason,
vmware plugin:
two modified readme files are up now in our testproject
have a look

Hi Heaiz,
  Will have to take care of dome car issues today first,  then some work to do, but will be able to have another look this eveneing,

problems resolved now, Jason can work on my VM's now 
This give us a wide testfield solving special tasks for our work now.
I have been suffering many years not having the hardware to install and try modern and some exotic OS.
The experts know what I mean.
This is solved now.

So, am I late to the party with this?

Me thinks you guys are already on top of this dev kit 

Intel Parallel Studio

[Jason G]

Tried the Beta.  Hated the removal of the compiler switches I like, then went back to ICC.  They've got basically the same stuff, repackaged IMO, but targeted to a different target customer.

Lol!  I suspected you'd already played w/ it.
Makes sense re: ICC.

[Jason G]

yeah, ICC+TBB really, integrated a bit, so not a bad combo all the same.  The part I founding annoying was the implications (probably due to marketing pressure) that if you recompile your program in this environment, then you get a multithreaded program.  Still little/no mention of processes involved to achieve an effective parallel design, which remains a pencil and paper affair

"VMware Tools" is now running on V8-VM2 openSUSE-11.0-x86_64
To activate VMwaretools, the kernel must recompiled, some modules of VMwaretools must be included into the kernel. This is successful done. 
In the "VMware Infrastructure Web Access" you see VMware Tools is running.
We have now full functionality of VMwaretools in linux.
The VMware Tools package provides support required for shared folders and for drag and drop operations. Other tools in the package support synchronization of time in the guest operating system with time on the host, automatic grabbing and releasing of the mouse cursor, copying and pasting between guest and host, and improved mouse performance. The SVGA driver provides significantly faster graphics performance.

astropulse a short history

it begun with astropulse rev 358
after getting some small difficulties and surprises we had to checkout boinc.
After some work and introducing "Visul Studio 8" we get ap 4.35 rev24b54
Next was some important research in parallel work like
bench fft sse and bench fft see affinity show no difference.
astropulse r69 runs parallel with 8*AK_v8_win_x64_SSSE3x
followed by some research with fft serial and 128K fft serial runs on 1 core.
128K fft parallel as you can see it runs on all 8 cores.
astropulse rev78 runs parallel with 8*AK_v8_win_x64SSSE3x
sysinfo of astropulse rev78pj (parallel job)
test r78 preference job
latest free optimized astropulse 5.03 and RAC
astropulse 5.03 on virtual machine VM1 run parallel with 8* ap5.03 on the host V8-Xeon
influence of astropulse to RAC
astropulse 5.03 highest RAC
and since astropulse has no work RAC drops like a rock

now astropulse 5.05 is in beta status...
