Initial public release - Rev-2.2B Linux science apps

(1/5) > >>

Simon:
Hi folks,

it's been a long time coming: new optimized Linux science apps based on the same R-2.2B code as the Windows ones have been released.

The Linux Port was done by Crunch3r, Hans Dorn and myself, the 2.2B code is by Ben Herndon, Josef W. Segur and Alex Kan with some compatibility edits by me.

MMX - Intel P1MMX/P2, AMD Athlon
SSE - Intel P3, Athlon XP
SSE2-generic - AMD Athlon64/X2
SSE2-P4 - Intel P4 (Willamette & Northwood)
SSE2-PM - Intel Pentium M/Banias/Core Solo or Duo (NOT Core 2 Duo!)
SSE3-P4 - Intel P4 (Prescott) and Pentium D
SSE3-C2 - Intel Core 2 Duo & Quad

Please unpack the app of your choice ("tar xfvj KWSN-R2.2B--SSE.tar.bz2") and read Instructions.txt inside the folder it creates.

Should you be unsure about which version to use, please type:

"cat /proc/cpuinfo"

This should show you what CPU you have, whether it's an AMD or an Intel one and what its name is. Should be helpful in choosing; if you're still unsure,  please post a reply in this thread about it.

Regards,
Simon.

Whoo-Hooo!!  Yippee!

Thank You to everyone involved - we DO appreciatte all the hard work this has taken!

Unfortunately - when I try to open the downloaded archive, bzip2 reports errors. :(
Running
     bunzip2 -t KWSN-R2.2B--SSE.tar.bz2
yields this message:
    bunzip2: Desktop/KWSN-R2.2B--SSE.tar.bz2: bad magic number (file not created by bzip2)


I've had the same problem on both my Linux systems (one Intel, one AMD).

Is it me, or is there a problem with the files provided?

I've checked the files and their all ok.

Not sure what's going wrong on your side ....

I'd recommencd you to open a shell/terminal and NOT using any other software to extrackt the files.

1. open a terminal
2. "cd" to the directory that contains the downloaded files
3. extract the files with "tar -xvjf KWSN-R2.2B--SSE.tar.bz2"
4. stop boinc
5. copy the new files over the old apps.
6. start boinc again

That's all you got to do.

Roy:
Thanks for the suggestion, but....  command line used and erro message received:

roy@zaphod:~/boinc_temp$ tar -xvjf ../Desktop/KWSN-R2.2B--SSE.tar.bz2
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Not sure I understand - I installed the  "old" Linux version okay.....

Natronomonas:
I am encountering the same error running Ubuntu 6.10, whether I use "Archive manager" or go to the terminal and use bunzip2 or tar to extract the files, e.g.

 $ tar -xvjf KWSN-R2.2B--SSE.tar.bz2
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

It also occurs on the SSE2 version, I haven't tried the others. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks ; )
