New compiles of Rev-2.2B code released

Simon:
Thanks for your replies guys,

maybe we can figure out something for the future. However, 2.4.x kernel systems really won't be a major focus; I do realize this is a bother for people (I still have some 2.4 systems myself running Slackware, but they do just fine with the 2.2B apps).

The scheduling problems with BOINC are interesting; for me, 5.8.x works as well as 5.4.11 on two Pentium-D boxes. The only errors I had there were because the initial SSE3-P4 version had an accuracy problem.

We'll see what we can figure out, and the sources plus some info on how to get the thing compiled will be online soon.

Regards,
Simon.

Simon and everyone,

I use all kind of flavors of 2.4 applications (sse, sse2, sse3, sse2-generic) with RHEL3 and boinc 5.4.11 as well as boinc 5.6.4. I have not seen any problems running multiple seti apps at once, up to 4 per SMP system. The errors you are seeing may be environmental.

clk:
Howdy all,
This is to report that the problem I reported earlier in this thread is no longer a problem.

I.e. I had seen, on multiple boxes, errors when more than one instance of the new Seti 2.2B code were run simultaneously ( with hyper threading on these boxes). What exactly was the cure, I don't know. After a recent update of the RHEL3 system software I noted that there had been an update of glibc to 2.3.2-95.50. I do not know if this new glibc package is the cure, but it triggered my curiosity to retry the 2.2B code again on these RHEL3 boxes. And, Viola, everything works great. So, on 4 different RHEL3 systems I've now run the 2.2B code with no problems.

I still don't know why I had problems with the 2.2B code on RHEL3 boxes while michael37 (see preceding post in this thread) did not. I would hazard a guess that maybe he had more updated systems at that time, since I have to test new updates for compatibility with our software applications before installing them.

Anyway, I'm now pumping out data faster than ever with the 2.2B code running on all the boxes (except an old SGI and SUN). And when the opportunity arises I'll install the even faster 64bit code on all my Linux boxes.

Thanks again for all the effort. Czesc, Chris

Simon,

I tried to install 32-bit SSE2 generic for 2.4.X linux, but I got the following error:

<core_client_version>5.8.16</core_client_version>

Is it true that I need GLIBC_2.3.4 for 2.4 version also? (I think I tried both 2.4 and 2.6 release and got same error).

Thanks

I've uploaded some new compiles of the Rev-2.2B apps.

Contrary to the initial apps, these will not be static/statified, but instead come in two flavours - Kernel-2.4 and Kernel-2.6.
Should you still have trouble with libraries and/or segfaults, please post in this thread; still, 2 versions per app should be enough, I hope.

The compilation platform we used, Suse 9.2, is really not all that current - if your libraries are still not recent enough, it's probably high time you upgraded.

The download links remain the same, if you had trouble with the initially released applications, please try these.

Also, the SSE3-P4 app that was initially released has some accuracy problems; if you're running it on any of your hosts, this version is a required upgrade - you'll lose credit and turn in invalid results if you don't upgrade.

Regards,
Simon.

It does require GLIBC 2.3.4, can you upgrade you host ?
