2.4V updated apps.

[Crunch3r]

Howdy,

there are new apps ready for download both Windows x32 and x64 incl. GFX enabled ones, ALL are new.

You can see there's been a little change in the name tag as well, 2.4v ---> 2.4V is the new one .

There will be a credit multiplier shown in the log file (stderr.txt).
Those apps are compatible with a soon to be released 5.28 stock application that reads the credit multiplier from the workunit header.

EDIT

Make sure you have a look at the app_info.xml first ! There might by typos in there. So to make sure all will work, have a look for yourself

I think the app info is incorrect on the AMD SSE2 version, it reads filename "sse" not "sse2". also the amd version executable reads intel em64t when you mouse over it and file does not mention amd after its unzipped.
Just an observation

Thank you for all your hard work Simon and Crunch3r
I appreciate it greatly, as do others.

Thanks. I did fix that file name issue. (that's what happens when you compile apps all day long  )
About the "Intel EM64T" you don't have to worry about that one. The apps are based on the x64 source tree. That's all it says.

Note....
There is a very small bug in the app_info.xml files which causes a 'unparsed line' error that is listed in the Boinc startup messages. It is caused by an extra blank line in the file just before the very last line. It does not cause any problems. You can ignore the error in Boinc, everything works fine. Or if you are so inclined, you can edit the blank line out of the app_info.xml file.

Where one can  get some info about "GFX" version?
Is it mean it use GPU for part of work? What video cards are supported if any?

GFX means that it has the visual effects turned on.

No use of the GPU whatsoever.

Ah... pity

Hi,

unfortunately, the KWSN_2.4V_SSE_MB.exe crashes immediately after the start, see http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=42098

I know, i fixed that one  2 hours ago. Please download it gain. The zip file should be dated 03.09.07 - 16:02 .

The user who had first reported the crash of the SSE app has downloaded the new one and posted that it started OK.

Thanks. I did test that one on my old SMP PIII 500MHz. There was and issue in regard to the choosen chirping routine.
However if the app does not crash in the first minute when i does it's optimial function selection, it will work and validate....

Could anyone list 5.28 over 5.27 improvements, please?

Could anyone list 5.28 over 5.27 improvements, please?

it's faster and compatible with 5.28.

We did bench it on several WUs on different CPUS/OS. That's the major difference between your tests and ours. You only do run a single WU and we did test it with a whole bunch of different WUs both line Feed and MultiBeam(ARs)

A second user also reported that the new compile started OK, and a WU in progress that completed with the new app validated, so methinks we're in the clear on that one.

[Raistmer]

Great news!  
BTW, could you please point out test WU that best suitable for speed comparision?
Sure whole bunch gives most precise picture but maybe some faster approach is valuable for comparision of different systems?
