Initial public release - SSE2 Linux optimized Seti@Home client (5.15)
Simon:
Rom Walton is working on better CPU detection for Linux and Windows, AFAIK.
Not sure how far he got in doing it, in any case, I found a small asm library that does it all nicely (and is easily extensible and GPL'd). I may release (no promises) a BOINC client as well (however, not optimized for benchmarks!) that has some extra features from trux' sources (CPU affinity etc.) as well as better CPU detection.
It ain't rocket science ;) Still, until those code changes make it into the stock BOINC client, it will be a manual fix to get your CPU info to look like BenHer's.
Regards,
Simon.

It is a program meant to be run in text mode (i.e. no KDE). the ncurses library enables all sorts of menu-driven text-mode apps, YaST too ;)

...O.K., then I will test it! :)
Thanks a lot!
...and of course, I will tell you my experiences... ;)

This will be nice...
...you will make it like this, that the results will be reportet immediately (return_results_immediately), like in Trux Boinc V5.3.12.x36...?
Simon:
Like I said, no promises.
It is a feature that is often requested (even though it really just makes the load on the main servers higher, which is why it was disabled in the first place). I count it among the less useful ones, but who knows :)

Simon.

Hello Simon!
Thanks a lot for your time and support!
O.K., now I have few problems, again... ;)
When I start BOINC:
./run_client
Then I have following messages, too:
2006-08-20 13:52:54 [---] get_local_network_info(): gethostbyname failed
So the problem is, maybe I had not wrote any hostname in/after the installation from LINUX.
(...when you install Windows, you must give/write a hostname...)
So I must do this now in LINUX too?
Because when I would like to start the new program, with:
./boinc_manager
I get this messages:
gethostbyname: Success
ERROR: can't connect to boinc-client (can't resolve hostname)
Why I cannot start the new program? :(
Greetings!
BTW.
Iīm little bit confused too...
Because under LINUX you can not let run BOINC like under Windows?
You donīt have the same Window with the options?
Or you can let run it under Xwindows under LINUX, then you have the same screen like under Windows?
BTW #2.
I wanted to download the program (boinc_manager) the first time without "login" and then at the login- screen I quit the work...
And then I started from home/ login to start the downlod...
I say this, because to inform you, that I was it who downloaded it 2 times... ;)
...because at the link to download, there is (downloaded: 2 times (now)) :)
