Optimized Astropulse 5.00 for Linux 32 Bit... download Problem

<< < (2/2)

Lloyd:
I'm just slow on the uptake, I guess.  Or maybe just plain ignorant.  Or perhaps a combination of the two.  I admit I've been away from this for a long time, because I didn't run SETI at all for quite a while.

I'm primarily trying to find 32bit linux SSE2 apps, to install on a CLI-only linux server.  I also need to check and see if I ever installed the optimized app or apps on my Opty box.  I suspect I've never run the Astropulse optimized app.  And I see that there's a trick to running both. Or at least there was at one time, apparently.  I wasn't able to find any real details on how to set up the app_info.xml to run both.

I do have AK_V8_linux32_sse2 and app_info.xml,  dated 6/8/2008 and 6/6/2008 respecively.  I know the linux server has SSE2.  Assuming the Opty has SSE2, also (which I think it does - and I'll double-check with cpuz, of course) - would this be the one to run on both, or just the linux server (which has P4 Xeons)?  Is there a better app somewhere for the linux server?

Turns out I only need multibeam, anyway.  I turned off Astropulse in my preferences because the WUs are too darn big, although they would of course take a lot less time if I were running the Astropulse app. 

And what's this I saw somewhere about needing an optimized client to go with the optimized app?  Is this true for the CLI, or just for the GUI, or not true at all?  I saw a post from a guy saying his RAC went back up significantly when he combined an optimized client with an optimized app.  And I have seen elsewhere that people claim that the credits your computer claims have an impact on how much you're actually credited with.

I won't discount the possibility that this all amounts to pure  baloney.  I'm hoping that someone around here who is actually knowledgeable can straighten me out.

Sorry to be such a dunce about all of this.  I really have looked around a bit (including meta searches using Vroosh), and haven't found all the pieces to put together yet.

You can get the latest combined packages from arkayn's site, but at the moment it seems to be down.

I just sent off an email to my host to find out what is going on.

arkayn:
My site is back up now.

Cool.  Thanks.
