Ok. Good start: your optimized AP and SAH MB apps gave me 5x and 2x increase in crunch power
respectively. Funky that I haven't been able to get any AP WUs since disposing of the in-progress
ones I had queued. Lots of messages "Message from server: (project has no jobs available)." Eh?
I've pasted entries for AP 500 & 503 and Seti_enhanced 528 & 603 into the app_info.xml I
believe correctly (I get Seti MB workunits at least).
Now, the interesting part: I'm inclined to take a dig into the AP code and see what I can find. I've
had 30+ years compiler, code generation and optimization experience. I've also implemented
floating point libraries, which might be helpful ;-) I think before I do anything serious, I'll
just lend a helping hand. Anyone have some bug reports or feature-in-a-nutshell work to be done?
I'll need to know where to get sources with the putative bugs. I'm going to work on Linux (2.6 kernel),
in C/C++ and use GNU tools. I've seen build, test and installation instructions elsewhere on this site, so
I'll not bother anyone until I've tried to recreate an app from the extant sources. But send the bug
reports. In time, I'll need an experienced reviewer to help me along.
