Linux x64 AP v5.05

[arkayn]

Not in beta downloads, but in the beta section of the forums.

Still have to be a squire to access that part of the forum.

Without appearing as a spammer trying to get his post count up ( ), how many posts until I get promoted ?

Five, you have two more to go.

Guys, please test the released astropulse clients. If there is no interest in them then there is no point releasing future ones.

I would love too, but I do not have any machines currently running Linux at the moment.

I just d/l'd the AMD one and will be setting it up right now to test it on my dual core Ath64...

[lordvader]

Well I'm willing to test. I'm gonna up my posts, then download when I get home from work tonight.

[lordvader]

Last one (I hope there's AP units available !)

[lordvader]

Downloaded and installed.

I'm assuming this version isn't compatible with 505 units ?

Is there anything I need to do to my boinc/seti config to get 506 WUs ?

Don't be fooled by the name, it is really a 5.05 client.

You have to change seti@home preferences in your account so that "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications". Also turn off seti@home enhanced in the selected applications list.

Since Urs has posted:

NOT FOR RELEASE. Not Intended for distribution or use on main.

and the Seti Beta project only uses Astropulse, and Doesn't use Astropulse_v5 or Astropulse_v505,
you Don't need to set  "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications" to yes, leave it at no,
just make sure you select Astropulse to yes (the Astropulse_5 entry doesn't do anything) and deselect setiathome enhanced.

Edit: see: optimized AP

It might be irritating a bit that linux has a different application name, but that is also the case with the standard application. Check the SaH applications page for the actual version naming. Important is only that 5.05/5.06 produce comparable results for the validation process.

So I've been running AP overnight. 4 units completed, none validated, but 1 did fail with a computation error :

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1339613053

Hopefully there's some info in there for debug. My CPU isn't overclocked, and isn't overheating, so it's probably not that. It may be a completely random error though ...

*EDIT*
2 computarion errors.

Is this the best place to report these errors ?

[arkayn]

I don't think you can run it on the main board yet, it is only for the Beta at the moment.
