Hi!
----------------------------------------Please, optimize your applications to make science run faster! SETI@home is already doing this then why not WCG. Please, make co-operation with the BOINC-developer team to make optimized apps automatic. Nowadays, user has to install optimized apps manually.

The WCG developers already optimise the science applications to the best of their ability.
This has nothing to do with the BOINC developers. |

The WCG developers already optimise the science applications to the best of their ability. I do not believe that they use the full potential of SSE(1/2/3)/SSSE3 -instruction sets. If they do, apps would not be compatible like they are today. For example, SSE3-optimized app would not work on SSE2-processor at all. That is why the co-operation with the David Anderson's BOINC team is necessary. To make BOINC automatically download the correct optimized app. This has nothing to do with the BOINC developers. I thought you already switched to BOINC. Hmm? PS. Please, make all you can do to take the full potential of SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4/SSE5 -instruction sets. That would give us LOTS of more computing power. [Edit 3 times, last edit by Henri Tapani Heinonen at Oct 16, 2007 5:24:47 AM] |

BOINC is since 5.8 capable of identifying the exact CPU/feature set and *is* communicating this back to the servers. With that DA's job is done.
----------------------------------------Presently about 16 science versions are running and a further 4 will be added with an upcoming project release (Cancer) and the parallel DDDT phase 2 scheduled to run in the near future.

parallel DDDT phase 2 scheduled to run in the near future. Parallel to DDDT phase 1? [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 16, 2007 3:50:08 PM] |

Wrong forum, wrong thread
---------------------------------------- See para 3 of the project website technical detail. Word *was* that phase 2 would start before phase 1 finishes, but it's all dependend on other successful launches. Call it experiment 1 feeding experiment 2 in a conveyor belt set up with a storage bin in-between
