I'm wondering if there are any plans to support BOINC clients natively compiled for Windows ARM64? Right now I should be able to run the Windows x64 BOINC client, I plan to test it later this month, but having native client and also native executables for individual projects would be much better. Based on some benchmarks, apps running natively on Windows ARM64 are much faster thatn emulated x86 or x64 apps. ID: 114703 · Reply Quote

Derzeit haben wir keinen nativen Client für Arm64. Wir verfügen jedoch über einen Pre-Alpha-Nightly-Build. Sie können ihn hier finden: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/actions/runs/12522071419/artifacts/2367061283 Bitte starten Sie die Datei 'setup_installer.exe'.
