1) Message boards : BOINC client : 64-bit Boinc Linux client that runs 32-bit science apps (Message 7139) Posted 27 Dec 2006 by dumas777 Post: I was bored so I built a 64-bit linux 5.4.11 Boinc client that by default runs the much more available 32-bit linux science apps (no having to mess with the xml files). The client should run on any x86_64 linux version. PLEASE NOTE: the 32 bit science apps will only run correctly if you have the standard 32 bit linux libraries installed, in addition to the 64 bit ones. The client can be downloaded at boese.dnsalias.com:6969.

2) Message boards : BOINC client : Unofficial Boinc 5.7.0 client available (Message 6239) Posted 29 Oct 2006 by dumas777 Post: I have fixed the firewall issues I was having so the download below should now be available. In addition I have also released a sse optimized build of the latest code from the 5.6 branch (currently at 5.6.5). Both are available at the link below. Please note both of these are releases of alpha to beta code and should only be used by those testing and/or those who know what they are doing.

3) Message boards : BOINC client : Unofficial Boinc 5.7.0 client available (Message 6229) Posted 28 Oct 2006 by dumas777 Post: Got bored again and compiled an optimized boinc client 5.7.0 for SSE2 window machines. It is based off the cvs head as of 10/27/06 (no code changes only compiler optimizations). It can be found at boese.dnsalias.com:6969. I know optimized clients don't affect most projects' credits any more (good thing) but I hate running lowest common denominator binaries.

5) Message boards : BOINC client : Newly built 5.4.10 optimized windows boinc client (Message 5204) Posted 4 Aug 2006 by dumas777 Post: Ethically you maybe right and I would do so but it is more work and then no one would download my client. It aint a crime if dont get caught, just kidding :).

7) Message boards : BOINC client : Newly built 5.4.10 optimized windows boinc client (Message 5175) Posted 31 Jul 2006 by dumas777 Post: The fact of the matter is so many people are using optimized clients anyway there is just a lot of haters when someone releases one publicly. Like I said boinc credits rate right up there with $ in video game to me. At least I didnt change the source unlike a lot of other people. If people want to use an inefficient lowest common denominator binary so be it. I guess that is why you still see i386 linux kernels.

8) Message boards : BOINC client : Newly built 5.4.10 optimized windows boinc client (Message 5158) Posted 30 Jul 2006 by dumas777 Post: The main reason I made the build is just for something to do though I have noticed that the boincmgr gui seems more responsive and to lag less than before with the new build (probably also partly due to also optimizing wxWidgets build). I also wanted a snapshot of the code more recent than 5.4.9 (build was off of CVS head on 7/29/06). The one bad thing is of couse the size of the dlls and exe went up some but they do perform better I feel. I will run it until at least the next official release but the whole edge to open source is being able to push the envelope especially as long as it doesnt affect the main priority which is the science.

9) Message boards : BOINC client : Newly built 5.4.10 optimized windows boinc client (Message 5156) Posted 29 Jul 2006 by dumas777 Post: I got bored today and built a new 5.4.10 boinc client that increased the wetstone score about %50 higher and the drystone about %300 higher than the stock 5.4.9 boinc client on my laptop. To use these binaries you must have windows xp/2000 and a SSE2 capable processor. The binaries can be downloaded at https://boese.kicks-ass.net:7000. Enjoy!!!
