All the benchmark results tell you is how fast the benchmarks ran :) It definitely can't tell if the science application (completely independent) runs at that speed too. You could very well compile the client with -O3 and the science app with no optimizations at all.

In addition, having higher benchmarks could give you more credits, and pointing fingers calling you a cheater.



True, the client is optimized. Not the work applications. Altrough boinc has to work, optimized or not.

Im not afraid others will call me a cheater. And if they do, i'm pleased to share my custom build.

You won't gain any performance by recompiling the core client. It doesn't compute anything.


Yes it does.
Because the general client is build as i686, with no optimizations.
I build it as i486, with sse and and math optimalization level 3.

The results:
Stock client:
Number of CPUs: 2
925 floating point MIPS (whetstone) per CPU
1709 integer MIPS (drystone) per CPU

Optimized client:
Number of CPUs: 2
1306 floating point MIPS (whetstone) per CPU
1918 integer MIPS (drystone) per CPU

Try compiling without optimizations and see if the problem disappears.


Yeah, that will work. But that's not what i want.
I recompiled it to gain performance.

I would like to help, if some developer is intrested to squeeze this little bug.
I can also give a shell to the problem computer ;)

Hey hey all...

I have a problem.
I've downloaded and compiled the boinc client from source.
But now it seems i cant connect to outer world, every request taken will result in a http 413 error (for project attach and acct manager attach)
