I can\'t get this client, there is only i686-pc-linux-gnu. Why? |

I dunno, that's what BOINC has always "called" their Linux x86 version, I guess it's the "autoconf name." Can you not run the i686 version? I can't imagine a 586 would run CPDN so well? Even on a Pentium III/500MHz you're looking at probably 6-9 months to finish a model. |

This is a good point. Thanks Matteo |

the "official" BOINC (well SETI/BOINC) releases are Win32/Mac/Linux x686/Solaris so that's what we were shooting for (although we failed on Win98/ME and have no access to Solaris). It's probably best to have x586's do SETI/LHC/Predictor as it is probably risky and too long to finish a run for CPDN (probably 1-1.5 years?) |

What gets me is that running in parallel with BOINC seti@home AVG does not increase. |

I have restarted seti@home to have some results in reasonable times, and CP will run to fill the intervals when seti@home work units are not available (very often). Thanks. |

I also have a number of older PCs lying around that i was planning to leave on 24x7x365 _solely_ running CPDN BOINC. ... performance-wise they are mostly in the league of a PII @ 400 MHz ... ... the Pentium II & III are in the i686 family, but AMD chips with similar performance like the K6-2 and K6-3 are actually more like i586s ( or so i have read! ) .. so they wont run i686 binaries reliably ... ... on the _assumption_ that this vintage of machine (running the CPDN client exclusively) could complete a model in less than 6 months, i want to ask if i586 binaries the CPDN clients (hadXXXs) could be made available ... what do you think ... worth the effort ??? thanks, terse. |
