After you install the optimized app above, just add the default stock application to your app_info.xml file. Here is mine for reference.

The standard opti app is all that is needed, but the app_info file needs the nbody info added. They don't use a specific app themselves.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

There are no optimized apps for nbody.
All optimized apps are for separation WUs only; while they still work and give correct results, I expect them be outdated in the not so far future. The latest official separation app is v0.50 from Dec. 10.

The nbody app in the app_info.xml above is from Matt from Sept. 14, 2010.
The actual nbody app is milkyway_nbody_0.21_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu from Oct. 19.
I would update to this latest version even if the results of your v0.07 still validates against v0.21 results. There has been a lot of code cleanup between those 2 versions.

I removed the CPU apps from the site due to them being completely outdated. I only have the GPU Windows apps up currently.

I see that the source code in
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/code_release/

is also out of date at about the same time (version 0.19). Do you know where the latest source code is (version 0.50)?

Seems like the whole project is focusing on GPU and leaving us CPU crunchers out to dry.

I had no idea that existed. I put stuff here: http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/src/

There are several sticky threads (in the Application Code Discussion forum) with the old link at the top.

Thanks for the updated link. Seems like there needs to be some forum thread cleanup.

It jumped from .21 to .50 in a short time. Due to a few corrections in the newer app I believe.

Seems that way. For awhile in the beginning there was a lack of acceptance of GPUs.
