We need to get a 32 bit linux machine to compile it on... I thought Dave had one but it's not looking like it. If anyone wants to compile the latest code for it and send us the binary we can make it available that way as well.

(update) I'm going to see if our linux system will let us compile 32 bit binaries, if so we can probably make it available today.

Update to this -- We got some pre-compiled 32 bit linux boinc libraries, so we can just link our app to those and hopefully things should be peachy-keen. Hopefully have a 32bit linux app out tonight or tomorrow.

Got some nm_test25s and the 04 linux 32bit client.

Still have the checkpointing problem, client crashes on a restart.

[edit]Otherwise its finished a work unit correctly.[/edit]

No problems - valid.

Creditwise it's exactly the same as milksop's app on my Q9550.

Ok Travis, I have downloaded your new stock app to see how it is going, mainly as you are going to cease the 1.22 Op app anyway and I could not get work.

They run quite a bit longer than the Milksop 1.22 op app.
(I have had to be very quick to get the results, even then I only got a couple then they were gone).

The 'test' WU's run about twice as long as the Milksop app but the 'stripe' WU's run heaps longer and vary between different stripe versions (79; 86 etc).

Also the run time between Windows and Linux is still quite a bit different to each other on the same WU type. Windows is much faster, this was the case on the original stock app, Milksop's app and now your new app (v0.04).

AMD Opteron 285 Linux FC6....'stripe79_1' WU...3,652 sec, Op App..389 sec
AMD Opteron 285 Windows XP...'stripe79_1' WU...2,837 sec, Op App..351 sec

As you can see run times on near identical machines is slower with Linux.

(I have noticed some variation in the run times of 'stripe79' WU's, so maybe it is not as consistent as the previous work units).

The 'test' apps on my Linux machine run for about 910 sec on 'test26' and 920 sec on 'test27'.
On my Intel P4 2.53 the 'test25' work units run for about 1,269 sec, not much slower than my Opteron, which user to be twice as quick at doing a WU.

Maybe I need to learn how to compile source code on Linux ???

With the longer Work Units I have not had too much problem with the 8 WU limit per CPU.

Thanks Travis and Dave for all your hard work on this.

EDIT:-- Have just read another post (post is '20 work unit limit') about the difference in 'stripe79' and 'stripe79_1' and why they are not the same length.

Thanks Conan! I was going to run my windoz down and check #'s on Linux but I guess since you've already done it I'll stick with Windoz!

There's an issue with checkpointing v0.4 and lower, this should be fixed with version 0.6

As you can see run times on near identical machines is slower with Linux.

It might be because Linux manages power differently from Windows, running BOINC applications at a slow CPU frequency in order to save energy. See more details here.

And what with linux machines with gcc libs older than 4.2.0?

Is it too much to ask that the application be linked with the GCC option -static-libgcc in order to avoid this issue?
