Your standard app can typically be found on a Windows PC in Ok; but I was using the standard app yesterday; and didnt delete anything. Would boinc have deleted it by itself? |

Boinc deletes the standard app whenever you add an optimized one to the folder. ~It only takes one bottle cap moving at 23,000 mph to ruin your whole day~ |

Your standard app can typically be found on a Windows PC in Ahhh, well that would explain why I couldnt find it then, lol!! ok, so then I will remove the opti app, let boinc copy down the standard app, then copy the executable for it and ru the test to see if I get the same result. I will let you know what happens! |

Your standard app can typically be found on a Windows PC in Don't remove the opti app only rename the app_info.xml. If you remove the opti, BOINC will be return your actual wus with error when it can't find an app with to crunch them. When the next wu is downloaded, then the stock app too. Logan.

Your standard app can typically be found on a Windows PC in Sure--now you tell me!! Oh; well. The standard and optimized app gave different numbers, so it looks like it does not work properly. In any case; I am back using the standard app and will stay with it for now. Thank You to everyone who walked me thru. I do appreciate it!! Thanks Beau |

I am having problems doing the comparison. I downloaded the test files without any problem, then duplicated the folder, one to run with the stock app, and one to run with the opt app. Oddly enough, I was able to run the opt app in stand alone mode just fine. It is with the stock app that I am having problems. The opt app (astronomy_sse3_app) "out" file says: searchname parameters [8]: 0.670000000000000 13.500000000000000 -1.734601060000000 33.352644669999997 27.423781280000000 1.244802812944947 1.914950983451476 2.500000000000000 metadata: this is the metadata fitness: -3.106718478181371 But when I try to run the stock app (milkyway_0.7_windows_x86_64) in stand alone mode, I get no "out" file. The stderr file says: Will run in standalone mode. APP: error resolving search parameters file (for write): -108 filename: out resolved output path: out So I've hit a wall, in trying to compare the stock app to the opt app. FWIW, this is with XP64. |

You might need to remove the previous "out" file (generated by the other app) and the checkpoint file it generates. These were in completely separate, duplicated folders, from the top "milkyway" on down. In any case, I deleted the files from the opt folder, tried running the stock app in the stock folder, and got the same problem. I tried deleting the opt folder all together with no success. |

You might need to remove the previous "out" file (generated by the other app) and the checkpoint file it generates. you might need to just put an empty "out" file in the directory for the stock app... i think i've seen this problem a couple times. |

@ Travis Why linux, OSX, and Win stock apps gave different results with the same wu? Best regards. Logan. BOINC FAQ Service (Ahora, también disponible en Español/Now available in Spanish) |

@ Travis At what level of accuracy? |

you might need to just put an empty "out" file in the directory for the stock app... i think i've seen this problem a couple times. That fixed it. Here are the results. Each app's results is repeatable, but the stock result does not match the SSE3 opt app result. Am I correct in assuming we should be looking at the fitness value? 1st opt app run: searchname parameters [8]: 0.670000000000000 13.500000000000000 -1.734601060000000 33.352644669999997 27.423781280000000 1.244802812944947 1.914950983451476 2.500000000000000 metadata: this is the metadata fitness: -3.106718478181371 2nd opt app run: searchname parameters [8]: 0.670000000000000 13.500000000000000 -1.734601060000000 33.352644669999997 27.423781280000000 1.244802812944947 1.914950983451476 2.500000000000000 metadata: this is the metadata fitness: -3.106718478181371 1st stockrun: searchname parameters [8]: 0.670000000000000 13.500000000000000 -1.734601060000000 33.352644669999997 27.423781280000000 1.244802812944947 1.914950983451476 2.500000000000000 metadata: this is the metadata fitness: -3.046272445362277 2nd stock run: searchname parameters [8]: 0.670000000000000 13.500000000000000 -1.734601060000000 33.352644669999997 27.423781280000000 1.244802812944947 1.914950983451476 2.500000000000000 metadata: this is the metadata fitness: -3.046272445362277 |

@ Travis So I guess this SSE3-Version saves the party for us. Result of the Test-WU: fitness: -3.046272445362275 |

I just ran the SSE2 app on that same machine. The results matched the SSE3 results. So neither SSE2 or SSE3 match the stock app. Are these the apps from the MW.rar download? If not, would you please specify exactly which apps you tested? Thanks Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

So I guess this SSE3-Version saves the party for us. Yes, I also got fitness: -3.046272445362275 But that still does not match the stock app output of fitness: -3.046272445362277 |
