Are there optimized apps for 64 bit Windows?

Besides the GPU app (which is Win64 only), no.
Just use the 32 bit ones, they run also with Win64. I doubt there would be much of a gain for going 64bit in case of MW.

I have put together new versions of the windows apps compiled for specific instruction sets (x87/SSE/2/3/4.1/4.2/SSSE3) with the version number bumped to 0.19. The computation is exactly the same as before (the stock app had to move ;) and so is the performance. But I've put some additional features in:

• user configurable version number in the output file (will explain how it works if it is needed)
  
• diagnostic information in stderr.txt (visible under task details when instapurge gets turned off) like
  
  
  • CPU detection
    
  • output of the crunch time (both CPU time and wall clock time) to recognize demanding background processes when comparing the times
    

Hope it works like intended.

Well it appears to display more info in the stderr output. Identifies CPU and processing time(s).

Thanks.

Well it appears to display more info in the stderr output. Identifies CPU and processing time(s).

It appears to work. On your notebook one can see such a case of a background process eating quite some cycles during the computation

WU completed. It took 515.578 seconds CPU time and 581.424 seconds wall clock time @ 1.995 GHz.

And here some complete sample output for another machine:

Running Milkyway@home version 0.19 by Gipsel
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz (4 cores/threads) 3.50207 GHz (407ms)
WU completed. It took 210.484 seconds CPU time and 210.727 seconds wall clock time @ 3.5021 GHz.

As you say Cluster Physik, much information -

Well the notebook is also my primary work computer so I use it a lot for my research etc. And the virus scanner at times can take a bit of processing, especially when it is trying to update its AV files...

Are there optimized apps for 64 bit Windows?

The 32-bit Windows apps work fine with 64-bit Windows, and will run much faster than the stock app on all platforms.

Indeed. I found the appropriate optimized win32 app to be at least twice as fast as the stock v.19 x64 one on my system. Thanks!

zslip now contains Windows and Linux optimized apps from version 0.16 onwards.

I have created a mirror so that zslip.com is hosted on a Linux server in the USA and zslip.net is hosted on a Windows server in the UK.

Both have the Windows and Linux apps of course ;)

Had to abort a WU that ran on a host running the SSE2 zslip.com code after 6.155 seconds...

It was the second one in two days. If anyone is interested, I caught the stderrout this time:
<core_client_version>6.1.0</core_client_version>

Say is that Crunch3r's BOINC client?

Say is that Crunch3r's BOINC client?

Looks like it.

The one with CPU lock for each WU and report after 1 minute.

Say is that Crunch3r's BOINC client?

I am not hosting any of Crunch3r's BOINC clients or anything of Crunch3r's on zslip.

---

I've used some welcome coding from Exar Kun to improve the layout of zslip which hopefully will make it easier to use. I still need to tidy it up a bit, but the latest Windows and Linus apps are there. Just some historical Linux to add.

Thanks for your help Exar Kun, much appreciated ;)

---

The Boinc client works just fine for quite a while now on that single core host. It's still Crunch3rs v6.1.0 as it ran on my dual core comps and I wanted all comps to run the same CC. Reminds me it's time to synchronize all of them one of these days...
Anyway I just took a look at the particular host and it happens to run another abnormally long WU. It's at 1:45 now, where they usually take 15 to 20 mins. I'll keep an eye on it. Looking at the resultlust for the host I found another one. Took 1:20, validated OK though.

looks much better now!

I doubt those old Linux versions are of any than historical interest...

---

mic.

Nothing wrong with that client as I also use it on one of my machines due to a BOINC benchmarking issue (and no it does not give inflated benchmarks, quite the opposite really, it actually lowered it).

I did get a few errors a while back, but I just re-downloaded another version and all is now ok.

---

OK, I'll remove them then. I'd rather just have what is usable than confuse.

Hmmmm, I see 0.18d MK II need to go up ;)

---

Thanks to speedimic, zslip now offers Intel optimized apps for Linux 32 and 64 bit. These are still based on version 0.18d and I've marked them as 0.18d mkII

linux links are broken. why is their extension .tar.tar? i also tried tar.gz, tar, or zip.
