Running on Linux?

[LP_]

I just wondered how many of you are running Boinc on Linux?

I'm not but some DPC'rs and some XS'rs are running it on Linux but in order to keep it going good and to get a good performance you need to compile it yourself and set up a few flags while compiling. I don't know the exact specifications or what flags during compiling I just know it's not for the newbies to linux. You need some good intelligence before you can succesfully run it at a decent performance

Just curious.

I had Boinc installed on a couple Linux towers, but wasn't running the optimized version.
I just optimized 2 towers running Mepis, but SuSE9.3 didn't like the directions I used and I got error messages, so I'm installed Mepis on that tower and have Boinc installed. Just getting ready to optimize it.

What a pita. :D

Not that this has anything to do with linux but someone needs to compile a Boinc client (or at least some add ins) that allow the use of SSE3 extensions so we can get the most out of our cpus.

I am running the Linux client too. Dont know if the performance is any good, but the benchmark of the 1700+@2.3 is quite low compared to my apxm @ 2.5 which is running on Win Xp.
Will try to compile it by myself soon to see if there is any performance gain.

Any reason why a newly compiled boinc (client) would not let the program connect to the net?
I have one that will not connect when I switch out the boinc file.

I may be wrong here... but isn't that want the "optimized" clients do?

the optimized use SSE and SSE2, they don't have an optimized for SSE3 yet.

:D I knew that just testing you ;)

Thanks for clearing that up.
