Posted 30 Dec 2013 by Andrew Dicker Post: Has to be asked... Mac? I have a 680MX that would be nice to run. Happy to be an app_info'd test case if you need one, and willing to try compilation if needed (tho i guess i'd need the nvidia cuda sdk, which i don't have). My windows machines thank you and add a... 430... and a 760 to the mix. will report the pain and glorious (or otherwise - these would be DP float calculations right?) times of those when I've had a few tasks. Cheers, Andrew |

Posted 22 Nov 2013 by Andrew Dicker Post: I don't have any older versions of BOINC currently installed, but from memory this is what has been reported for a while. This message in the boinc_dev mail archive suggests that macs have reported SSE3 for a long time, but doesn't show avx (BOINC 6): http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_dev/2013-August/020294.html |

Posted 21 Nov 2013 by Andrew Dicker Post: So, I know that the scheduler will send machines tasks from all app versions to find the fastest, but i've noticed my two macs only got sent tasks for the old app, and the new sse2 app. I have not seen any sse3 or avx tasks. The axe reporting issue on windows isn't a problem on mac, but it does report avx1.0, not avx as i believe linux does. So, are any tasks for the sse3 and avx apps being sent to Macs (without app_info/_config), and it's just the scheduled hasn't tried my machines with any yet, or are macs reporting different strings to the scheduler's expectations and not getting any? http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=42399 FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM PBE SSE3 PCLMULQDQ DTES64 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1 SSE4.2 x2APIC POPCNT AES PCID XSAVE OSXSAVE TSCTMR AVX1.0 RDRAND F16C http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=42397 FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM PBE SSE3 PCLMULQDQ DTES64 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1 SSE4.2 POPCNT AES PCID |

Posted 17 Aug 2013 by Andrew Dicker Post: Fair enough. I could app_info a test app if thats needed. |

Posted 16 Aug 2013 by Andrew Dicker Post: Again, any news on the mac front? Since the mac apps are relatively new, I assume that means you have been able to build them recently, in which case what is stopping mac builds of the optimised code? I'm crunching on both mac and win, and the time difference is noticeable. |

Posted 9 Aug 2013 by Andrew Dicker Post: What about a mac version? Or is it compiled with these optimisations already? |
