Posted 20 Mar 2024 by Vorik Post: Read the first post in this thread by the admin. The BOINC issue will not be solved until the BOINC maintainers release version 7.26 of the BOINC code which contains the fix for properly detecting all AVX capabilities of the host processor. I did read the whole thread including the first post before posting. My interpretation was that the bug affected only the avx512* applications, not the regular avx_* ones. I suspected that a small mistake happened when adding the new avx_512 application to the server configuration and wanted to report this issue as I thought it might be fixed easily. Thanks for the app_info.xml file! I might try it later should I find the time. Wanted to read into the whole Anonymous platform topic at some point anyway. BOINC doesn't reliably report all necessary features on all platforms. Windows is the most important one, but the same issue is on BSD and Macs all of them have their specific way of detecting features, so we have decided to develop a new app that selects the best implementation at runtime instead of relying on what the BOINC client says. It's already in the testing phase. Sounds exciting - thanks for your efforts! |

Posted 18 Mar 2024 by Vorik Post: Do I need to switch anonymous platform ? Cause I always get SSE3 app and never get AVX/FMA ones. I think my CPU 5700X support these. My i5-4460 on Pop OS, also running BOINC 7.24.1, is also assigned SSE3 tasks since the new AVX512 application was released (it used the AVX application before and still shows avx and avx2 under processor features). I already reported this in this thread on 2023-12-20. I assume this needs to be fixed on the server side (presumably there is either some misconfiguration or maybe a bug in the BOINC server version used). |

Posted 20 Dec 2023 by Vorik Post: Since the new AVX512 applications have been released my i5-4460 has been consistently assigned the sse3_linux application, while before it was always using the avx_linux application. Here is the switch (until 12-06 avx, then starting with 12-09 sse3): https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?userid=10900&offset=280&show_names=0&state=0&appid= The avx_linux tasks required less CPU time, so I wonder why my PC is now assigned the sse3 application? I also wonder why the sse3 tasks grant higher credit? |
