This thread is intentionally locked; if you want to be notified of new releases, please click on the "NOTIFY" icon above.

In addition, please visit this link and check the first checkbox to receive important announcements and notifications by email.

This way, you'll get notified of new released versions - it works like this: only one notification will be sent, even if more than one version is released. That is, unless you visit this thread in the meantime, then it'll get sent again. It's made to be as unobtrusive as possible, as you wouldn't want to receive an email for each post on a high-volume thread.

Hi folks,

Code Revision 2.4 of the KWSN/Lunatics.at SETI@Home optimized apps has been released.

This new revision supersedes all previously released app revisions (1.x-2.2) for all systems.

The people responsible for this new version are, in no particular order, Josef W. Segur, Ben Herndon, Crunch3r and Alex Kan. A great big "thank you", guys!

All versions except Windows 32 bit were compiled by Crunch3r. Danke! These apps should be Vista compatible. The 32-bit Windows ones (mea culpa) may still have some issues - only on Vista! - please let us know if so.

Thanks also belong to the tireless members of the prerelease test community!

There are various different optimized apps. Please use a program like CPU-Z to find out exactly what your system supports.

Choose the first, in order, your system supports among the two lists (AMD/Intel or Intel only).

32-bit Windows apps

Update: these apps are not fully Vista compatible! New apps will be uploaded shortly. Vista users please stay with either 64-bit 2.4 apps or the 2.2B 32-bit ones for now.

Intel-only apps (do NOT run these on AMD systems!)

Core 2 SSSE3-optimized app (Conroe, Woodcrest, Clovertown, Kentsfield, Merom, but NOT Core Solo/Duo!)
Pentium M/Core Solo SSE2-optimized app
Only use this app on Pentium M-based systems like Dothan, Banias or Core Solo/Duo (NOT Core 2 Duo!).
Pentium 4/Pentium-D SSE3-optimized app
Pentium 4 SSE2-optimized app


AMD and Intel-compatible apps
SSE2-generic optimized app
SSE-optimized app
MMX-optimized app

As always, use these apps at your own risk. A pre-edited app_info.xml has been included with all files. Please unpack the files to a temporary location using 7-Zip (get it from http://www.7-zip.org), then read Instructions.txt in the folder it creates.

An Auto-Installer for these versions will come soon, along with versions including graphics. Everyone who used the auto-installer until now, you could just check which version it installed for you last time and grab that one.

Happy crunching!
Regards,
Simon

New Win32 builds

Crunch3r has made new 32 bit Windows Vista compatible builds of the 2.4 lunatics.at optimized applications, available from http://calbe.dw70.de/seti.html. His testing indicates some increase in speed as well as the Vista compatibility.

When Simon has time, these will be listed at lunatics.at. For now they are only available from Crunch3r's page.

For those running Pentium-M or Core Solo/Core Duo (not Core 2), the Windows_x32_SSE2 version should be best, the specific Pentium-M build option (xB) has been deprecated in the Intel Compiler.
