RE: The new albert runs

Message 27580 in response to message 27579

Quote:


The new albert runs under FreeBSD in LINUX-COMPAT.
It runs 20% - 25% faster then the old application.
LINUX-COMPAT must be installed, COMPAT4x isn't needed.

Installation:
Wait until all work is finished.

#stop boinc
$ > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/boinc.sh stop
#Log in as boinc:
$ > su boinc
#Change to work dir
$ > cd /var/db/boinc/projects/einstein.phys.uwm.edu
#Get new albert
$ > wget \\
http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/app_test/linux/albert_4.51_i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
#unpack
$ > tar -xzf albert_4.51_i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
#brandelf
$ > brandelf -t linux albert_4.51_i686-pc-linux-gnu
$ > brandelf -t linux albert_4.51_i686-pc-linux-gnu.so
#start boinc
$ > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/boinc.sh start

Thats all. We will distribute a package for easy installation in the next days on our team-site
http://www.cmds.tk/

Done! Everybody is welcome to download Martins good work. Please take a look at the ReadMe inside the .tbz Package.

Warning: Some Versions of FireFox (my too) make an error by trying to open the package, it will be a good idea using: right-mouse-click and "save target as"

Hmm, I thought you're going to do a real pkg_add'able package... just an idea ;)

Still I'll wait for a native app.

RE: Hiya All Quick update

Hiya All

Quick update before I get into car:

1 Hour 12 min and 33% done - getting close to 3 hours 30-ish per WU !

looking good !

Gray

Well back home again and all 3 apps have finished with times of 3 hours 30-odd minutes as I expected: quite a jump in performance time from the usual 4 hours twenty as my fastest time up to 4 hours 45 minutes as a variation, depending on which flavour of Linux / Window Manager I used.

Thanks for the effort - Gray

Hello there, have done 7

Hello there,

have done 7 WUs up to now with 4.51.
It has roughly doubled the speed of execution.
That's fine!

But I got two invalid WUs, up to now.
Result- ID 24485779m, for instance.
But no hint in stderr out.
Machine is an AMD Sempron 2200+,
Kernel is 2.6.11-6mdk, Mandriva 2005 standard installation.
Boinc is 5.2.14, an optimized version.
Might that be the troublemaker?

8 WUs on another machine, whith the official boinc, went flawless.

Regards, bonnyscott

The AMD 64 shure is SSE capable and I didn't use any graphics.

Any problem with the scheduler?

Yep, I got some invalid

Yep, I got some invalid results from 4.51 too, lately. I made a slightly modified version (4.55) preserving more precision at a certain point - might be slightly slower but give more accurate results. I'll put it up after some internal testing.

Everybody can install this prepared apps without consequences to the conistency of officiell ports. It's only a bad hack and i won't spend time to maintain a bad hack for the ports-tree.
If someone else maintain this for the portstree - ok.

Hi,
I got the signal 11 - error, e.g with this WU http://einsteinathome.org/task/24583106 on a Celeron 1300MHz with Suse 8.0.
After 'preparing' the albert_4.51_i686-pc-linux-gnu.so - file it seems to work.
