Very nice. But what about a Win64 Version of Einstein@home?
There could be a performancce boost to, if the app a little similarly to the prime/gimp app. At time I don't own such a 64Bit capable machine, but there are a lot of people who have these machines. Perhaps this could be a decision making aid for people to switch to WinXP x64.

Thanks for the report.
Apparently the search finished successfully, but the uploaded result file wasn't compressed (as it should be) and the file looks truncated. The file, however, is much longer than it should be (for a short WU).

The other results this machine has returned, even from the same charge of WUs (h1_0324.5_S5R1) look ok and are valid so far. Any idea what has gone wrong? Did you temporary ran short on disk space?

Would really be courious to know how the 4.24 compares to the 4.17 on the same machine. If I read you results right, there's still a big difference. Is this consistent with wall-clock time or is there a problem with reporting the CPU-time?

Hello

Well I was planning on crunching through the night, but we had a power outage.
Here are benchmarks from each side of this box:

**Windows XP Service Pack 2 with BOINC 5.5.10 - binary files

1329 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
2672 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

**Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r4 with BOINC 5.5.6 - BOINC & deps compiled into system - not binary

875 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
2530 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

Just for the record, using the standard Windows Einstein the WU takes 48,910.25 and has validated, while the 4.17 in Linux takes 28,112.33. I'm going to boot back into WIndows now and complete that WU with the optimised Einstein and will update, but by the looks of things, times are likely to be on par with what I stated earlier.

A significant improvement. (-40%)

P.S. with HT off (just checked one WU) and it is much faster with HT on!

Gravity increases significantly in Autumn, because apples fall in large numbers during that time!

Computer Pentium4 3,2 GHz Windows XP
Same WU series:
Version 4.02 more then 46.000s
Version 4.24 38.500s
2 Results (HT) both valid and granted

It looks to be a good beginning of speeding up the apps ;)

Just a small comment - my guesstimation is from time so far and percentage done - not the BOINC guesstimation, which is way out thus far as I only recently restarted BOINC / Einstein in Windows

Gray

PS: in Windows thus far: 3hours 40 minutes and 43.4 per cent done

Just installed 4.24, but when I look in the boinc manager, the version that's listed as running is 4.02. Is this normal?

No. Did you finish your WU's in cache first? Did you exit BOINC and restart it? Is "Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform" in your messages?

Yes, I did finish the only unit I had, it was uploaded allright, and then I reported it. I shut down BOINC, extracted the files. The executable, the pdb file and the app_info are all in the einstein folder.

No such message about anonymous platform.
