When will you start to send out Vista 64 bit workunits?

i doubt they ever will, unless they need to access more memory...

That´s too bad!

They should think it over!

I´m doing the same amount of work with half the cpu power! (50% / core)

:-D

eh?

Get the 64bit client or 32bit client of BOINC and run it. It will max out all your cores either way.

P.S. They have thought it over, search the forum ;)

Bubben,

64-bit isn't necessarily quicker than 32-bit - in some cases it's slower, and wouldn't be of much benefit to the project at the moment. That's why 64-bit OS's aren't the mainstream yet. The use of SSE extensions would probably be much more beneficial, but this isn't a trivial process and would require reviewing much of the code.

Does they (I mean scientists) need to perform faster calculations in R@h? If they does, then it's already time to include at least SSE optimization in Rosetta applications, IMHO. 'Cause AFAIK in present Rosetta's cores doesn't support it yet. It means my CPU can perform more calculations per WU processing time, but an application doesn't allows it? :-(

SSE isn't trivial to implement SSE unfortunately. There were two guys (Who! from Intel and Mats Petersson from AMD) looking into it a while ago but I'm not sure if there's currently any movement on that. If there are any coders with the time and experience to optimise ~1m lines of protein-modelling code then the project team would probably accept the help, but there are other considerations too...
