Considering the considerable difference in performance between AQUA's 32- and 64-bit apps, some of our volunteers are placing <no_alt_platform>1</no_alt_platform> in their cc_config.xml files to prevent a 32-bit AQUA app to run on their 64-bit computer, but this affects other projects with no 64-bit app.
Is there an option on the server to enforce the sending of 64-bit apps to 64-bit computers? -Kamran -----Original Message----- From: Kamran Karimi Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 1:27 PM To: 'David Anderson'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [boinc_dev] 64-bit Macs get 32-bit apps OK, so this behaviour is intended. Thanks for the explanation. -Kamran -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Anderson Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] 64-bit Macs get 32-bit apps The new server software doesn't assume that the 64-bit version will run faster than the 32-bit version. It keeps statistics on both versions, and once the sample size is large enough it uses the one that performs the best. This mechanism may need some tweaking, e.g. to deal with the situation where a particular batch of jobs caused the averages to be off. -- David On 30-Jul-2010 11:42 AM, Bernd Machenschalk wrote: > Kamran Karimi wrote, On 30.07.2010 19:47 Uhr: >> Hi all, >> >> >> >> Some of our Mac users are noticing that their 64-bit machines are >> receiving 32-bit app versions.
