Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] [boinc_projects] Boinc Client Platform String
for ARM devices
2013/7/5 David Anderson <[email protected]>:
The philosophy is that platforms are as broad as possible,
and plan classes are used for advanced features.
I.e. Win/Intelx86 is a platform, and if you have an app
that uses SSE3 you use plan classes.
So in this case: if there's ANY application that can run
on all ARM/Linux computers (e.g. an integer-only app)
then the platform should be arm-linux-gnu.
Ah, but is there such thing as an "integer-only BOINC app"? Even the
way you pass the floating-point argument to boinc_fraction_done()
differs between soft float and hard float ABIs.
I've seen a few BOINC applications that look worth checking to see
if they are fully integer-only. Some from PrimeGrid, one from Collatz
Conjecture, and the one from SubsetSum@Home. They at least use
mostly integers.
