Re: [boinc_dev] BOINC 7.2.11 doesn't detect AVX

2013-08-25 Thread Radim Vančo
No one to reply this? This is quite important, I already wrote with some people and they also have undetected AVX on this type of processor which has AVX. So there is some problem in BOINC client, that it doesn't report AVX. Radim Dne 23.8.2013 11:51, Radim Vančo napsal(a): I am now testing

You probably haven't had an answer because there's just been a whole email thread about this. Can be found in the archives of the boinc_dev email list, starting from http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_dev/2013-July/020215.html On Sun, Aug 25, 2013 at 11:49 AM, Radim Vančo

I have read it, but this is another problem. The processor has AVX support and OS also. It is Win 7 with SP1 64bit but it doesn't report AVX. Even with the latest version, but it doesn't report it on these type of processors. i7 reports it ok, but i5-3230M and other 3xxx doesn't report it.

That's because 'the latest version' doesn't support it yet. It'll be in a 7.2 version, AFTER 7.2.11, as soon as the developers port it to the 7.2 branch. If you can't wait, you can build a newer BOINC from Master.

I hope so, because in that mailing part there was problem with not reporting AVX on os that doesn't support it, but it doesn't report it even on os that does support it. Dne 25.8.2013 13:14, Jord van der Elst napsal(a): That's because 'the latest version' doesn't support it yet. It'll be in

BOINC can not report parts of the CPU that it isn't programmed to report. So when for instance in 2014 there will be CPUs available with FMA3 and FMA4, you'll first need a new BOINC capable of detecting those options before that same BOINC will report them. Even having code added to the source

I know but because it was another problem it the mailing than I suppose that they solved this but forgot on these new CPUs. As I said, another problem so that is why I wrote about it. Dne 25.8.2013 13:41, Jord van der Elst napsal(a): BOINC can not report parts of the CPU that it isn't

Rom Walton, from the other thread: I've held off putting this into 7.2 for now. It turns out that detecting the CPU instruction set is only half of the problem. We are in the process of getting an updated toolchain for building on Windows which will allow us to detect if the OS is properly
