That's good news. I'm planning on making all the next Collatz CPU applications OpenCL based, so AMD, NVIDIA and Intel covers Windows and Linux. I'm guessing that in order to make OS X work the same way that the BOINC client reports the device vendor instead of the platform name and platform vendo

Jon: The current BOINC client checks for all OpenCL/CPU drivers (currently Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA; any combination of these may exist on a given machine). It reports these to the server in an array called host.host_info.opencl_cpu_prop[]; the number of entries is host.host_info.num_opencl_cpu_pl

My only hesitation with backports is the warning on the home page which states: "Backports cannot be tested as extensively as Debian stable, and backports are provided on an as-is basis, with risk of incompatibilities with other components in Debian stable. Use with care!" So, I went ahead and ins

Debian 7.3 (stable) uses glibc v2.13, Debian Jessie (testing) uses v2.17, and Debian Sid (unstable) uses v2.18 so it looks like they've changed their minds. However, at present, the only way to run the current BOINC client on the current Debian version is to use either the "testing" or "unstable"

"First of all, the glibc is no more" Interesting, as glibc stable is at 2.17 in Gentoo, with 2.18-r1 awaiting stable status. On 01/25/2014 07:10 PM, Jon Sonntag wrote: 9down vote BOINC 7.2.33 requires GLIBC v2.15. That's a problem as only v2.13 exists even with the latest Debian install. H

9down vote BOINC 7.2.33 requires GLIBC v2.15. That's a problem as only v2.13 exists even with the latest Debian install. Here's what I've found as the "solution" which means to me that BOINC should be downgraded to v2.13 IMO as I do not believe BOINC should be using any "experimental" version an
