A new Einstein@home ABP1 App for Windows is available for Beta Test at Beta Test Page.

This is a big package to download, as it contains the 3.09 ABP1 application as well as the current 3.05 S5R5.

The new ABP1 App should mainly benefit from using SSE in the FFTw (and some other parts). I'd be curious if there are still machines out there without SSE and how they'd react on this App (the FFTW doku is somewhat ambiguous at that point).

app_info.xml does contain entries for ABP1 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09 and S5R5 3.05, tasks assigned to older apps will error out.

Please test and report.

Why? Old graphics card?

This isn't a GPU / CUDA App. You should get work when your client requests CPU work.

That Beta Test Page shows "einsteinbinary_ABP1_3.09_windows_intelx86.zip" for windows which I assume should not be run on my AMD opteron system and is the cause of the every wu erroring out after one second (all 2 of them before I stopped it).

Vista-64; dual AMD Opteron 270's; 9800gtx+

lemme know if my hunch is correct or not. Error log follows

thanks.

Hm.

Faulting application einsteinbinary_ABP1_3.07_windows_intelx86_cuda.exe looks like the problem occurred switching from the CUDA App to the 1.09 (CPU-only) App.

I'm about to leave on a weeks vacation so won't be able to follow up past tomorrow morning, but my A64x2 4200PC is crashing all ABP WUs immediately with 3.09. IF it matters it's old enough to still be running 5.8.11 (no reason other than my not having gotten around to ugprading since it's an essentially unattended system)

The two client errors reported with exit status -1 are S5R5 ones, not ABP1. The ABP1 reported 'input file missing or invalid', which is a report from the client, not the App. Yes, the BOINC Client is too od to report the faulty file's name. Looks like something wrong with the downloaded archive?
