(moderation:
Hi!
I put a new Linux App for testing on the Beta Test Page. It incorporates ideas from E@H usser "AkosF" and some others (including me) making it much much faster than the current official App. How fast exactly is left to you to find out.
We had some problems (i.e. segfaults) on certain machines which I expect to be caused by the graphics driver there when using SSE. If your App encounters this (segfault, catches signal 11 soon after start), please report here and follow the instructions at the bottom of the Linux setion of the page, either disabling SSE or graphics.

Sooner or later these changes will make it into Apps for FreeBSD and Solaris, too, but we don't have so many machines of this type here yet, so it's not the highest priority. I'll probably even have to build new gccs on that platforms to make the vector code work. May take a while.

Thx for the info - this is quite useful.

This looks like the problem

This looks like the problem we had with graphics&SSE. Try disabling either of these as described on the Beta Test page.

RE: I can understand, that

I'll see what I can do for you. However from what I got from the database, there are more people running the Linux App on FreeBSD than running the "native" BSD App I made - wouldn't this be an option?

RE: but the task setion

As said in the instructions: "New work should get assigned to the new App albert_4.51". Work that has already been downloaded and assigned to the 4.40 won't be changed.

Yep, I got some invalid

Yep, I got some invalid results from 4.51 too, lately. I made a slightly modified version (4.55) preserving more precision at a certain point - might be slightly slower but give more accurate results. I'll put it up after some internal testing.

RE: RE: invalid http://ei

Would help, but isn't necessary, as this isn't a client error.
Try the new 4.55 App.
