| [S@H Enhanced] New Windows Optimized Science Application
A Windows port of Alex Kan's version 8 (nographics) SETI@Home optimised application has been released.
This release offers significantly improved performance for SSE2 capable (or Higher) PC's Running either 32 or 64 Bit versions of Windows.
You can find all the files in the Windows downloads section at Lunatics
Here are individual links for all the initial release builds:
Win32 SSE2 AMD/Intel Compatible Science App:
Intended for Intel & AMD CPUs, running 32 bit windows, that have SSE2, but no SSE3 capability.
1 - Windows 32 bit AK v8.0 SSE2 (AMD/INTEL) , or (dslr mirror)
Win32 SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1 AMD/Intel Compatible Science App:
2 - Windows 32 bit AK v8.0 SSE3 (AMD/INTEL) , or (dslr mirror)
3 - Windows 32 bit AK v8.0 SSSE3x (Intel Only) , or (dslr mirror)
4 - Windows 32 bit AK v8.0 SSE4.1 (Intel Only) , or (dslr mirror)
Win64 SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1 AMD/Intel Compatible Science App:
5 - Windows 64 bit AK v8.0 SSE3 (AMD/INTEL) , or (dslr mirror)
6 - Windows 64 bit AK v8.0 SSSE3x (Intel Only) , or (dslr mirror)
7 - Windows 64 bit AK v8.0 SSE4.1 (Intel Only) , or (dslr mirror)
This is not a required update, and there will be some known issues and warnings to be aware of:
- Ensure you choose a build that your CPU/OS will support. If you are unsure, you can DL CPU-Z 1.44 Utility to check. Ask for help If you need assistance determining this.
- Ensure Boinc & seti@Home applications are already properly functioning on your machine, read carefully the documentation readmes and installation instructions.
Known issues:
- There is no graphics support at this time
- There is no support for CPUs below SSE2 capability
- Borderline OC'ers be aware that you may need to back off to maintain stability, the increased throughput of this application will stress all system components more.
- As Always, OC and use these apps AT YOUR OWN RISK. |
