BOINC 6.6.4 for Win32. Find more at dl directory. I have installed it on one non-cuda host. One annoying thing I have found is it refuses to check Orbit for work (even though they haven't got any). So if you get a project that isn't giving out work regularly it doesn't look like its going to connect to see if there is any. Maybe it will given a bit more time. Apart from this annoyance it appears to be working fine so far, although I can't comment on cuda interaction. I'm running the WinXP (32 bit) version. There are OS-X, Windows x86 and Windows x64 versions available. ____________ BOINC blog | |

As far as work fetch, there has been changes to the internal rules on projects that rarely have work, Orbit, LHC, SIMAP, etc. and it is not at all clear if these changes are the right ones or not. | |

I posted a copy of my message above on BOINC_alpha, so we'll see. So far it hasn't tried requesting work from orbit, but has been trying Seti (they don't have any either at the moment). It appears to be working okay for those that do have work, or at least normally have work. Still haven't tried it on a cuda machine yet. ____________ BOINC blog | |

I installed in on a cuda-capable host and it doesn't get any work. Supposedly requests work but always gets 0 wu. I regressed back to 650 and it picked up work when it requested it, so there is some issue there with the scheduler requests. ____________ BOINC blog | |

Please test it and report here if any. Thanks for posting, but please be careful with your formulation. These new versions tend to be full of errors and when you say "please test it" it sounds official. But I'm sure the project doesn't want all the people to test these new development versions and to possibly get frustrated over new errors. Sure, someone has to test.. but for the people who know what they're getting into the information + link is enough ;) I'm saying this because I'm amazed at how many people are running 6.6.3 and are reporting problems, despite the fact that it quickly became obvious that 6.6.3 is broken.

I am trying to remember where I saw it, but I am sure I saw a report that 6.6.4 does not fetch from GPU Grid ... SaH forum? Not sure ... they back leveled and immediately got work ... FYI ... | |

I just trying to do all that depends on me for science developing, so please forgive me if I do something wrong... :-) | |

I just trying to do all that depends on me for science developing, so please forgive me if I do something wrong... :-) It is not wrong, it is just that the use of the Beta versions is fraught with risk and not all participants are aware of these risks. We are a seemingly inconsistent in that we do recommend the use of 6.5.0 which *IS* a beta version but that is only after we have tried the alternatives and have found that it is the "best" compromise between operational capability and the buggy-ness of the release ... Which is also why we usually follow a statement that 6.5.0 works for me, and that 6.4.5 also seems to work for most folks (both seem to have minor issues however). | |

That was me. I went back to 6.5.0 after it kept saying it couldn't get any work from the 3 projects I was running (Einstein, GPUgrid and Seti). It was supposedly trying to get work but kept saying "received 0 results". Once I went back to 6.5.0 it managed to get work straight away for all 3 projects. Also the other machine I had it on (non-cuda) refused to check Orbit for work. I know they don't have any but it has to try at least once to find out. ____________ BOINC blog | |

Updates included in 6.6.4. Do not download and use this BOINC client version unless you are technically proficient and are willing to return to an earlier version if it doesn't work. | |
