Read the announcement here: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1783&p=14926#p14926

Make sure you read the instructions carefully.

*other notes*
5.92 does not currently support 64-bit Windows. This is something we will work on in the future.

theheyes · 25 Mar 2008 at 18:00

Fiddlesticks. I've literally just installed 5.91. This new one can wait!

Thanks for the heads up though.

Mattus · 25 Mar 2008 at 19:45

Might try it on my laptop later. More and more high-performance boxes run a 64-bit OS these days though, so they're probably missing out on some science until they get the x64 version going!

booyaka · 25 Mar 2008 at 20:17

interesting - might give it a go

It's more a case that the new MPI library is arch specific, which causes a few problems since it means 2 versions of the core need to be made. 1 for the 32bit MPI and 1 for the 64bit MPI.

Ok fail first time. no surpise
repaired DeinoMPI (via install.bat) and required a restart
2 error's on credential store setup

moved ziped file contents to local drive. (test directory was a network location)
all as per how to, only one defective Windows Firewall dialogue box came up (alt+u)
started up client - defective dialogue box come up again (alt+u)

running without the looping batch file currently - I have noticed that the four cores in task manager are more even (~22-28%) instead of having two at ~30% and two at ~20%

Coretemp showing simular temps

more after lunch when I've a few checkpoints under the belt

booyaka · 26 Mar 2008 at 13:21

interesting to see if any major change in work speeds etc. good stuff Shadow - keep us posted

shadowscotland · 26 Mar 2008 at 14:41

no such good news on the speed - adding about 5% to the time per step of the very poor 3065wu.
It's a [email protected] btw
also removed my 10min checkpoints

just under 37mins over lunch with nothing else running
normally ~36mins over night

But not looking good on this wu as the 5.91beta6 never crashed on me once
hopefull get a better on in TWO days time

I'm running 5.91 as I'm running Vista 64, just curious as to what's up with the clock, it's saying 18:37:05 and it's currently 19:45 lol and I've only just started the client.

Mattus · 5 Apr 2008 at 21:14

The clock always runs on GMT, so at the moment it's an hour behind

oceaness · 5 Apr 2008 at 22:04

Well that was my immeadiate thought but it appeared to be some minutes out as well as the hour, and it wasnt just that it hadn't checkpointed in a while because i'd only just started the client.

shadowscotland · 7 Apr 2008 at 19:45

Look like 'ye old' past deadline non-termination bug on my pc is still in effect with the new client (thankfully) had a pesky standard wu running in the background over the weekend taking 50% (being off on friadays it a ppd killer) and I didn't notice untill lunchtime

Hey ho - I'll be leaving work in 9h so that someting to look forward too
