Running BOINC x64 on Vista x64. The process viewer shows: sixtrack_4.67_windows_x86_64.exe *32 ...in other words it's a 32bit app. Did someone just rename the file or copy the wrong binary over? |

Running BOINC x64 on Vista x64. The process viewer shows: It is just renamed so that 64bit systems can get work. I don't think the server here was ever upgraded to send it automatically. BOINC WIKI   BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

Hmmm, that was the one my system downloaded automatically. It would be nice to compile a proper 64bit version. It may not make a huge difference on most projects, but even a 1% performance gain adds 3.65 extra days onto a year. |

Hmmm, that was the one my system downloaded automatically. Sorry I meant the project has to manually rename the app and create the 64bit platform. With the later server versions the server automatically sends the 32bit app without intravention from the project if there is not a 64bit app. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |
