My colleague has cleaned database and I think that is the end of http errors etc etc. I have submitted new work and I am always getting results anyway. There is still a whole bag of worms around sse2 sse3 ssse3 pni and whatever, not helped by Intel's ifort refusal to run optimised code on non-Intel hardware. Igor has much improved version distribution and some people are getting "PNI" versions. The important thing is that SSE2 upwards is much faster than the generic version. Don't want to waste resources. All versions are completely numerically portable (I hope so) but when panic is over I shall be looking at all rejected results as I believe they are due to hardware failures (over-clocked?). If all goes well I shall try and issue an update to whatever happened to lhc@home this weekend. In the meantime someone has changed the WWW pages, or whatever and I don't even know if you can read this. All my bookmarks failed and usual start page NOT available. Eric (from his new super MAC notebook pro, bought at great personal expense, but have never had the time to set up. I am going to try and install BOINC now.)
