BOINC Client

[Bender10]

I just had a BOINC Glitch.

I ran down the wu's on my XP x64 box, and downloaded the 5.10.20 software. Performed the install and poof...new BOINC. The only problem was, I kept getting a 'no work from project...' for Tanpaku??? what??

After scratching my head and banging same on the wall a few times, I found the problem. You must have guessed by now...It was a small line in the BOINC message, 'no x86_64 work...'.

Performed NEW install of straight x86 BOINC, and all was fixed.

I guess we need more x64 projects.

It was a small line in the BOINC message, 'no x86_64 work...'.

I do believe Tanpaku already sends out 64bit WU's (or at least 32bit to 64bit clients)

Except the official BOINC 64 bit identifies itself as x86_64 whilst the servers send it out to the clients identifying themselves as x86_AMD64 IIRC.
I saw it mentioned on the BOINC Stats forum.

Yes, we do need more x64 clients and WUs. Why ? because sooner or later all software will be x64. IMHO
