SSE2 Requirement for Windows Clients
Since our recent release last week, POEM++ requires a SSE2 capable PC.Sorry for not mentioning that before.
More...
-
Sounds alarming, but actually SSE2 (aka Streaming SIMD Extensions 2), was included from:
- AMD K8-based CPUs (Athlon 64, Sempron 64, Turion 64, etc.)
- AMD Phenom CPUs
- Intel NetBurst-based CPUs (Pentium 4, Xeon, Celeron, Celeron D, etc.)
- Intel Pentium M and Celeron M
- Intel Core family (including Intel Core 2, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7)
- Intel Atom
- Transmeta Efficeon
- VIA C7
- VIA Nano
In practice 99% of the PCs that are running BOINC/Distributed computing projects.
What CPU's are meant?
- AMD CPUs prior to Athlon 64, including all Socket A-based CPUs
- Intel CPUs prior to Pentium 4
- VIA C3
- Transmeta Crusoe

I guess if someone has a CPU older than those in the list above by Dirk, the best advice is really to "Get a new computer!" (My default answer for 2013 )

hear, hear,
To all ye who art still workinge with 8086, 8088, 80286, 80386 or 80486 CPUs,
them Intel Pentiums with a number below 4 or AMD chips before ye trusted Athlon 64,
and ye who is still workinge with ye olde Motorola, IBM Power4 or lower, I would say
"Get a new computer!"
Goeth towarth ye olde compute shoppe and buyeth yerself something better and/or more efficient.
hear, hear, ...

That's "International Talk Like a Pirate" day ... the day we say Arrrrr! all over the world. Since 1995,

etc.

and "If you use Google, switch the language settings to "Pirate" for fun."
IIRC Facebook also has a Pirate language setting. (I don't partake in Fb)

Ye all needth a good CPU /a darn farm of them/ for coming challenge, as them GPU WUs are awfully short at the moment
-
yeah I noticed that too. a lot of waiting for GPU WUs.
I read that the new server arrived and everyone was hoping for relief from the WuGen shortage, but there was a problem with the RAID hardware or some such so it is still offline
Not good timing for the contest.
so I switched back to another project for now.
will do some poem later when server is fixed.
"Ye all needth" - lol
