for depspid -

The scheduler of DepSpid has been modified and now uses the alt_platform tag if it can't handle the default platform tag. This way the windows_x86_64 platform will get normal 32bit work.
The exact naming of the 64bit platform won't be a problem until a 64bit application is build for DepSpid.

Givin that Malaria Control has just updated to the latest BOINC server version, they to should now support the "alt platform". (32bit apps sent to 64bit clients)

I read recently that leiden classical has a native 64bit app for linux now.

I am now getting 32bit apps on my 64bit windows client from the lattice project.

As BOINC is moving to support alternate platforms, I thought that it'd be a good idea to track which projects already support it separately.

A stupid question. I run XP (32) on my Core 2. Do I need a 64 bit OS to use the 64 bit clients and apps since the OS does needs to know memory management?

Yes, you need 64-bit OS and 64-bit version of BOINC core.

Good thing is - BOINC is now compiled in 64-bit version for Windows.
Bad thing is - there is no BOINC project application compiled for 64-bit Windows (32-bit apps are sent to 64-bit BOINC core from numerous projects).

not true, there is a 64bit windows app for ABC and ABC beta.

Actually, ABC ß only. ABC still sends the 32-bit application to x64 Windows clients.

true, but you can use the 64bit app in the main project for ABC with an app_info.xml file, so you are correct in that ABC wont sent the app...

Yeah, it helped, even I get:

26/06/2007 16:44:53|ABC@home beta|Reason: 17 consecutive failures fetching scheduler list
26/06/2007 16:45:03|ABC@home|Message from server: platform 'windows_x86_64' not found

ABC beta is down for a prolonged period, ABC doesn't know about 64-bit world.
I downgraded to 32-bit in order to get some work from ABC but can't overwrite ABC with it's 64-bit app I found on beta - it has different size and different file sig so BOINC doesn't want to run it...which is good for security.

So, anybody actualy running 64-bit BOINC apps on 'doze?

I believe that you need to run Crunch3r's x64 Windows client below, which uses the platform string "windows_amd64".

Augustine,

yes, that might be the problem.
ABC is quite outdated then...I think it should follow supporting official x64 releases from UCB - windows_x86_64

I will stick with 5.10.x versions or new BOINC Studio modified core based on 5.10.x for now.

The conclusion could be: there is no 64-bit apps for official BOINC core...yet (:-
