Give me a couple days to get the PowerPC builds up and running. As you may already know, there are things that I did for v7.2 for x86 that weren't in v7.1 for PPC, so these alone should provide some performance gains. It remains to be seen whether the cache tuning I did for v8 will help PPC, so that means I'll need PPC testers once the code is almost ready. For that matter, I need testers with Core Duos, since I haven't assessed the performance impact on that architecture, either.

I realize my performance tuning has been targeted more towards the leaderboards lately, but hopefully what I've learned there will soon bear fruit for everyone else as well!
Hi alex,

any news on the PPC-version 8? It is now 5 months since the above announcement. Any chance we will ever see an optimized multi-beam PPC-app?

In absence of a reply from Alex (he's very busy with other stuff lately), I can say this much: v8 for PPC is coming, it's looking good, but it's not yet MB-ready. I obviously can't speculate about a release date, but rest assured, PPC is not forgotten!

HTH,

Ron

Thanks for the mini-update...I'll take those PPC optimized apps for as long as I can!

2007-10-08 23:05:24.324 open[322] LSOpenFromURLSpec() returned -10814 for application (null) urls file://localhost/Users/george/Desktop/boinc_5.10.20_macOSX_universal/BOINC%20Installer.app/Contents/Resources/BOINC.pkg/.

Here is the error message from the install log in console that I get when trying to install Boinc_5.10.20 boinc manager.

Any ideas?
