I have a suspicion that the WEP-M+2 uses a variation of the following for the application: | |

I'm running some standalone tests now to make sure they come up with the same results as the Linux version. | |

So far so good. The output matches when no factors are found. Is there a previously run WU that found a factor that I can run in standalone mode so I can check that as well? | |

Thanks again for your (continued) investigations. (and please find attached hopefully what you're requesting - (today's) latest crop of factor instances). Though please note I still have no immediate plans for a Windows app. [I'm on something of a crusade to promote Linux/OS X still too! :))) ] However all investigations welcome! | |

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm investigating whether MPIR which branched off from GMP is any faster than GMP. I haven't built it on Linux or OS/X before and since compiler options tend to cause GMP to give improper results at times, I'm guessing the same is true for MPIR. That means the more data with which to test, the better. | |

GMP is faster than MPIR. The only place it would make sense to use MPIR is for a 64-bit Windows build since that is the only platform on which MPIR is faster than GMP for the WEP algorithm, but since Windows apps are not planned at this time, it makes sense to stick with GMP. I couldn't check MPIR on the MAC OS X 64-bit version because I don't have a 64-bit MAC on which to run it, but I assume it would be similar to Linux where GMP is king. | |

I attached to the WEP-M+2 project last night. Only after reading the Boinc messages did I see that the project did not support 64-bit Windows. | |

still no windows app? Why? | |

Just wondering if any progress has been made on creating a Windows App ? | |

well there is the vboxheadless to run linux on a windows system | |

well there is the vboxheadless to run linux on a windows system I think his quest is more to force people to become somewhat familiar with Linux itself rather than making the work on the app easier. Some people feel that everyone should switch to Linux even though other operating systems suit them just fine. So, this project pretty much forces you to support other OS's if you want to support the project. Quite frankly, I don't see it attracting that many people to Linux but rather turning more people away from this project. After all, it isn't like it is finding cures or solving any humanitarian problems. It is just another math project. I only attach it when I'm running a Linux VM for some other purpose and that is IF I remember to attach to the project at all... ____________ ![]() | |

I honestly don't know how serious to take this project if it is unwilling to accept support over something so silly. ____________ ![]() | |

After 194 days, I need to ask the same question. Is there still no Windows version??? Especially since Slicker seems to have worked on it back in Jan/2010? I cannot believe that a BOINC project wants to be Linux-only for over 5 years, given the number of Windows hosts out there... | |

5 days later: Bearnol, a more up-to-date response would be much appreciated. | |

That's a big bummer... :-( Except that it also supports OSX... http://bearnol.is-a-geek.com/wanless2/apps.php Will you go to all the Win-only projects and ask them to make a similar declaration? | |
