After the success of adding a special hr_class for some of the AMD processors, the scheduler has
been extended to do the same for the Intel CPU's. Now the validation is no longer a problem on
Windows and Linux machines and now less than half a percent of the workunits is marked incorrectly
to invalid because of numerical discrepancies between the different FPU's. Furthermore,
three extra applications have been added. Although one of them gave some troubles in the last
few days (perhaps some noticed the workunits error messages), they now work all fine. The new
applications simulate the scattering and reaction of a hydrogen molecule on a static Pd(110),
Cu(111) or Pt(111) surface. These systems are important in the basic understanding of catalysis
(see http://rulgla.leidenuniv.nl for more info on that). Even better news is that steps have been
taken to get some funding so the project can be run from a decent server. Oh and last but not
least, the f2c program library, which can be downloaded from this site, now also allows for F77
codes to be translated, and linked against a BOINC (graphics too) enabled version of the f2c
library. Old F77 codes can now be very easily translated into C/C++ and automatically made BOINC
aware, with a minimum of work. Just need to add the graphical callbacks if you want the graphics, or
use the text only version without hardly any extra work!
