"FAHCores don't get recompiled with versions that work with older hardware/software."
Thanks Bruce- but don't you mean those that DON'T get compiled with old cores won't work?
Depending on processing requirements,of course.
64bits is a clincher, naturally!
I'm happily folding on Boinc work inc.GPU -but they don't do much medical support work.
Still, Asteroids are also extremely bad for our health

If science needs a new FAHCore, FAH generally will recompile the new FAHCore against old libraries so they can provide continued support for old OSs and old hardware.bruce wrote:If you have an "old" OS and/or "old" hardware, that's still working, it will probably continue to work as long as those who design new FAH Projects don't need scientific capabilities that are only found in new FAHCores -- and those new FAHCores don't get recompiled with versions that work with older hardware/software.
Some time back FAH elected to compile Linux cores for 64-bit only and support for 32-bit Linux was officially terminated.
Many projects have a "do not assign to 32-bit" setting in the server, but some projects may still assign to 32-bit Windows. WindowsXP 32-bit is doubly old and probably also permanently broken but I haven't seen an official statement. FAH generally doesn't state that "we're about to finish the last project that can be assigned to {OS/bitness/hardware}" so the ability to run a particular old combination may vanish at any time.
