Subject: Using BOINC with optimized astropulse, but standard multi-beam apps?

Hi there,

I have a P3/Linux machine, which I (also) use to crunch Seti@Home units 
using BOINC.

Recently, an SSE optimized version of the astropulse application for Linux 
was released. Until then, I just ran the 'default' BOINC, without any 
app_info.xml entry.

In order to use the optimzed ap app, I had to install an app_info.xml. 
However, since this xml-file only contains references to the astropulse 
cruncher, only astropulse WUs are downloaded.

As far as I know, no optimized, SSE/Linux version of the regular multibeam 
app has been released.

So my question is: what do I put in the app_info.xml in order to allow 
this machine to also crunch regular multi-beam WUs?

My current app_info.xml is:

<app_info>
<app>
<name>astropulse</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>astropulse-5.0.i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>astropulse</app_name>
<version_num>500</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>astropulse-5.0.i686-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>

Regards,

Patrick.
