I see, I'll send him a message & maybe he can tell me how to get the mac box to get wu's from the prop project ...

didn't know I needed a specific OS to get Wuprop Wu's

You need Intel CPU or emulation of it on Apple M CPU, OS just needs to be 10.5 or newer, you have that.


I can't find a Mac Laptop with at least a 10.5 OS, most of the older ones have older OS than that or just don't specify what exact OS they have ...

BRP4A is for ARM Macs only, i.e. those with Apple's M CPUs, not for older Intel Macs, they run BRP4 as you can see on Einstein's applications page. AFAIK there should be a way to run applications, which were compiled for Intel Macs on the M-Macs, but that you will have to google yourself. There are Apple M1 and M2 running WUProp, no idea if Apple removed x64 emulation completely on the new M3 Macs or what needs to be done to enable it.

Yes, it's time for WUProp to release native application for Mac OS on ARM.


Well guess I messed up again, I picked up a M1 Max Pro about a month ago & just got around to installing BOINC on it but the WuProp Project still won't send it any Wu's so I don't know what to do now. Guess I'll keep it & maybe someday Prop Project will send it work Unit's, until then it'll just take up space in the garage ... lol

The NVIDIA 4070 takes a 10 Pin Connector, they sent a 2 8 pin into 1 10 pin adapter with the card.

I checked my spare parts & do have some other adapters so I'll muck something together. The Linux box I have doesn't have squat for connectors so I'll probably have to just run a separate power supply outside the box on that one. I see I have a 1000 watt power supply as a spare so I'll use that on the Linux Box.

I ordered a couple ASUS Dual Fan NVIDIA 4070's, they looked like a good price point for the performance they give, the 4080's are almost double the price. I'm not even sure if they will work with the motherboards I have but if they don't I'll gut them & build 2 new Box's so I can use the cards ...

I have every box checked at GPU Grid & all I get is the ACEMD 3 Wu's ... Maybe I don't have a fast enough GPU for the Quantum Wu ? I have a bid in at eBay for a 4080 NVIDIA Super Card if that isn't enough card then ppffftttt for the Quantum's ... The extra commands at sidock I don't know ...

Amazon is allowing me to return the Mac, I'm just waiting for the shipping label from the company it was purchased from. I buy enough stuff from Amazon so they don't ever give me any lip about returning stuff, not that I return that much anyway ...

Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT,A) (BRP4A)
That is the only app on Mac/ARM and not available on anything else.

Your BOINC apps with less than 10k WUProp hours
https://stats6.free-dc.org/newapps/736/10000

Looks like a Linux GPU app at GPUGrid and a RPi App at SiDOck are also missing.


Thanks, the Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT,A) (BRP4A) App was the reason I bought the Mac to begin with, didn't know I needed a specific OS to get Wuprop Wu's. The RPi App at SiDOck app you need some special OS for that which I don't have & the GPU Grid Linux GPU app I'm running GPU Grid on 1 Linux Box but guess I've never gotten whatever the app is I'm missing ...

I can't find a Mac Laptop with at least a 10.5 OS, most of the older ones have older OS than that or just don't specify what exact OS they have ...

Well, it can still do real scientific work for other projects, even if not many projects have applications for Mac OS on ARM. If you bought it just for crunching, a Windows or Linux PC for 25% of that price might indeed have been a better choice.


Well if it's not getting WuProp hours it's of no use to me, it's the only reason I run BOINC anymore, if not for Wuprop I would just drop out of BOINC as I have nothing left I want to achieve anymore ...

Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo,GBT,A) from project Einstein@Home is active

Anybody know the trick to getting any of these, I haven't seen any yet & it's not a selection in the preferences at this time anyway ...
