Then I still think we have a problem with the sample plan classes, e.g. in http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/boinc-v2/sched/plan_class_spec.xml.sample, where the SSE3 plan class does refer to the <cpu_feature> as sse3
Form what I remember the last time I looked at this, the CPU feature string is searched for within the text returned by /proc/cpuinfo. >________________________________ > From: Michael Tughan <[email protected]> >To: Eric J Korpela <[email protected]> >Cc: Robert Kreß <[email protected]>; BOINC Dev Mailing List ><[email protected]> >Sent: Thursday, 8 August 2013, 18:43 >Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] SSE3 detection (Radim Van?o) > > >At least on the Linux 3.8 VM I have immediate access to, it is still referred >by PNI, not SSE3.
