I have too much computation errors! Why? It seems that there are some problems with source. Another projects works good.

We're looking at this. It seems there may be a problem with floating point stuff on compiled Gentoo systems alas ...

How so?
If so, that needs identifying and fixing!
I've a low power Gentoo system I can attach if useful for a comparison.

OK, it's attached.
Even though it's a 64-bit system, the Einstein 32-bit executable has been downloaded:
Mon Oct 11 14:50:10 2010 Einstein@Home Started download of einstein_S5R6_1.01_graphics_i686-pc-linux-gnu
This is going to be good test of whether I've got any 32-bit libraries installed!

AFAIK, there are no 64-bit applications at Einstein@home.

From my memory, that was the likely issue. The original poster hasn't hung around to tell us further detail ( looks like he's gone elsewhere to crunch ), but I see his system is described as Linux '2.6.35-gentoo-r5--mantiss' on a 64-bit Athlon. Does that fit? Meaning you'd probably get 64-bit whatever by default if you performed your own compile? I've never done Linux that way, only using downloaded or on-disc versions selected to ( closest ) fit my target ... what is the ( alleged ) advantage(s) of rolling your own anyway? Back end compiler choice?
Cheers, Mike.

First ones are through ok, even though the claimed credit was rather low for my system. x3 the claimed credit was actually awarded.
So, the standard 32-bit libs installed are enough or e@h has all its 32-bit stuff included in the downloads.
The completed tasks are:
Task 199891818
Task 199821599
Task 199821513
Task 199775290
All looks fine.
Next is to compare how the total RAC holds up with a mix of jobs as opposed for just running ABC@home.
For that Atom D510, the RAC looks to be holding around 1050 - 1100 (units).

The base system will be 64bits, but you can still have 32bit apps and libs where needed.
For most people, you may as well use the pre-packaged systems.
The Linux kernel usually comes compiled with literally everything compiled in. There's no messing about downloading and loading drivers or other black magic being as all the code currently supported is already in there. A neat trick is then done to remove all the unnecessary stuff after boot and after all the hardware has been configured. Hence you still get a keen lean mean kernel at runtime.
Compiling your own means that you can trim things down to only support your hardware. You get a slightly faster boot up. You can also dive in to do any specialist tweaks you might wish.
However, most people won't notice the difference!
It is a very good way to learn what the kernel does!!
For myself, I use Gentoo on low power or unusual systems where customisation does make a noticeable difference. Gentoo customisation is a very different matter to that of customising only the kernel. With Gentoo, you can very easily customise your entire distribution and that can make a very significant difference. Easily customising the kernel is just a natural extension of the Gentoo customisations.

A few more have gone through fine. Curiously, The Atom D510 is consistently claiming about 1/3rd of the credit actually granted:
"74.97 251.16 Global Correlations S5 search #1 v1.05 (S5GCESSE2)"
Yet another "credits quirk"?

RE: Yet another "credits

Yes: every Einstein task has been granted about three times more than the website shows as 'claimed' - for the last several years.
Since the BOINC client doesn't actually "claim" credit as such - it merely reports time and work metrics - all such figures are calculated on the project web site.
RE: RE: Yet another

OK. Nothing new then?...
For such a wide disparity, doesn't that rate as something being 'broken'?
