Hi!

We made some Apps and Clients for sgi IRIX 6.5 (thanks to Gaurav Khanna) and Linux running on HP/DEC Alpha. Find them on the new Power User Apps page.

Happy crunching!

What compiler flags were used to build this app ?


Rather standard -O3. gcc on this machine is 3.3.5.

RE: OK.So this one is not

Quote:
OK.So this one is not specifically for ev6 like the boinc version you offer ?


I'm not aware of any limitations of the BOINC client I compiled. The ev6 got put into the platform name by BOINC's configure, it probably will run on other CPU versions, too.

Any chance of an app. build with compaqs c compiler ?


I don't know if there is one available for Linux. I plan to set up another Alpha machine with OSF/True64, but don't ask me for a timescale.

RE: It tells me "Message

It tells me "Message from server: platform 'mips-sgi-irix6.5' not found"....


Yes. IRIX is not an "official" platform (official platforms are listed [url="http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/apps.php"]here[/url]).

But, at the end of my shell, I can read "Successfully attached to Einstein@Home"....


The client is running and attached to Einstein@Home, though Einstein@Home has no "work" for this platform.

Stop the client and unpack the other IRIX archive einstein_S5R1_4.20_mips-sgi-IRIX6.5.tar.gz in the BOINC directory. When you start the Client again, it should report that it now runs as "anonymous platform", it should get some work from Einstein@Home and start to process it.
