[font='fixedsys,courier']I can't find any other project besides SETI that offers a link to its source code so that I can compile it for Linux PPC. I've checked Einstein, Climate Prediction, BURP, Pirates, Orbit, Protein Predictor, and SETIΒ. Nothing. Ideas?[/font] |

[font='fixedsys,courier']I can't find any other project besides SETI that offers a link to its source code so that I can compile it for Linux PPC. right now, they are the only project I am aware of that is open source. I don't know if any of the ones in the woodwork that are going to be open source. My suspicion is that most projects will be closed source. Mostly so they have some assurance that someone has not "improved" the code in a way that messes up the science. There was that interesting test done of optimizations changing the output/value of a number that is illustrative of the problem. LHC@Home has restricted the platforms as they found only one compiler that gives them compatible results. even then, they on occasion have problems with the outputs of AMD vs. Intel. Predictor@Home also has similar issues which is why they also use homogenous redundency. |

The E@H source code is out there... somewhere. If you grep through the boinc_dev list, you should be able to find it. Somewhere. Rob |
