I like to use seti@home for testing processor-power for different computer-platforms
and operating systems.
Some of the boxes I tested on:
- Sun Solaris on Sparc
- IBM AIX on RS/6000
- HP Desktops on Windows98 and NT (rather slow ;-)
- Powermac G3/300 with Mac OS 9.1 (old but works nicely)
- Powermac G4 Dual 500MHz PPC with Mac OS X 10.0.4 (real fast!)
There is life outside of our solar system but we will not
discover them, THEY will discover US!
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
