Hi,
I would like to know if there is Source Code available for Seti@Home.
I'm currently using the command line version for windows. Unfortunatly
it's compiled for Intel 386 processors, without 387 mathematical co pro
as I guess.
I would like to compile my own version for Athlon XP processors (I'm
using an AthlonXP 1800+ processor). Does anybody know if this is possible?
They [S@H] tried to compile it with Athlon optimizations, and noticed no
speedup over the i386 client.
The current client does indeed use the FPU, there aren't that many
architechtures without FPU if you stick to 'computers'... Now if you'd want
to run Seti@home on your standalone DVD player, you'd probably be looking
at an ARM processor without FPU, have to use software floating point, which
would be horribly slow :-)
Hm... Anyone know if the Playstation2 has an FPU? :-)
