Subject: Compiled client for Itanium HPUX today

Hi,

I'm really new to all this - just started running SETI last week on some 
UNIX boxes.  I noticed the Itanium machine was really quick and wondered 
how it would do at BOINC.

I compiled up the source code for the BOINC client but did not bother 
going on to do the SETI@Home port as the CPU benchmarks were worse than 
for my AMD 1600Mhz machine at home - by a huge factor.

It got 355 double precision MIPS and 623 integer MIPS.

Have I done something wrong in the port?  Does anyone have experience of 
porting the code?  Or is there another forum to try?  Actually - I see 
there is.  I'll have a go there.  I'll leave this posting for info 
though.

Cheers
Peter
