Hey, I wanna add my pda's vast computational cpu to my team, however it does not like bionc one bit.

Sadly disappointed :(

Anyone got any ideas, or will I have to dig out another machine running the classic seti software, so I can transfer work to it??

Plz help.

Doh!

I posted on the wrong thread... still after an answer from you good folk....

[font='courier,courier new']IIRC some projects need as much as 128MB RAM to run. I don't think that Palms (Pocket PCs, Windows CEs, smart-phones, Blackberries, Newtons, et al.) don't have that kind of free space at the ready.

Assuming that Palm isn't as big a bastard as Microsoft is, you could try to get ahold of Palm's developer tools, and compile one of the nightly tarballs. Just for the heck of it. Sure, it probably won't work, but I don't think anyone's actually gone out and done it.

Luck to you.[/font]

I would expect SETI to kill the battery on that pretty quickly, unless you only had it run while you had the Palm in its charging cradle. IIRC Palms all use variable-speed CPUs that save power when not in active use. Adding SETI would force it to run "hot" all the time, and drain the battery pretty quickly.

[font='courier,courier new']Even if just one WU got crunched in the cradle, it'd be cool.

SETI-in-Palm/-in-Pocket is not a good long term idea, but one WU would be enough.[/font]
