has anyone ever ported this to hp-ux i have a pa-risc server that doesnt do much that could crunch some numbers for this project.

Yes, I have done...
Please look on the third party site : boinc.berkeley.edu/download_other.php. On Stefan Urbat's site you will find binaries for HPUX 10.20, 11.0 and 11i (V.1 and V.2) on PARISC and 11i on IA64.

Sorry, forgot something...
There is a very long HPUX thread in the number crunching forums : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=10887

You need a minimum patchlevel and some patches, that it would run stable. The installation, configuration and the patchlevel and something more is written down in the quick install guide (/opt/boinc/doc/install), this guide is also included in the swinstall readmes.

I have made a configure script, which do the most configurations for you. It is not included in the package. But downloadable at http://www.dotsch.de/seti/hpux/config_boinc-seti.sh

Thanks for you excellent information but I didnt have any luck getting the client to run and I cant seem to find the deamon running in top after I stop and start it or reboot, unless the deamon name is different then boincd or some such.

Basically I get a "SIGBUS:bus error" message everytime I try to start the client. I did go through and updated my system with all Hp's recommended patches and even tried rolling back my GCC install to 3.4.3 as noted in the README's as required libraries to run .

This is probably something stupid I'm doing wrong or the program won't support systems with multi processors or with more then a gig of memory or something else obvious I'm just not getting.

Do you have configured the startup in /etc/rc.config.d/boinc ?

Strange, i had no system before with a SIGBUS...
The requried libs are installed in /opt/boinc/lib. Best way to test if all run successfull, is to open a terminal, export the SHLIB PATH (export SHLIB_PATH=/opt/boinc/lib) and start the boinc client. Now you see all the messages on this terminal. - Can you please post this messsages.
I am not shure, but it could be, that the SHLIB_PATH is not set correctly, and the boinc client uses the gcc 3.4.3 libs, which cause this SIGBUS. - The boinc client was compiled with gcc 4.0.0.

This is probably something stupid I'm doing wrong or the program won't support systems with multi processors or with more then a gig of memory or something else obvious I'm just not getting.

Boinc will have no problems with large memory, or a lot of CPUs. - I have tested by my self.
How many CPUs do you have installed in your system ? - If you have more than two CPUs, you have to configure more about the "general preferences" at the seti site.

Which HPUX release do you have ?

Do you have tusc installed ? - It should be donwloadable at the HPUX sofware porting centre (hpux.asknet.de).
Can you please email me (seti_boinc at dotsch dot de) the output from the tusc ("tusc ./boinc_client > out 2>&1"). Please let the tusc run about 5 Minutes, if it will not abort by self.

Hello
Today i start run Seti on my Ia64 dual 733 Itanium but its not realy the "WOOW" performance.
I think the 64 bit not realy used see my account computer.
or maybe i made something wrong?
can somebody help?

You are using Linux on IA64. Which binaries do you use ?
What do you mean excatly ? - The 733 MHz is not the high performer. If you mean the low benchmarks, it is "OK", the measurement of the benchmarks are differing heavly from the ammount and speed of the L1/L2/L3 cache and the speed of the memory. So systems with higher caches have lower benchmark results like the systems with lower caches.
The boinc benchmark is only good for credit calculations. And the seti app do the real science. The science app do a lot of floating. Here your IA64 should now perform good...

hmm i think its not good performance i use
BOINC client version 4.32 for ia64-unknown-linux-gnu
and seti app 4.7
i too have version 5.2 with manager but i have stable debian and its a unstable version i dont know how to run :-(
and iam not a specialist in linux it's my 1st try maybe someone have a better client? or i will ask someone maybe i must compile myself? or maybe he just emulate the 64 bit ? how long will calc one WU?
Thanks for help!

You can not refer the benchmarks for performance. The real performance, you will see, if you complete some WUs.

BOINC client version 4.32 for ia64-unknown-linux-gnu
and seti app 4.7

Where do you have downloaded the bianries ? - Are you using the i386 binaries on IA64 ? - Can Linux run the i386 binaries on IA64 like on HPUX ?
I recommend you this (real) IA64 binaries : http://www.lb.shuttle.de/apastron/boincDown.shtml#gnuit
The binaries are stable, have a good performance and are well tested. This binaries are 64 bits.
The HPUX IA64 binaries are about 3 hours on a IA64/1500 MHz, so on your system they will run about 6 to 8 hours.
I have made new binaires for IA64. This binaries are in testing in the moment. If you wan't to try out, I can mail it you. My email : seti_boinc at dotsch dot de.

I did not recommend you to compile it yourself, if you have not enought Unix knowledge....

Hmn yes i run debian Linux and i use the files for ia64 from this page but if you send me your application files i will test it..

---

if you send me your application files i will test it..

Can you please write me (seti_boinc at dotsch dot de) a email, i will send you the new binaries.

---

You can download boinc and the seti@home app here.

Yes i run this application but the performance is crazy bad
my 1st WU need 30,642.54 seconds this are 8,5h ? 2x:60

my 1st WU need 30,642.54 seconds this are 8,5h ? 2x:60

I think this is in the normal range for this old IA64 CPU.

Yes you won't get a faster one an times seem ok to me.
Anyhow those binaries were build using gcc which performs very poorly on ia64.

I'm in the process of building S@H enhanced app. using intels compiler which should boost performance on ia64.

I finally got it working, there was an odd patch I was missing that the Hp gold packs didnt cover. running like a charm (slow) but running..got the list from the readme and I just installed patch packs i didnt have till it worked (I'm brilliant), the fooler was the sigbus error after I hacked around in the scripts till I got the sigsegv error then i finally got to the patches.

thanks for ideas and areas to look for.

Nice Cruncer :-) when finish tell me i will test :-)

and by the way the other Projects?? dont have Ia64 Apps?

Which patch exactly do you have installed to get it work ?

Which CPUs do you have in your K-Class ? - Do you have 32 or 64 bit running ? - The 64 bit seti app will be about 20 % faster than the 32 bit one.

its a dual 733Mhz 2Mb pc i run boinc 4.45 Ia64 64bit core client and seti 4.7app Ia64 64 bit
