Hello!

Can project developers compile application(s) and BOINC client for IBM AIX 5.3 running on IBM Power 570 servers?

Thank you!

Gravitational AIX-application

Hi,

BOINC and SETI applications for several exotic plattforms are listed on SETI boards, e.g this message.

I don't think that E@H has time and manpower to prepare AIX binaries. Source code is available, so maybe you find a volunteer.

Michael

I am not assure, but I think

I am not assure, but I think that many administrators of huge business computing machines have a good technical or scientific education and like physics, mathematics and other nature sciences.

Some peoples can run AIX-application on big number of cores, and may be many other...

This is also true for e.g. Solaris (SPARC and x86). However the actual contribution from these machines has shown to be not worth the effort to continue to maintain an official Solaris App (which we once had).

Besides that I would have machines and environments for Solaris/SPARC, IRIX/Mips and a couple more, but nothing for AIX (RT or PPC).

Although a pain to build, the GW application is still the most portable of our Apps, mainly because of LALSuite being pure C99. If you happen to have a development environment, feel free to give building the GW App a try. Initial instructions are on our license page. If you run into trouble, feel free to ask for help, but please be aware that we can't treat such requests with high priority.
