Hello All,

Maybe the silliest question this newsgroup has ever seen,because this
machine
wasn't developed for a task like this but would anyone know how Seti would
run on a Sparcserver 1000 8x85 MHz, 2 GB RAM ?

It will simultaneously run 8 seti jobs *really* slow.

Slowly. Very slowly.

The SS1000 is roughly a 10 year old machine. Enough said?

Drifting slightly of topic :-

Does anyone know where to find documentation on the internals of the
SS1000 and other Sun4d systems. The Sparc Linux kernel team do not
have any documentation on low level stuff such as programming the
internal bus, so Linux can only use one processor without barfing.

Other Sun architectures are reasonably well documented but information
on Sun4d seems to be rather elusive.

Yes

Both you and Elias thanks for your reply.

For a short while I ran 3.03 on a SparcStation 5, 85MHz that took 5 days
per work unit. I suppose an SS1000 would be similar, maybe on average
producing one work unit every 15-20 hours.

This is almost the same as a single 400-500MHz Celeron, at 8 times the
electricity cost.
