    If somebody is interested,
    the Project Administrator would like to know how many solaris clients would be attached if they come out with a Solaris version.

      It appears there are about 95 SPARC / Solaris setups on Einstein@Home and I think about 2100 or so on Seti@Home, if I remember correctly. I am going off the host stats from the websites. This will at least give you an idea if it is worth porting.

          Just so you know how I did it. I downloaded the stats in XML format for the hosts and imported it into MS Access 2003. If they are going to target an arch for SPARC, almost all are sparcV9 with a few V8. Looking at the makeup may help when you go to optimize. From the GCC docs, it optimizes by default for sparcV7. I think they will be safe with '-mpu=v9' or '-mpu=ultrasparc'(targets UltraSPARC I & II). I really don't know what the optimizations do or if it is worth excluding the v8 arch.
