ok, i added /usr/lib/lwp/sparcv9 and /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.2/sparcv9 to see if that make changes....
with my old version 4.43
i don't know if it was the problem.... but my albert seems to do his job now....
very very slow... but to the end :-)
the only thing is that it doesn't actualize the CLIENT-STATS.... it shows something to the 10%... and then nothing to the end... and my Boinc-Viewer doesn't show any movement on the WUs... but that is not so important....
does someone know how i can say to the boinc-client or the albert that he must update his percentages / stats in the xml...... (is that related to break/check points ???) so that my boincviewer show me the cpu-times and percentages as seti is doing..... ???
some more infos...... i have 2 WUS that seams once more not to go farther.... :-(
first the client_state.xml..... and the slots files.....
i don't know...perhaps could someone find here something wrong.... the checkpoints seam really not to work on my machine.....
Is that normal "Fstat file reached MaxFileSizeKB" ???
From looking at the stats data for this site, I see one sparcv8, two sparcv8plus+vis and the rest are sparcv9+vis or sparcv9plus+vis2. There were 95 'sparc's What would you think about just making the SPARC / Solaris client for the sparcv9 and above series. I think this is all the UltraSPARCs. I am personally running a SunBlade 100 with 2Gb RAM.
I forgot to add that the client I installed and downloaded worked fine for me. If we want more SPARC Solaris users, it might be nice to get the word out to the SPARC Solaris users on Seti@home or get an anouncement on Boinc.

can i ask what version of the client it was ? and what for version of einstein ? and what of an OS version you have ? :-)
i'm sad because if it doesn't work better soon, i'll have no other choice than give up :-(
How do you have your Boinc Viewer set up to connect to the Sun box? I tried to play with it but got nothing. What command line options do you have to do? Currently, I just run the Solaris SPARC client with 'run_client' and no options.

the option is "-allow_remote_gui_rpc" and you must have a key in the file "gui_rpc_auth.cfg" ...

I just looked at the SPARC/Solaris stats from Einstein today. This is what I am seeing. I am showing 99 clients with a p_model like "*sparcv*". Three are sparcv8 and the rest are sparcv9. If you don't mind excluding the v8 arch, the client could be targeted for ultrasparc in the compiler options. It seems targeting to Solaris 7 is a good choice as it runs on everything above.
Stefan, I see you make up some BOINC clients for Seti and BOINC itself. Have you got any enhancements in your work or seen any speedups? I see that you say the US III client may go for Niagara? From the Sun website, I don't think T1 processors support vis and they are marked as v9 only. I think there are two T2000 machines running on Seti@home according to there stats I downloaded. Solaris, from what I understand, has excellent compatibility up and down the line from versions 7 to 10. Do you see any differences in client targeted for Solaris 7 running on Solaris 10 compared to a targeted Solaris 10 running on Solaris 10? According to the docs for GCC 4.0.2, by default it creates a v7 target. I am guessing you use -mpu= v9 or ultrasparc or ultrasparc3 options.
I am guessing portability is most important to keep up with all the different possible clients. Sticking with just the command line versions, is there much difference between Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and Solaris?

I am on Solaris 10. You should be able to see my computers because I don't have them hidden. Just click on my username link in the forum.
