Hi Mathew, <snip> >Thanks for your input. I've wondered because recent statements by Bob referred >to the changes required as "tweaks", which made it sound like it was not a large >effort, and that if he had access to a NUMA machine, he might work on it. I'm not sure of what/why Prof. Bob Hyatt may have made those comments. But to get a program like crafty to work properly in a numa machine will not be trivial - and it wont be tweaks , but something more. > >Do the AMD duals count as NUMA? Or an old dual G4 Mac? If so, I'd think those >might be quite cheap, relatively speaking. Perhaps someone could donate one for >the purpose. Somone with as little as a dual, Linux/BSD/OSX and a cable modem >could effectively donate machine time by creating accounts for the good >professor and/or his minions, perhaps. > >Just a thought. > >Regards, >Matt Duals , etc count as SMP machine not cc-numa which I was refering to. A search on google game me : http://www.sara.nl/userinfo/reservoir/ccnuma/ which can be mined for more info ! I'm sure Prof Bob Hyatt may be able to get hold of a numa machine (or a user account in one) if he wants to , through his college/university , for crafty. I hope you were not refering to me as one of the "minions" ;)
