I have a ridiculously powerful multiprocessor machine at my disposal in our lab not fully exploited.
It\'s has 1024 CPUs (2GHz UltraSPARC 64bit) with 4TB of RAM, and only a little under half the processors are used at any moment running fluid dynamics simulations.
I can donate up to 512 CPUs so I decided to join BOINC, however, to my disappointment, only SETI@home and SIMAP support Solaris on SPARC.
Since I am not interested in those, I was wondering if there is a way to build a malariacontrol application for Solaris on SPARC.
I have a fairly good amount of programming experience so maybe I can contribute to porting the application, testing etc...
Any thoughts?

WOW, what a machine! You should PM Michael. He is a project scientist and admin.

Hi jvax,
wow, yes, this a really powerful machine that you have.. I'm sorry for not replying to your(and other's) pm's.. I think a web-code-update inbetween must have broken the forwarding to my mailaccount.. I think for my application it doesn't make much sense to make a sparc version, since it's a smaller side project (though if you had come 1 year ago I wouldn't have ported my application to boinc but maybe instead tried to port it to your machine, since it might have been enough power :) I will pass your request on to the developers of the main app (let's hope it's not too late already..). Michael

The table is not so precisise.
The BOINC wiki shows a little bit more detailed the supported platforms :

SIMAP, SETI and Einstein also supports Solaris on SPARC.
