Hello. When reading this title, you will directly think ``Still a fellow who wants something impossible; we have already spoken about it, and, definitively, it cannot be done.'' I am directly going to give you an example. I have an HP iPAQ Hx4700, with a 624 Mhz CPU clock, which is three times the CPU clock of my Pentium II which I use to compute SETI@home units. Concerning my PDA, it has 64 Mb internal memory, and I have 4Gb extension cards. Thus, it must be able to compute at least SETI@home units. I am even convinced that it would be able to compute climatepredictions.net models in time. Why is there thus no port to such devices? I am frustrated. See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ for more pieces of info. |

There's a thread about this here. Thanks. I had already read it, and I did not learn anything more. |

No. You've been told all there is. If you still want to try, then you'll have to do the work yourself. As for your earlier statement that you felt that you could eventually complete a cpdn climate model on it, you wouldn't even be able to start one. Those models depend on the Floating Point Unit in 86x type cpus for the calculations. The programs are those written by the UK Met Office for weather and climate modelling on their supercomputers, and are about a million lines of floating point Fortran. And one of the latest types of climate model needs the SSE2 instruction set, so these won't even run on desktop computers that are too old. It's possible that your problem is that you just don't understand the background behind BOINC and the science programs created by various groups of people. |

Thanks for these pieces of info. Sorry, but I do not know everything about all projects. Just excuse me.
I think that your problem would be to be unpleasant, to be clear too. It would not thus be able to run CPDN experiments, okay, but SETI would be fine. |
