GIMPS Mersenne prime clients on Solaris?

Will any of the GIMPS clients run on Solaris, since it is a UNIX derivative?

Mlucas certainly does...

Refer http://hogranch.com/mayer/README.html

There is an older binary for USIII processors there.

I have also created a binary for Solaris/AMD64 though it is still only in 32bit mode. I'm currently trying to get a 64-bit version going which should be substantially faster.

What platform are you looking to run on?

I would like to run it on any x86 platform.

Go here for a free copy of Solaris 10:

Try downloading this

http://hogranch.com/mayer/README.html#amd64_solaris

And do the self test ./Mlucas -s m

I think it should work on any x86 Solaris, let me know how it goes for you.

I also have just created a single thread 32bit version of Glucas for x86/Solaris. It's a little slower than Mlucas.

Both Mlucas and Glucas have plenty of room for system tuning which I am working on (ever so slowly).
