i have a TRU64/alpha machine available that i would like to try out.

[Death]

you can search for NBEgon

[ShoeLace]

cheers,

I've emailed Phil and asked for the source code..

N-begon, as far as i remember is excruciatingly slow. Perhaps it would be best to try to find the source for proth sieve and see about that.

[ShoeLace]

well i thougth of that.. but from what i read, most of the otehrs were using atleast some form of assembly.

which as you know doesn't port to other architectures.

I don't believe Klasson ever released the source you might want to start by contacting him directly.

Death,

You may want to try contacting Greenbank, He has a very fast client for the mac. I think it's G5 but I might be mistaken.

[Death]

he send me a link to macintosh siever for G5
dmn only G4 around
hope I change it for G5 today ))))

[Greenbank]

I've got the sieve client working on PPC Linux too now, again only for 64-bit G5 processors, not G4.

For G4 try looking at the sr2sieve project over at mersenneforum.org:-

Haven't had a chance to try it but I will do tonight as I've got a Mac Mini back at home and I was wanting to get something sieving on that.
