You replied to a 2 year old thread.

We have had WUs on and off for the last few weeks just none at the moment.

Also you are a member of the team Overclockers UK? If you are overclocking you will likely return incorrect results and not get any credit as LHC is very sensitive to overclocking.


Well, the answer may be incorrect, but look how fast he got it!

(sorry).


2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : A Macintosh OSX Client (Message 19530)

I would be interested.

It is also posible to let LHC running with Crossover. If anyone is interested, I can write a little howto.


I have it working with Crossover, too. There are some problems with older BOINC client with the CPU counting - but not shure, if this is fixed with the newer one.
But, the perfomance is OK. A lot of better as with Parallels, and less memory overhead. - But also tested with old Parallels 2.x.

I've written a Howto for installing and configuring the Windows BOINC client with LHC@home on Intel based Macs. It's available at www.dotsch.de/boinc under the BOINC Howtos section.


There is a perfectly good BOINC client available for the Mac (I'm running one right now). The problem would be the LHC client, which is compiled with the Lahey Fortran compiler. Lahey uses the Fujitsu compiler and is available for Windows and Linux, but alas not for Mac.

I've got over 17 years experience with the Lahey compiler(s). I'd be willing to port the code to run using the GNU gfortran compiler or g95 compiler, both of which are available on the Mac. I'd even invest in the Intel Fortran compiler, since that might be slightly faster.
