I have access to brand new IA-64 big iron hardware up to 512 CPU's running windows and 4TB of memory. Any plans on an ia-64 port?

I love to use these tools on our X64 platforms as a stress tool to find bugs :)

Thanks

Well, then use it to compile BOINC itself, using all cores at the same time (one compiler instance per .cpp file), it should take around 5 seconds :)

Dotsch has or keeps track of ports for various other platforms. See this thread for links and info.

I am still working on the BOINC and BOINC projects ports for the most Unixes. But, I have absolutly now knowledge from Windows. So I did not think that I am able to port the BOINC client to IA64 Windows.

Btw. what's about to use HPUX or Linux on the IA64 systems ? - There is a BOINC client and SETI@home and SIMAP applications available for these platforms.
