As some people are aware hardware testing of MPIR is vitally important. I'd like to acknowledge the support of the following who provide hardware for us to test on:
Jason Moxham, Brian Gladman, Jason Martin - MPIR developers who provide build tests on their own machines Jeff Gilchrist - testing on Windows and Cygwin on his own machines University of Warwick - we occasionally test on machines provided to me by them EPSRC - the UK funding agency which pays my salary at Warwick University and which has provided funding for me to purchase equipment which I will be able to use to test MPIR on occasion A US Government Research organisation - provide access to a build farm for us to do build testing on and a person to help us with infrastructure and build testing support The Sage foundation at University of Washington - via the NSF have been able to purchase hardware that they have given us access to, for testing of MPIR Glenn Tarbox - Independent Seattle software developer has provided access to a machine for build testing of MPIR and for MPIR GPU development In addition to these kind organisations and individuals there is now the following: Sun kindly donated a nice machine to the Sage Foundation, which we will be able to test MPIR on. It is a T2000 Fire server with Ultrasparc T1 Sparcv9 processor with support for 128 threads. What is very impressive is that Sun was so keen to send this to the Sage project that it arrived just two days after they said they were sending it! And they explicitly said it was an unrestricted gift. This is obviously also a real boon for MPIR. Thank you Sun!! I've also been told we can expect access to some kind of AIX machine. Don't know the details though sorry. We've also just got access to a build farm for Open Source software. That's got lots of goodies on it, and for example I just tested MPIR on an armv5tel and it passed no worries. I'll add the new machines to the test matrix at http://www.mpir.org/ as they pass and as I figure out what they are. Thanks very much to the organisations which donated hardware to that project, listed at the bottom of this page: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm I'd also like to thank the many Sage developers who regularly test Sage on their machines and provide build feedback about MPIR (which is used by Sage). Without these many build reports, we could not continue as a project. Thank you, and keep them coming!! If anyone wishes to donate further hardware for us to test on, please contact us.
