Hi Austin,

Thank you so much for your interest. I will talk with our IT department to see what we can do. I can put a Solaris 10 in DMZ. However, I will try to see if any other department has any other system running Solaris 11 available.

Beside ssh in and out, what other ports we need?

If anybody else is interested, please let me know.


Regards,
Habib

    Hi Marek,

    Thank you very much for your response. I'll start with C++ part as
    you suggested. To gain some experiences, I'll try to compile it on
    Linux (Redhat/Centos) first. Then, I'll try to port cmake to
    Solaris and will compile it there.

    Also, once again, if people are interested in porting to SPARC, I
    maybe able to provide a SPARC system for them to connect. The
    system will be in DMZ so people can connect to from outside. If
    anybody interested, please let me know so I will see what I can do.

    Once again, thank you so much.

    Regards,
    Habib

        Can Nupic take advantages of system(s) with many cores,

    Halfway. The core library is not parallel (imho it's the next big
    issue we need to face).
    Swarming (the optimization process for finding best parameters
    for models) would benefit (but thousands of cores is maybe an
    outstretch)
    More complex models, consisting of several "simple CLAs" running
    in hierarchy would, this could be interesting!

        and big size memories, and big data? Sounds it is product
        that can work with big data, am I right?

    yes and YES! esp the python part was memory hungry, according to
    my simple experiments (100k inputvector, 10k SP,TP) could quickly
    drain 16gb RAM of personal machine.


        Can it take advantages of many cores and big size memory?

    see above


        Fujitsu new M10 systems can go up to 1024 cores, 2048
        threads, and 32 TB of memory.

        Regarding of resources, I may be able to provide a SPARC
        based hardware (Solari 10 or maybe Solaris 11), if you are
        interested. Not a M-10 system, but something which software
        can be ported on.

        Python should not be a problem. We already have Python ported
        on Solaris. Also, C and C++ compilers and bunch of other
        tools are already available.

        Another concern is cmake, I have not found it on Solaris.

    i;ve found this, https://www.opencsw.org/package/cmake/ , is it
    avail for you?


        Python's pip, I'm not sure if available and if really needed.
        If it is needed, may be needed to get ported.

    pip is just installation tool, if you install  the dependencies
    manually, it's fine.


        Docker, not available on Solaris. New SPARC systems already
        come with hypervisor and domains run on top of a hypervisor.

    not needed.


        Anyway, the goal is compiling, porting Nupic for SPARC.

    you could start with the C++ part, which we recently extracted to
    a small stand-alone nupic.core.  See external/ folder there for
    libs that you'll need to satisfy.

    Cheers,
