Access to SPARC 64

[Ondřej Čertík]

Hi,

I am a release manager for the next NumPy release (1.7) and we have
one bug that only shows
on SPARC 64, see below for details.

Is there anyone who would be willing and able to give me an access to
such a machine so that I can debug it?
Jason recommended to ask on the Sage list. I am BCCing the NumPy list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ondrej

There are such machines on skynet, e.g. mark.
-bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS mark 5.10 Generic_127111-01 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-2500
-bash-3.00$ isainfo -b
64

I suppose William can get you access to it, if you don't have it
already.

HTH,

skynet may be a good solution, I figured I'd just also mention the GCC
compile farm as an option too:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm

From their description, numpy qualifies for access and they have a
very wide array of hardware/OS combinations. But I've never used it
myself, so I don't know if in practice it's a good solution or not.

Cheers,

Thanks Fernando and Dima. I have just applied to the compile farm
and also wrote to William.
