Posted by ximi, 04-07-2008, 11:48 PM This is a bit off topic but I am looking for a person kind enough to test install a few RPM packages on an AMD 64 bit system with a 64 bit OS (Fedora or otherwise), preferably an Opteron but not required. The RPMs in question are IBM's DaCS which is something designed for a supercomputer yet to be created. We have one part of the DaCS model but oddly enough, we don't have any AMD systems (tons of high end Intels however). On Intel machines, after installing these RPMs, the binary that is to be run (/usr/sbin/hdacsd) fails with a "Floating point exception" so I'd like to find out if this is an issue caused by a 3DNow optimizations to these RPM binaries (Intel does not support 3DNow) or something else. I've put up the RPMs at http://omglol.ods.org/dacs/ and the main one to be installed is dacs-hybrid-3.0.0-7.x86_64.rpm After installation, run hdacsd (possibly in /usr/sbin) and tell me if you get the floating point exception. Thanks in advance to all who try
