If you still talk to him, please send my regards and thanks! I saw once, but don't have, a NeXTStep application which did a side-by-side comparison of Mandelbrot set calculations on the 68030 (on the original Cube) and on the DSP56000 audio co-processor. The DSP56000 was faster. That application dropped off the NeXT radar when the newer machines came out with the 68040, since that CPU was faster than the DSP56000. Personally, I think it would be awesome to resurrect that code and get Distributed.net running on my NeXT's '040 and 56000 simultaneously, but have not managed to squeeze time into my schedule to (learn how to and then) do that.

Current clients for AmigaOS/68k and NeXTStep/68k (I'm running it) exist, so that may give a de facto lower boundary for the effective compute power an 1802 array would have to contribute, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest you probably can contribute with anything you can make run. Their *earliest* projected completion date for any active project is 22-Jul-2015. -- - Mark 210-379-4635 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Large Asteroids headed toward planets inhabited by beings that don't have technology adequate to stop them: Think of it as Evolution in Fast-Forward.
