Title: Omar, please read right away
Post by fotland on Dec 27^th, 2004, 10:54am

Omar, I haven't received any information on how to port bomb for the computer tournament. The other participants have already ported. I've sent you several e-mails. There must be some e-mail malfunction between us. Please send me the information again, and call me at 408 985 1236 to verify that I got it.

Thanks,

David

Nevermind, I just saw the other post with the information.

Seems like my emails are not getting through to you. They are not bouncing back either. Your emails are getting to me.

Might just be a mail filter or something that is blocking my emails. If you have another address that I can write to you on, please email it to me.

Omar

Your e-mail today come through ok, but I never saw last week's e-mail. I get a lot of spam, and this isn't the first time e-mail has been lost, but it seems rare.

The bomb port is finished, and it seems to work ok.

Your server is quite a bit slower than the 1.6 GHz Pentium M I'm using for speedy, or perhaps it's just that GCC is not as good a compiler as Microsoft's. I'm seeing about 2/3 the nodes/second on your server. Bomb won't be much stronger than speedy. Sometimes Bomb will look one step deeper than speedy.

The server hardware is:

The clock speed if faster but the CPU is a P4.
Maybe a Pentium M is much faster than a P4.
I guess having 2 processors won't make much
of a difference.

Clueless runs on an Athlon XP 2800. It is getting roughly the same speed on the server, although it is in Java.

Also a comment for next year. Personally, I think a 64 bit single processor would be a more effective use of the $1000, than a dual 32 bit processor setup. But that's just my opinion.

Pentium M is a cute Prozessor :-)
