Hi, For anyone interested, I've placed some more versions of MacLucasUNIX on my ftp server (ftp://lettuce.edsc.ulst.ac.uk/gimps/software) There are now additional versions compiled using gcc for Ultra CPUs (the original file also worked on SuperSparcs) and three executables compiled by Bill Rea using Sun's own compiler, optimized for different configurations using Ultra CPUs. The speed increase is quite marked: on my Ultra 10 (300 MHz Ultra IIi CPU, 128MB RAM, Solaris 2.6) the generic Sparc code takes 33 mins, against 25 mins using the Ultra code generated by gcc and only 19 mins against the best of Bill Rea's executables - the time being that required to execute 5000 iterations using a 256K FFT.
