Hello, I recently acquired a Sun Blade 2500 UltraSPARC IIIi dual-cpu workstation running Solaris 10 1/13, and I've been working on building and testing modern, UltraSPARC optimized packages for the following:
* Python 3.9.19 * OpenBLAS 0.2.20 * Tcl/tk 8.6.14 * SDL2 2.30.4 * numpy 1.22.4 * lapack 3.12.0 I'm working on a few other things, such as other SDL2 components and other python packages like matplotlib, pygame, etc. I found that, for a RISC processor like the SPARC, configuring the compiler to target the proper CPU makes a huge difference. Thus, I'd like to target at least -mcpu=ultrasparc, preferably -mcpu=ultrasparc3. If it's a relatively straightforward process to package this up as a package and add it to OpenCSW, I could try to do that. Let me know if there is interest. I'm a big Python fan, so I'm working toward having a complete enough set of python tools to accomplish all the things I'm interested in. Regards, Jon
