Has anyone had any luck in getting Molec3D (ff482) on abcfd20 to work?
The manual claims that it runs on all Amigas, but I tried it on an old
A1000 with 2.5M and on a 25MHz A3000 with 8M, and both produce an
Undefined connect-item: O56\n
error message when loading the atrovenetin demo.

Does anybody know of an archive of files that will work with either Molec3D or the IBM Alchemy software? _________________________________________________________________ / |CIVIR1070@ucsvax.sdsu.edu| Q: Is there a UNIX FORTRAN optomizer? \ \ | Scott Ellis | A: Yeah, "rm *.f" _ / / |_________________________| _ // Amiga \ \_______________________________________________\X/_________________/

I would guess that you had some sort error when downloading. Try it again.

For what system are you developing this package? I'd love to be able to do some work at home instead of going to lab (although the Iris in the lab is nice to play with). If it isn't for the Amiga, then I guess I'll just have to get back to my plans of writing on myself.

This package is a general parallel computing package written in a language invented here for that very purpose. Currently it runs in an Intel iPSC/860. We see > Cray-2 performance with 16 i860 nodes. Now if a friend of mine gets off his but and builds is dream parallel machine (bunch of '030s in a box with an ethernet port) maybe we'll see it running on a machine that costs < $300,000. :-) -- J.

They were working with a connections machine, and a homebrew setup consisting of 20 t-800 transputers sitting in a PC. Got about 1/4th cray speed for ~20K, the connections setup was much faster than the cray (actually, they said that the cray would not even work with large systems). Getting back to the Amiga, a few multiprocessing boards stuffed in Zorro III slots, along with a 34020 graphics board setup could make on hell of a killer modeling workstation, for a mere $25-30K.
