[Starpu-devel] StarPU on macos ?

[Pierre RAMET <ramet@labri.fr>]

Hello,
While I was waiting to add an old gcc compiler 4.4 on my server (4.6 is
known to be not compatible with CUDA...), I have try to install StarPU
on my laptop (macbook air with Lion)...
No problem during the compilation of the trunk version (svn 5526), but
during the "make check", it fails on :
> PASS: datawizard/dining_philosophers
> 5042 = 42 + 5000
> 10042 = 5042 + 5000

I need to stop the "reclaim" process that use 150% of the cpus but never
end ...
There is no hurry :)
Pierre.

PS: Xavier notices a regression in StarPU about performances between
release 0.9 et 1rc ...
PaStiX-over-StarPU with "audi" matrix, multicore kernels only :
StarPU 0.9 : about 200s with 8 cores
StarPU 1rc : more than 1000s with the same 8 cores
