BOINC in OSX

I saw that there is version of BOINC that can run in OSX. Anyone tryed it? I have a couple Macs at work, but in order to run last version I need to upgrade OSX. I wonder if it worth spending money?

Re: BOINC in OSX

Toly --

While I cannot answer your question regarding a BOINC OSX Agent, I am afraid that you will find that the World Community Grid applications (FightAIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding) will not run on the OSX platform even though you may be able to run the agent.

Re: BOINC in OSX

Well, it does answer my question. I kinda didn't think about that. Thanks.

FYI I have a OSX 10.4.5 Mac OS X running BOINC on the rosetta@home project. I wanted to run BOINC on my Mac for the FightAIDS@Home project but it is not supported by WCG at this time

So my trusty Mac is helping to find other cures.

Re: BOINC in OSX

Al, thanks for good news. My Macs at work still running 10.2.?? version of OSX, so it will require a bit of upgrading to run BOINC. Well, now I can convince my boss it needs upgrading biggrin
