MG Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Recently I've acquired an Itanium 2 (IA-64) based HP system. I've installed Windows XP 64-bit edition on it, just to see how it works. I was wondering, is Houdini for IA-64 still archived somewhere? I'd love to try it out. Thanks in advance.

MG Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'm still looking for it. Did anything show up in the meantime? Besides a maxed out rx2600 I've also acquired two rx2620s. Both with very recent dual dual-core, multi-threaded (hyperthreading), “Montecito” processors and with 24 GB RAM, two 10 Gbit ethernet adapters, 15K and 10K Ultra320 SCSI disks. One with a AMD/ATi Radeon HD5450 (PCI), so, a pretty interesting system for Houdini. (Both systems are normally used for VMS and, to a lesser degree, also a bit of HP-UX.)

smaugthewyrm Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) if you installed linux instead, couldn't you just use the posted linux production build binaries as-is? Edited September 15, 2011 by smaugthewyrm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 if you installed linux instead, couldn't you just use the posted linux production build binaries as-is? Itanium is a completely different architecture, compilers, libraries etc. MG, don't tell me SESI doesn't have such archive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) MG, don't tell me SESI doesn't have such archive! Nothing that they appear to be willing to share (at least, not with non-commercial users and enthusiasts). If anyone knows of a non-SESI archive, or backed up many Houdini releases over the years: Please, let me know. I'd greatly appreciate it. There was someone who had one or more IA-64 versions. But, he moved to Australia for work and he realized he left his data at home in the USA. Edited September 16, 2011 by MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
