Hmm... It's a tough deal...
tg3 driver seems to be doable.  But HPL... no idea at all. :(

ok, for those not familiar, I believe you can ftp it from top500.org, or 
there are instructions there. 

There's a lot of smart people on this list! surely somebody out there 
would like to give this a shot. I'm going to run it on a machine that was 
#67 last time around if you get the port done!

let's make a deal.  

If somebody gets me a working tg3 driver, and somebody else gets me a 
working HPL for Plan 9, I will reboot a 256-node cluster I have here and 
do the run, and report the result to top500.org.

The number will suck, as the network is gigE, but it will be a number 
nonetheless.

do you have the linpack code compiled for p9?  it'll be interesting to
see what happens if you compile it with dhog's gcc 3.0.

ps: i need both broadcom and syskonnect (3c2000, i believe) drivers to
run any of my gige-enabled motherboards :(

that code should be much less gcc-centric than most junk nowadays, so 8c 
should work without much hassle. In theory.

I'm getting worn out on all the gcc-isms I keep seeing. But I keep my 
sense of humor ready.
