Grackle Probe X 1.4
Grackle Probe accelerates Grackle based Macs that are using the Quartz Extreme PCI hack thats been mentioned recently more>> Grackle Probe accelerates Grackle based Macs that are using the Quartz Extreme PCI hack thats been mentioned recently. Grackle Probe could accelerate Grackle based Macs that have high-performance PCI cards, without needing to use the Quartz Extreme PCI hack or any undesirable side effects that QE has. It is not known what the compatibility or the side effects of enabling PCI Store Gathering is.
Mac OS X 10.2 or later, one of the follow Mac models:
- PowerMac G3 (Beige)
- PowerMac G3 (Blue & White)
- iMac G3 233MHz -> 333MHz
- PowerBook G3 Series (Wallstreet?), Apr 1998
- PowerBook G3 Series (Lombard?), Apr 1999
- possibly other older G3 PowerMacs or PowerBooks.
Version 1.4 adds the following:
- Version 1.4 is more reliable on OS X 10.2.0 now due to switching back to the GCC 3.1 compiler.
- Changed GrackleProbe so it is suitable for dropping into /Library/StartupItems.
- Now comes with grackletool. When GrackleProbe is loaded, executing grackletool will display a bunch of information about the Grackle chip.
- Grackletool will display the SDRAM CAS settings the Grackle memoryx controller is configured for. If you have CL 3 RAM, the SDRAM CAS setting is like 3. If you have CL 2 RAM, the CAS setting might or might not be 2. The firmware calculates this really early at startup.
- There may or may not be an incompatibility with the ACARD 6820 IDE PCI card. Two people with this card have reported a panic. Im looking into this.
FoldingObserver 1.3
FoldingObserver - Easily monitor all your Folding@Home clients in your local network more>>
FoldingObserver gives you a simple possibility to monitor your Folding@Home clients within your network. You can keep track of lots of details of your clients.

- Highlights clients with high progress
- Clients can be arranged in groups
- Shows inactive clients with details
- Shows the last and the average CPU usage
- Shows the time per percent

- The "Checkpoint"- function makes it easy to monitor a progress over a certain time, e.g. over night.
So, how does FoldingObserver work? FoldingObserver monitors the Folding@Home log- files regularly. From the informations out of these files, it is possible to process additional data. Afterwards, FoldingObserver transmits its collected data throughout your network to all connected computers. Each computer gets the same data, thus all computers stay up-to-date at any time. For you it is possible to check the progress of all clients on any computer. Folding@Home does not need to be running on all computers for this.
Your network consits of some PowerMacs, on wich Folding@Home and FoldingObserver is being executed. With your PowerBook you can monitor the progress of all PowerMac, without even being next to them.
FoldingObserver keeps all informations within a single (configurable) list. A doubleclick on one entry shows all available data.

StarfishX 2.0

It is based on Mars Saxmans original Mac OS 9 implementation of Starfish more>> Starfish X is a Mac OS X-native application which generates cool desktop patterns. It is based on Mars Saxmans original Mac OS 9 implementation of Starfish. The primary additions Starfish X makes over Marss original program are:
- Mac OS X native cocoa application.
- Altivec-enabled and multi-threaded to take full advantage of todays dual (and single) processor G4 PowerMacs (it will also run on a G3 Macintosh, although much slower).
- Support for multiple monitors (you can generate a different pattern for each monitor connected to your computer).
- Support for both TIFF and JPEG image files.
- Option to quit Starfish X when all patterns have been generated. (Perfect for use as a startup item!)
G4, Mac OS X 10.1 or later, 10.2.x recommended.
Version 2.0.1 adds many new features.

Starfish 2.0b5
Starfish generates cool desktop patterns more>>
Main features:
- Mac OS X native cocoa application.
- Altivec-enabled and multi-threaded to take full advantage of todays dual (and single) processor G4 PowerMacs. (There is also a version of Starfish X which will run on a G3 Macintosh, although its much slower).
- Support for multiple monitors (you can generate a different pattern for each monitor connected to your computer).
- Support for both TIFF and JPEG image files.
- Option to quit StarfishX when all patterns have been generated. (Perfect for use as a startup item!)
- Keeps track of recently-created patterns so you can go back to that really cool pattern StarfishX created yesterday.
Enhancements:
- StarfishX now comes as two separate downloads. One for G4 and higher machines, and one for G3 machines. It appears that the gcc 3.3 compiler added some G4 instructions to routines which call Altivec code, even if these such routines dont have any Altivec code in them themselves. This sucks, because it causes
- StafishX to crash on any G3-based machine. But Im unwilling to give up the 15% speed improvement this new compiler gives us just for this, so there are now two vesions. The G3 version will warn you if you run it on a machine with Altivec, and the G4+ version will refuse to run on a G3.
- Fixed a crash when dragging to rearrange palettes and/or colors.
- Removed a beep when you edited--but didnt change the name of--a palette.
