why is cuda linux missing from download area?

<< < (2/2)

Brodo:
A good and helpful answer but it doesn't answer the original question. Why is the Linux x86_64 CUDA client not available from the download area ?

Something I've wondered myself on the odd occasion.

I wonder myself too.

Richard Haselgrove:
Because nobody has demonstrated themselves to be sufficiently community-minded to join this community, share coding ideas and techniques, develop a fully-fledged application, submit it for peer testing and tweak as necessary, supply documentation and source code, and stay around to help early adopters and maintain the apps as needed.

I think that's a reasonable (brief) summary of the sort of qualities that earn a place in the download area: people who just drop off hit-and-run applications en passant can make their own hosting arrangements.

Crunch3r ported and compiled the last MB linux aps as well as MB Cuda.
He was the "lead" developer of these, built them, and was far better prepared to deal w/ SW/HW compatibility and user support questions.
Linux (historically) has not been a very strong suit of familiarity and skills here, and realistically, Crunch3r has been the independent defacto Linux expert for quite a while.
However, Urs is bringing additional expertise and support in this area now.  ;) and our resident devs are becoming more familiar w/ Cuda and ATI programming.

Linux MB and x64 MB Cuda aps can be found at below links. 
EDIT: x32 MB Cuda ap is withdrawn due to unresolved bugs/issues. (Thanks for the heads-up Richard!)

Linux x64
Linux x32

The MB builds are in an announcement on page (2) of Lunatics home page.
They were also announced at NC in the Opt release thread.
