MeOS for Mac and Linux

Updated: 2012-12-14

Currently there is only a MeOS version for Windows, which works with Windows XP and later versions.

On Mac it is possible to run MeOS by starting a virtual windows machine. This has been tested and seems to work well. A similar approach has also been used successfully on a Linux computer.

Linux server

Using a Linux computer as server with the MySQL database works well. Note that even fore rather large competitions, the capacity demands on the server are rather limited since every connected MeOS client perform its own computations locally. Therefore it is more important to have a robust server computer, than a fast one. In general, you can use the server computer as a client also (provided it runs a windows version) to decrease the number of computers needed.
