To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Does anyone have a place where to get the parsec thesis that is the base and documentation for the parsec engine?

Those links have been long dead 🙁

But I did a little searching and I would try this: http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/pub ... er-thesis/

Markus Hadwiger was a programmer for Parsec. If that is what your looking for I might download it and upload it to the download area so this isn't lost for good 🙂

Thanks Darkone but this is not the parsec paper.

The parsec paper describes the details of the implementation, where and why are limits and such things. Parsec consists of a networking layer. Even this part is interesting and it is described in the parsec thesis paper.

I downloaded the parsec lan test about 10 or more years ago and it was great. High performance on a 90MHz Pentium machine and support for Win32/Linux and MacOS.

For now I have the source code from the sourceforge repository. But not the papers.

I will do some more digging later, but have you tried to contact any of the development team that worked on parsec? Because I know these docs will be extremely hard to find since the links on Parsec stopped working almost 5-6yrs ago.

Got them ! 🙂

Found a link in the forum archive and it worked. It is a zip file with several pdfs in. Do you want the file to save the information?
