<p>Does anyone know of any computer calculations of the E2-term of the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence at p=2?</p>
<p>I'd love to get my hands on this data.</p>

I would love to be proved wrong on this, of course. </p>
<p>So far the only documented, algorithmic method that has any chance to be computationally succesful seems to be the method described by Zahler in 1969/1970.</p>
<p>You could use my programs to compute the $E_2$-term of the algebraic Novikov spectral sequence</p>
<p>$$\operatorname{Ext}_{EA}(F_2,F_2) \Rightarrow {\operatorname{Ext}}(BP_{\ast},BP_{\ast})$$</p>
<p>where $EA$ is an associated graded of the $2$-primary Steenrod algebra. But of course that's only a very rough approximation to the Novikov $E_2$-term. </p>
