Time for a 64-bit ARM application? Other platfforms?
(Message 593)
Posted 36 days ago by Dirk Broer If I am going that far to just run the Linux application...I will just install a Linux VM. My request for the Android x86 compatible app is because I already have Android emulators installed for other stuff. If it isn't worth his time, than its not worth the extra cycles from me either. People Running Android on ARM SOCs are also running via UserLand.... |

Posted 52 days ago by Dirk Broer Any possibility of getting an x86 (or 64bit) Android application? I periodically run LDPlayer emulators for various things and would be willing to throw some unused cycles if you had an application to support them. The last project to have an x86 capable Android application was SETI. Now there are no projects with one. Can you try and install UserLand and so run Linux (and Boinc within it) via UserLand? |

Posted 62 days ago by Dirk Broer ….mind you, I’ve got a holiday to Cambridge planned, from which I hope to bring home a Pi400 as a trophy! I overclocked it to 2100 MHz via the following lines in the /boot/config.txt force_turbo=1 over_voltage=8 cpu_freq=2100 gpu_freq=750 put it on kernel 6.1 via sudo rpi-update next After that I got no video. I had to uncomment the next lines in /boot/config.txt hdmi_force_hotplug=1 config_hdmi_boost=4 and changing dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d into dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d -note the added 'f' After that I got video, but no task panel. Changing the HDMI port cured that. |

Posted 71 days ago by Dirk Broer ….mind you, I’ve got a holiday to Cambridge planned, from which I hope to bring home a Pi400 as a trophy! Recently bought a Pi400 and installed the OS on SSD from the web, straight via the bootloader. Works like a dream, no more slow and/or corrupted SD-card problems. |

Posted 373 days ago by Dirk Broer I can vouch that the new 64-bit Linux/ARM 1.16 app is twice as fast as the 32-bit 1.15 app was on a 64-bit platform A verification of the factor two faster under Linux was obtained when I switched my two Raspberry Pi 3 Model B's from 32-bit Raspbian Buster to 64-bit Bullseye Raspberry Pi OS. Computing times went down from 18,000 seconds to 9,000 seconds. |

Win 64 app
(Message 562)
Posted 411 days ago by Dirk Broer Nothing stops you from running a Linux Virtual Machine on your Windows 64 box, Bill. It is essentially the same approach as for Android 64 users, that have to use UserLAnd to run the 64-bit ARM app. |

New server
(Message 559)
Posted 444 days ago by Dirk Broer How is the new server holding up? We lost January 7 and halfway January 8 the credit was restored to that of January 6 and all WUs processed after January 6 declared overtime - even when they were credited before, suggesting a major database crash. |

Posted 509 days ago by Dirk Broer I can vouch that the new 64-bit Linux/ARM 1.16 app is twice as fast as the 32-bit 1.15 app was on a 64-bit platform, what do I need to do to test the 64-bit Android app? Is signing up for the project on my Android 9 running Odroid-N2+ enough? |

Posted 530 days ago by Dirk Broer There are both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 applications for Apple OS and Linux/x86, but so far the ARM application is only 32-bit and only for Linux/ARM My idea is that the project will served by a 64-bit Linux/Aarch64 application in the view of Apple's move to ARM and the rise of 64-bit SBCs (e.g. Raspberry Pi 4, Odroid-N2) Other missing platforms are Android/ARM, both 32-bit and 64-bit, and PPC (for old Macs, either OSX or Linux, both 32-bit and 64-bit). |

Posted 563 days ago by Dirk Broer I do hope that the new server is -at least- the former top model Power Mac G5, "Cypher" with four PowerPC 970MP cores, and the full 16 GB of DDR2 RAM. If you have chosen for a laptop again, make it the Apple M1 equipped MacBookPro 17.1 -also with 16 GB, but now DDR4. |

Posted 821 days ago by Dirk Broer Do you use an app_info.xml? If so, change the suffix to .bak, save and reboot -so you are running without app_info.xml. |

Project pick as FB Sprint -- NEED MORE TASKS!
(Message 500)
Posted 1026 days ago by Dirk Broer A limit of 10 WUs per system would be enough to supply my crunchers for this project, the Raspberry Pi 2's already stay below that standard. A limit of ten WUs per user would hamper me, as I have ten systems on the project, all of them quad cores-though only the six Raspberry Pi's are running WEP-M+2 constantly. What would happen if I win the lottery and buy a 64-core Threadripper and set it to run WEP-M+2? Guess I'd run into the limit then, but I am generally running 40+ projects on more capable machines, so it wouldn't bother me. |

I would suggest a limit of WUs per system, not per user. Some of us have so-called 'cruncher farms' -mine is with Raspberry Pi's. Pi 4's are quite productive. As there is no WEP-M+2 at the moment, I'm now crunching Asteroids with the PI's. The Pi 4's usually complete four WEP-M+2 WUs every 2.5 hour, that would be forty in 25 hours per Pi 4....Asteroids takes half a day -per WU- on the Pi 4, a day and a half on the Pi 3 and two days and a half on the Pi 2. |

R PI 2 app?
(Message 434)
Posted 1028 days ago by Dirk Broer rpi 2, running at 700 mhz stock 700 MHz is stock speed for the ARM11 equipped Raspberry Pi 1! There are two different models of the Raspberry Pi 2: 1. The original Raspberry Pi 2 v1.1 with a BCM2836 SOC, featuring a 32-bit ARM Cortex-A7 @900 MHz (stock) 2. The later Raspberry Pi 2 v1.2 with a BCM2837 SOC, featuring a 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 @900 MHz (stock)
