Pi 2 - Projects?

Post by UBT - Chris »

Hi all,

Thanks to chriscambridge, I now have an RPi 2 Model B waiting to be set up on BOINC :D (waiting on an HDMI cable then will have it up and running :) ).

I was wondering - apart from the 'obvious' projects (WUProp, Goofy, any other NCI projects) - which projects should I put on it? For this, I mean which crunch the most points and which would help UBT out the most?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi both,

Steve: You beat me to it...I was going to suggest this:

But Dirks listing looks easier to understand ;-)

regards (and thanks for your input)

Got it on Goofy, WUProp and also SETI :) When crunched, this will be my first EVER SETI unit! :O Thought I'd done at least 1 by now...

If anyone wants to track the Pi (for whatever reason), here you go:

https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/host ... 391684d845

It also has SETI running on it, but the WUs each take a couple of days... Wonder what it pays though? :think: :)

SETI pays terrible, and that's on GPUs.. :(

Ohh :( I couldn't find any other project that crunched at a half decent rate... I might leave it to do the SETI it has then change project then...

CSG SubsetSum used to pay pretty well on ARM systems but that sub-project is not active any more. I just use mine to tally up WUProp hours. There are even some apps that only run on ARM systems, Einstein and Albert I think and Collatz micro.

Thanks, Scole :)

When you say 'tally', what do you mean by this? Just run projects to get some more hours? And I think Collatz has an app but it was estimating ~15-20 days/job and I didn't want to risk the Pi deciding to turn off after say 10 days and having all of that work wasted!

Yes, run projects to get more WUProp hours. And I pointed out a few projects that have apps which only run on ARM systems. Collatz has the Micro Collatz Conjecture app which only takes 5-15 hours depending the model ARM system.

This is a Pi Model B (not the Pi 2 Model B, I don't think...). I'll have a proper look at collatz as soon as this SETI WU has finished :)
