UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all,

Thanks to chriscambridge, I now have an RPi 2 Model B waiting to be set up on BOINC (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 Chris,

If it's any help, this is what I've had running on my Pi3, its overclocked to 1.3GHz Will

We have a list here...

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)
Tim

Thanks all

Will set up Pi and get some on there now

Chris

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...

Chris

Well done, its great to see you put it to good use.

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

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

Chris

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...

Chris

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
