I will admit that I have had a rough day. So just researching stuff, and I see this after an hour or two of surfing the interweebs..


Just confirmation that our worlds that we are involved with are all overwhelmed? Software should save us!?

New SOCs are slow to materialize. COVID slows all?

DENIS@home enabled a Linux-on-ARM64 version of the "DENIS-myocyte" application. It's a beta test for now, therefore you need to say yes to "Run test applications?" in DENIS@home preferences in order to receive this application, and work for it. Memory footprint is small on Linux-on-x68-64, so I guess that memory is not a concern on ARM64 either.

Choosing BOINC projects

Here is a shell command which quickly shows which projects offer applications for Linux on ARM or/and on ARM64:
Code: 
links -width 512 -dump 'https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php' | grep 'Linux on ARM' | cut -c-30

Listing ARM and ARM64 projects separately would require some more involved HTML parsing. This is what I gathered manually from this page via a GUI web browser:
...Amicable Numbers...........ARM64 multicore
...Asteroids@home..............ARM, ARM64
...DENIS@Home...................ARM64
...Einstein@home.................ARM, ARM64
...iThena................................ARM, ARM64
...LHC@home.......................ARM64
...LODA..................................ARM64
...Minecraft@Home.............ARM64
...Radioactive@Home..........ARM
...RakeSearch........................ARM
...Rosetta@home..................ARM64
...SIDock@home...................ARM
...Universe@Home................ARM, ARM64
...World Community Grid.....ARM
...Yoyo@home.......................ARM, ARM64

Notes:
  • "iThena" means the "iThena Measurements" NCI project. The CPU intensive "iThena Computation" project does not have an ARM application.
  • Radioactive@Home offers application versions on "armv5tel running Linux 2.6", "Debian Wheezy running on Raspberry Pi (armv6l)", "Raspbian running on Raspberry Pi (armv6l)", "Linux running on Mipsel", "Linux running on A20-OLinuXino", alongside Windows x86-32 and Linux x86-32.
  • SIDock@home split their "CurieMarieDock 0.2.0" into a "long tasks" application (for Windows x86-64, Linux x86-64, and Linux ARM) and a "short tasks" application (for Linux ARM). They recommend to switch ARM hosts with small cores to the "short tasks" application. This one is fed workunits which contain 1/5th of a "long tasks" workunit.
 
Ah right. TN-Grid deliberately stays out of boinc.berkeley.edu's curated list of project URLs, which is why I didn't catch this one.

...TN-Grid................................ARM, ARM64
 
I forgot my own post #80. The little command in there also shows BOINC Central now, which is inactive though.

Someone did a test vs 4b and post at E@H. Their blog has Asteroids comparison as well.

Hi everyone!

Speaking of crunching on ARM, I did a test how well does the new Pi 5 crunch E@H in comparison to the previous model.

TL;DR: The Pi 5 is roughly 30-50% faster than Pi 4b.

For more than one sentence, check out my blog post, hope you will find it interesting:

What an outstanding thread! Every question I had was answered in the next couple posts, page or links. Only thing now as mentioned with the Pi-5 us what's the best bang for the buck bundling them all together in a mount or take advantage of lower prices on the 4.
