Updated Raspberry Pi BOINC Instructions

Just a quick one to say that I've updated the instructions at the "Raspberry Pi BOINC project" page. Have a look under the Quickstart section. It's instructions on how to attach the various BOINC projects I've provided archives for using the default BOINC client available via the Raspbian repos.

The new toy: ODROID-U2

Well I received an email from ODROID to say that my pre-ordered ODROID-U2 is now on its way. For those that aren't sure what this is, check out:

I'll be doing a bit of testing with this, including loading up BOINC. I'll probably do a mix of Android and Archlinux in my tests. I've set up a new page for it that you can see over in the Pages widget. Stay tuned...

theSkyNet POGS

It's been a while since I've posted. Been busy with school and a few other things. Sorry to anyone that's been following and wondering why I went quiet.

I have some good news. I've been crunching theSkyNet POGS data on two of my Raspberry Pi's for over a month now. Detailed statistics at:

http://allprojectstats.com/show.php?projekt=150&id=3089

http://allprojectstats.com/show.php?projekt=150&id=3481

If you're interested in loading this project up, you can download the necessary files from here:

   pogs-armv61.tar.gz

All you need to do is attach POGS like any old anonymous platform project and away you go. Send me a comment to let me know how you went - if you do give it a shot.

BOINC on Raspberry Pi git Repository

I've setup a repository that you will be able to clone to compile BOINC and some of the project applications I've been working on. It will be here:

https://github.com/dcarrion87/boinc-rpi

It's currently empty but I'm moving things over in a structured way so that it's not a big messy pile of source. Also, some of the source for these projects are absolute monsters, so I'll need to thin down what's included so the repo doesn't end up > 1GB. Most of it will just be getting the latest version and blasting away the .git directory.

SETI@Home Validated

This will be a short post.

Looks like my job got validated. Success!

Over and out...

Einstein@Home 'Binary Radio Pulsar Search' available on Pi

I've managed to get Einstein@Home BRP app compiled and running on the Raspberry Pi. It was a bit of a nightmare trying to compile as the build script that comes with the source over at http://albert.phys.uwm.edu/license.php was just way to automated for my liking. I had to hack and slash to get it compiled. I've had a look at the grav. wave search software and that seems even worse!

Need to wait for task to finish (for validation), but the application binary is available over on my project page if you want to give it a shot.

MilkyWay@home SUCCESS!

Confirming that I got a validation success for MilkyWay@Home.

Give the binary and app_info.xml a go for yourselves over on my Raspberry Pi BOINC page.

Still waiting on SETI@Home to return a result! I suspect that the task is hanging on someones task list, got canned and waiting to expire.
