News from the Odroid-C front: a new Odroid-C5 has been released! Not more cores and more Watts/24h, but faster cores with less Watts!

Now that Raspberry Pi.org have their own successor to the Raspberry Pi CM4 (right) with the Raspberry Pi CM5 (left), I'd like to review some of the rest of the 'click-em-on compute module' field. https://i.postimg.cc/qtp9y40Y/Raspberry-Pi-CM5-vs-Raspberry-Pi-CM4.webp Most of them (approx. 10 out of ...

I looked you up (and several of your other boinc instances, e.g. Cruncher Pete) and it looks like you started a 5th WuProp badge, the bronze star being in fact your 21st star:

Now, that's sure a nice set of badges...

Yes, I'm well into middle age, 65 at the moment. According to my MD it's a mere infection (phew), my urine was examined and put on a petri dish to seen if it is caused by a bacteria or not. If not, than I have to 'thank' the Zoledronic acid infuse I got to enhance the Calcium in my bones. At the aca...

Just a few weeks after I discovered this thread, looking for a sign of life from Alez, I have to go to the doctor for the same problem..
My blockage was intentional: I was vasectomized 25 years ago. Looks like ball left has come alive again and can't find a way out.

If you want Arch performance and a GUI, you either install the desktop you like in Arch, or you try Manjaro -and choose your desktop there.

Almost five years later, so all the more reason to continue my evaluation of BOINC under Android. In theory BOINC supports the following eight(!) platforms under Android (a BOINC platform is the AB combination of A. a hardware architecture running under B. an OS) arm-android-linux-gnu (=Android runn...

Two years (actually slightly more than one) further again: a purple badge for NFS's 14e Lattice Sieve!

May the biggest Prime win!

Calculations above will have to be adjusted for Q=5100M. Anyone here has the ability to create a 7 days challenge at the boinstats page? Megacruncher, as team founder, should have that ability.

The competition doesn't rest on its RK3588 laurels! In case you are still hesitating between buying a RK3588 board (superior performance in raw GFLOPS and GFLOPS/Watt) or a Raspberry Pi 5 (superior hardware and software support) here's a new choice: the duodeca-core (12-core) Radxa Orion O6 , World'...

Either Nvidia reads this forum (unlikely), or their marketing department has at least one genius: they brought out a new, uprated Jetson Orin Nano kit at half the price of the original, for a 'mere' $249 -but you get real power here. Now for a BOINC project that uses the GPU in ARM apps.... see http...

With the advent of the Apple M4 Mac Mini, crunching on Apple hardware has been made a very attractive alternative to x86 crunching. The M4 Mac mini is not all that expensive to purchase (cheapest model is 699 Euro's over here), runs cheap (A tdp of a mere 31 to 39.6 Watt, depending on the scenario),...

Too bad that Nvidia has fallen into the same trap that SolidRun did some ten years ago, when they copied the form factor of the original Raspberry Pi but instead of the single-core ARM11 that powered the Raspberry gave you the choice of either a single-, dual-, or quad-core Cortex-A9 in their CuBoxe...

I do not think that AI enhanced crunching would/should do anything in the direction of artificial self-awareness or artificial volition. I was more thinking of pre-processing data, or analyzing video fragments -like the bird videos that wildlife@Home (later Citizen Science Grid) did. Perhaps Seti@Ho...

At the moment added AI capacity in any form is just a waste of money and budget, but that might change in the future. Me personally I think that AI-enhanced crunching is the new ASIC -it is just that none of the projects yet seem to be able to get an app for any NPU, TPU or you-name-it-PU. And when ...

Whereas the original single-core ARM11 Raspberry Pi Compute Module was, in my eyes, a complete dud and I never saw the use -BOINC-wise- of owning one, this changed with the introduction of the Turing Pi at the end of the economical life of the original Raspberry Pi Compute Module's form factor, by t...

I am just back from the Deventer Book Fair, an had closed down the x86-64 part of my fleet in order to save on my power bill.

In the end I bought two AM4 boards and one AM5 board. The AM4 boards (an Asrock A320M-HDV for the A12-9800E and an Asrock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac for the 2400G) are there for the CPUs that were pushed out of their mobo's in favour of better CPUs/APUs.
