#103 Re: Raspberry Pi
It is almost a year later now and the field has changed yet again. Contenders have come and gone.
Biggest game-changer was the bringing out at the almost same time of a 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS and a new 8 GB model of the Pi. On top of that there came more heavy-duty cooling solutions, like shown here
Contender Hardkernel first brought out a 4 GB Odroid-C4, basically a Cortex-A55 equipped improvement of their Cortex-A53 C2 with more (DDR4) RAM, but at the very speed that originally was intended for the C2: 2000 MHz.
The C4, like the C2 and the C1 can be used in open casings that fit the Raspberry, like this
Secondly, Hardkernel brought out an improved version of its Odroid-N2, the Odroid-N2+ where the maximum CPU clock of the Quad-core Cortex-A73 is increased to 2400 Mhz (from 1800 Mhz) and the maximum CPU clock of the Dual-core Cortex-A53 is increased to 2000 Mhz (from 1900 Mhz). The on-board RTC backup battery pin-out is now replaced by a battery holder mounted on the board. The heatsink is not as high as the original and has provision to mount a fan underneath -as had the old N2, but the N2+ needs the fan to maintain the higher speeds. The fan's stand-off screws bring the N2+ up to normal height. We now await a 8 GB model of the N2+.....
Where's the rest of the field? Banana Pi's M4 model already fell short last year and they really should bring out their Banana Pi M5 pretty soon now.
Most of the other contenders seem to have put their money on the Rockchip RK3399, which is sometimes -misleadingly- advertised as an "overclocked Cortex-A72" six-core. It *IS* a six-core chip, but in LITTLE.big format, LITTLE being here four Cortex-A53 cores, and big two Cortex-A72s cores.
You can get RK3399 boards from Rock Pi -the Rock Pi 4 (in three main versions)-, Orange Pi -the Orange Pi 4B being the most interesting model-, Nano Pi - the NanoPi M4B- and loads of other, less known companies.
There is a RK3399Pro as well, with embedded neural processing unit (NPU) delivering up to 3 TOPS for AI acceleration. RockPi has one, the RockPi N10. It is rumoured to outperform the quad-core Cortex-A57 nVidia Jetson Nano in some AI-tasks....though the software you can download at nVidia for the Jetson Nano (the JetPack and Deepstream SDKs) might suit a project like MLC much better. MLC needs to bring out an ARM app though to make use of it.

Raspberry cooling-wise there has been a nice article on en.itcooky.com, where the two 52Pi solutions outperform the rest by a considerable margin.

but this is the winner:
Results were close though especially at stock speed (1500 MHz), but at 2000 MHz the 'low ice tower' -let's call it 'ice-shield'- is definitely more effective.

In case you are running a 64-bit OS on a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 (preferably the latter and 4GB or 8GB in that case), following commands will install the 32-bit libs needed to run most BOINC apps:
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:armhf libstdc++6:armhf
Code: Select all
<cc_config>
<options>
<alt_platform>arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>

Not so bummer after all: Gumstix Introduces CM4 to CM3 Adapter, Carrier Boards for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 They even let you choose between a Pi CM4 Uprev & UprevAI CM3 adapter board.Dirk Broer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 12:42 pmLike this: heatsink, compute module, 260 pin DIMM connector. Briljant!
Now, would seven of those 260 pin DIMM connectors fit in the original Turing Pi? No, that had a 200 pin connector interface. Bummer....
The AI version also has a Google Coral accelerator module
Note however this remark by Jeff Geerling in his review of the Turing Pi 1 "The CPU is ... constrained by the fact that the Compute Module is clocked at a maximum of 1.2 GHz. And that's not a limitation of the Turing Pi, it's because the DIMM connection can't provide enough power using the Compute Module's current design to support faster clock speeds."
This might let you decide to go for the Turing Pi 2 when using the compute module 4 (CM4). If you already have a running Turing Pi 1 it is a nice experiment though...

Introducing my new machine : Rosetta Stone, because the plan is to add to it until it weighs 14lbs & run Rosetta
20 pi4 8Gb machines. One serves as a network boot server / NFS server for all the others so no fiddly SD cards or USB sticks.
Server has one 128Gb SSD on USB3. No boinc on that guy
Clients have no media whatsoever.
three 8-port hubs
trays are free from local mushroom wholesaler
End result is 80 cores (76 set-and-forget on Rosetta), 160Gb RAM. Total power draw is only 145W

It is a fair bit of RAM which will suit Rosetta 64bit and the big WCG project (Open Pandemics?). Overclocked to 2GHz - not monsters but would maybe give an old Xeon a good race.

#118 Re: Raspberry Pi
This would take five Turing Pi 2's and but one 8-port switch, as a 5-port switch would be one port short.
It would take three Turing Pi 1's (with 21 CM4 to CM3 adapters, or just plain 21 CM3's) - but a 4-port switch would already be enough.
And that is all without consideration for the network boot server / NFS server module. You'll need another Turing Pi 2 to get a decent amount of cores dedicated to crunching:
6x (4-1) = 18
The Turing Pi 1 would do: 3x (7-1) = 18 too, but the CM3 is limited to 1200MHz -and I don't know if the same applies for the CM4 to CM3 adapter.
Cooling-wise you'll have to look out for a bitcoin miner that wants to get rid of a 6x 120mm bitcoin rack casing because the increased power consumption of the newest video cards needs him/her to look out for bigger cases and dito fans/radiators.

Rosetta works differently from other projects. You set the run-time yourself in project preferences and you get paid based on how much work it gets through.
So far, it has to be said, I am a bit underwhelmed by the points earned. The jury is still out but I might try Africa Rainfall on WCG to see how that goes

I think I've sussed it. Rosetta WU read from a huge input file so are putting a heavy burden on file system reads. A pi4 booted from SD card or USB3 stick will die - my 76 WU using a network file system puts a huge load on the NFS server and also saturates the network.
This could even be why some of my main crunchers struggle under a full load of Rosetta
Run from an SSD and limit WU count, I think

#142 Re: Raspberry Pi
Though the answer by DavidBAM is not wrong, it is not complete either.
The proper way to overclock a Pi4 is
Step 1: Update the firmware
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt update --fix-missing
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt install rpi-eeprom
Code: Select all
$ sudo rpi-eeprom-update
Code: Select all
$ sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a
$ sudo reboot
Step 2. Set the overvoltage, and set CPU and GPU speeds
$ sudo nano /boot/config.txt
# Add these lines:
over_voltage = 6
arm_freq = 2000
gpu_freq = 750
# Ctrl+X, Y, Enter to save the session
$ sudo reboot
See this article if you want to push it to 2147 MHz
The best overclocking results can be obtained with the 8GB SBC, the Pi400 and the 8GB CM4s, as the rumours go -up to 2300 MHz, i've read....

My pi farm.
One is the boot server for all the others so a single 256Gb SSD is shared. The clients have no media whatsoever. The boot requires its own dedicated LAN and DHCP server so that's a £20 48-port switch underneath it all. I do plan to add a USB3 stick for DATA only on instances b1 and up so that when they die (and they do when acting as Linux boot devices) all I do is mount another one. Clients talk to the outside world over WLAN

#144 Re: Raspberry Pi
I am in the midst a reorganization of my ARM department (they will go to the other side of my man cave, to spread the heat emission). As soon as I am finished I'll take some pictures. May have to buy a better webcam -or use my phone. My setup differs wildly from that of DavidBAM, I can promise you. More variety in ARM boards and their OS-es, and a different approach as to how to run and administer them too, involving much SD-cards, eMMC disks, network switches, various casings, more extreme cooling solutions, etc.
