Message 46789 - Posted: 13 Dec 2012, 21:55:15 UTC - in response to Message 46788.  

This is more of a passing interest, so, although I'm not involved in this, I found the subject title of this thread intriguing and would like to indicate that if you are looking to try SETI on an ARM, you'll need to downgrade to BOINC 6.x and similarly SETI 6.x for now.

Watch for long-line wrap for this link below....
http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_opt/2012-November/001276.html

..and I recall (I think) that there is also reference earlier in the archives about someone also using the OLPC to run SETI too, but that was also a 6.x version (I think).

If you have an interest in making SETI 7.x work, I have a feeling you may need to invest some time looking at source code for SETI to make some 7.x improvements work - this would be great for the community at large, and don't be discouraged if you find one or two things, since one or two fixes, plus someone else's one or two fixes, plus someone else's one or two fixes, eventually sums up to a complete fix. :-)

Note that SETI v_7 is still in (official) Beta testing, and subject to change before release.

SETI v_6 is all you need for running SETI on their main project for now - although that's been liable to change at short notice "real soon now" for well over a year.

(I'm eagerly awaiting the Parallella to see if its able to be used as a crunching device, but in the meantime I'd kind of like to try something else.)

Count on some sort of Crunching being available, a number of the Devs, Mods and Alpha Testers (myself included) have ordered Parallellas

Excellent news, Claggy. I'm really glad to hear this.

Note that the forum is now up and running at http://forums.parallella.org and I've requested they add a Projects > BOINC subforum.

The difference between 0 and 1 is greater than the difference between 1 and 1,000,000,000

No, it is 1 verses 999,999,999.

Things have moved on very quickly over the past few days thanks to a very clever, very determined RPi dev (Daniel AKA dcarrion87) in OZ so I thought I'd update this thread ... see http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=667&p=266556#p266556 specifically pages 3 & 4 for more details.

My RPi overclocked to 900mhz is also simultaneously crunching a more meaty MW@H task ... 46% after 67 hours!!!

HTH, Ray

My RPi @ 900mhz has now crunched 399 BOINC OProject tasks consecutively, successully (9,848 BOINC credits if that means anything) since 22 Jan 2013. Or +/- 1,000 BOINC credits per day via OProject and more from other tasks ...

Thanks Daniel ... http://burdeview.blogspot.co.uk/p/raspberry-pi-boinc-project-ive-created.html

Liz / Eben ... Hello! Make this News (again, I ask.)
Make this sticky.
Make any kind of reply.
Anywhere ...

1 million+ RPis can do 1,000 valuable scientific tasks

every day.

DUH!

BOINC v7.0.27 is in the repo. No special version needed . It works just fine.

As for SETI version Richard has already answered they. The 6.03 is available thans to Daniel Carrion and can be installed via an app_info file. It's all available if you follow his instructions.
