![]() There is already 64-bit native Linux version of the Folding Home software.Īlthough the latest version (v. ![]() I already know that there is no way of assigning each project to a specific processor on each Pi, but it sure would be nice if there was some way of accomplishing such a thing and some of the other projects apart from SETI and Folding sound interesting. Now that we have the very affordable Raspberry Pi with us (the mere suggestion of a credit card-sized computer for $35 like the Raspberry Pi / Banana Pi / Arduino and such like would have no doubt been laughed off back in 1998 - 2002 as such technology didn't exist back then), I am considering setting up a SETI / BOINC cluster using 8 - 32 (or 64) Pis running SETI Home on processor 1 of each Pi, Folding Home on processor 2 of each Pi (each Pi being quad-core, overclocked to 1 GHz) and two other projects (which I will choose out of the several projects currently running at the moment) on processors 3/4 on each Pi. I have no idea how many work units I completed for both projects through the old account. ![]() ![]() It's a great concept and had me looking into it earlier this year, but unfortunately it's only suited for very specific scientific or practical purposes.Although my account information may show that I am completely new to BOINC since Monday 22nd February 2016 (today), I am actually not completely new to BOINC.įrom round about 1998 to 2002 or so, while I was at university and using a 1 GHz uniprocessor Pentium I at the time (I am now using a 2.60 GHz Intel Core i7 with 17.3" 1920 x 1080 screen and nVidia GeForce GTX-980M and I do not currently have any BOINC project plus the Folding Home project clients installed and set up on the laptop), I participated in both the SETI Home andįolding Home distributed computing projects, using an old account which I no longer have the login details to so it probablly will be now dormant (probably since 2002) and so I have had to set up a new account this morning using my current email. I run a few, and my media pi runs at 100% cpu when it's transcoding for media playback. The PIs (while amazing little boxes) wouldn't be great, processing power wise. Typically these setups are for very specific purposes. Even if you did get this working in your own Beowulf cluster there would be no noticeable gains as far as BOINC goes. Unfortunately, BOINC is already it's own cluster with all the work being distributed to consumer PCs, and sent back to the project's central server. I looked into a similar idea about a year ago as I work for educational establishments that throw PCs out like there's no tomorrow. Typically all the work is distributed by one central computer to all the others for processing, and the results are fed back to the central one for storage/analysis. I think what you're looking at making is a 'Beowulf cluster'. Thanks for all your help, and sorry about any grammar mistakes or typos, its really late and I just wanted to get an idea out before I forgot it. I'm not afraid of learning a new language and then having to write pieces I need, but obviously don't want to reinvent the wheel (write something that has already been written). I have no programming experience past HTML, CSS, JavaScript and very little Rails. Has something like this been done? I was looking at the University of South Hampton supercomputer which is what gave me this idea, and I've enjoyed my time spent in the community. ![]() My project plan, at least as of now, would be to setup a cluster of RPis (exact number unknown) and have the cluster compute task, use something such as Serf to monitor/perform other necessary task, past this i have no idea what else is necessary. I recently bought 2 raspberry pis and set them up to be a media server and automation chat bot thanks to the awesome people at github and hubot, but I'm looking to do something a little bigger, maybe a lot bigger, but I'm unsure of where to start, or if its even feasible. Hello /r/raspberry_pi I've been wating the RPi community for quite sometime but never had any free time to grab mine own and do some tinkering. The best thing? The base model is only $20 $5!.ĭo you know a related subreddit? We'd love to know. Welcome to /r/raspberry_pi, a subreddit for discussing the raspberry pi credit card sized, ARM powered computer, and the glorious things we can do with it. Pi project ideas: There's a huge list right here on this sub! Friendly reminder: Please don't just post pictures of unused pis - do a project!Ĭomplete r/raspberry_pi Rules Check the FAQ and Helpdesk here ![]()
