not exactly...'cause smart phones only crunch when they are hooked up on electricity...get your facts straight! not exactly...'cause smart phones only crunch depending to their settings in the boinc client (native boinc). I have mine crunching always down to a specified battery level or if it's corded.  |

I have mine crunching always down to a specified battery level or if it's corded. I am not looking to discourage you. Just thinking a dedicated Arm Linux port could start to pull is some reasonable numbers. Hard to say if it would be more or less than android. I have a RPI 2 now and am thinking about buying a couple of more for small projects. I would be happy to run it if available. |

To be honest I believe that the most participants here are using their devices - independent from the kind of device (Android, Linux, MacOS, Windows) - 24/7. The original idea behing boinc was: Using spare cycles.
----------------------------------------Sure battery life will be decrease by running 24/7. But a replacement part like a battery for a few bucks I don't waste a second for thinking about that. With a smartphone you have a big advantage compared to pc or other corded devices: You have an UPS. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Eric_Kaiser at Apr 4, 2015 9:45:08 AM] |

What do you plan to crunch on RPi2?

No opinion wanted to share such as 'My Cube is better than your RPi2', for those that have one, here a new Linux based release that runs on it... RaspEx http://www.techworm.net/2015/05/run-debian-8-...rry-pi-2-with-raspex.html

then you are like a woman...need a RPi2, but don't know what for!
----------------------------------------men buy only what they need...even if it's a little bit expensive!  & so far no RPi is available for WUs on WCG or SETi@home (those are my primary projects)...so, don't need it! |

[OT], Either KliK is sexist or he's serious confused as here it's men wanting the toys and gadgets and collect them in a drawer
 [/OT]This Raspberry thread at the BOINC forums is for the interested... running tasks with success on Raspberry OS e.g.: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9964#60109 |
