The new Odroid-N2 looks promising: 6 cores drawing less than 6 watts, can be configured for both Linux and Android.

Never tried it though. I wish it would, I would swap my xu4s over to Linux so I could run more options of workunits. |

Odroid has Android image. But check if they have for specific model. I run Android on the 8 core version.

As ARM processors are becoming more and more cost efficient, there are more and more volunteers who want to contribute, and projects that need work done, both are missing out. ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Glen David Short at Apr 9, 2019 5:06:39 PM] |

For those that don't know, a handy list of all BOINC projects and supported platforms is available at: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php. Quite a few projects with work for Linux/ARM boards, but I agree with others that it would be great to have that capability at WCG. Especially as an efficient way to crunch the upcoming climate change projects.

This video reviewer waxes fanatical about the Odroid N2, he says (at around the 1 minute 28 second mark) that the Odroid "compared to an X86 pc this uses around ten times less power while it is half as fast" . I interpret that to mean it uses 10% of the pc power to achieve 50% of the work. Or, two Odroid N2s would do the same work as an x86 while using only 20% of the electrical power. One drawback is it does not have native wifi. Another, as noted above, no Linux support yet at WCG, only android. At 13mins 45 he says "this is very close to a desktop computer" - 6 cores (4 @ 1.8Ghz & 2 @ 1.9Ghz) all at a max power load of only 5.5 watts.
