Yes, Pi People are already completing tasks here. There are 2 Pi threads already, not that you aren't welcome to start a 3rd. One thread in News, one in Linux/Unix section.

There is also one here called "51.3 hours on a raspberry pi": http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=65 - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) ID: 833 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It took the PI to crunch in 80 hours, my goodness. ID: 871 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

If you mean "some tasks were done by overclocked CPUs" that do not make the results "not real" http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=7458 http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=5293 http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=9503 http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=11268 http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=10218&offset=0&show_names=0&state=4&appid= http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/hosts_user.php?userid=6590 This is ~equal in time with yours: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=7663 And this is slower than yours: http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/results.php?hostid=7322 - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) ID: 872 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

If you mean "some tasks were done by overclocked CPUs" that do not make the results "not real" Yes. An unoverclocked raspi takes roughly 3 days and an overclocked raspi 2 days to finish a wu.

The AMD cpu is more efficient than a rpi, almost by 100%. I stopped rpi crunshing. ID: 918 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Some people run them off solar panels but not me. Yes they are slow but can be over clocked by a fair margin. BOINC blog ID: 919 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yes they can be overclocked by a fair margin but even with that overclock they are still slow. Not saying don't get one, not saying don't use it for crunching. I'm getting one too and I'll probably crunch with it. ID: 920 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The main cost savings come from a cheap purchase price (the Pi only costs $35) and the low power consumption. Some people run them off solar panels but not me. Yes they are slow but can be over clocked by a fair margin. And some people run them off batteries! Just get necessary cooling and you can overclock to 2.5 Ghz without any problems. :) Happy crunching! ID: 963 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Good boy. Good boy. I bought a fan with a hefty clip from a hydroponics shop to help cool a large desktop. It is quite quiet and has two speeds. One of these would certainly move the air around a Pi. I also put 4 transparent rubber feet on the bottom panel to lift it more and to make it less likely to skate. usefulramblings ID: 1380 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
