Thank you for your comments. We have added it to the main page of the project:

Could you do it again?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : ARM/ARM64 (Raspberry Pi) support (Message 2165)

I have 16 Raspberry Pi's version 5.10.103-v7l+ which are 32 bit and would like to try them on Dennis@Home. I currently get the message:"

5994 DENIS@home 23/06/2023 2:34:42 AM Message from server: This project doesn't support computers of type arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

Thanks


You might want to upgrade to kernel 6.1, even when running a 32-bit OS: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

upgrade them to 64bit raspi os!

Provided that they are equipped with a 64-bit CPU and have enough RAM
    Raspberry Pi 4, 400, CM4: Cortex-A72, good;
    Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, CM3, CM3+: Cortex-A53, less good;
    Raspberry Pi 3A+ and Zero 2: Cortex-A53, but perhaps not enough RAM (512MB for four cores) to run DENIS.


N.B.: The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B v1.2 also has a Cortex-A53.

Lesser Raspberries (with as best example the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B v1.1 have a 32-bit CPU (Cortex-A7 for the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B v1.1, others (Pi Zero, original Model B, B+) have an ARM11 so you can't run a 64-bit OS on them.

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/XmlStats:

tables.xml
This gives the total number of teams, users, and hosts. It also includes the UNIX time when the files were last generated, a list of the project's applications, and the list of badges defined by the project. For example:
<tables>

[ <credit_by_app/> ]

</tables>
host.gz
List of hosts
team.gz
List of teams

List of users
badge_user.gz
list of user badge assignments
badge_team.gz
list of team badge assignments
If the <credit_by_app/> flag is present in tables.xml, there will also be

user_work.gz
user credit, broken down by app
team_work.gz
team credit, broken down by app
The format of the various XML elements in the output files is as follows.

Notes:

<cpid> ('cross-project identifier') is a unique identifier across multiple projects. Accounts with the same email address on different projects will have the same cross-project identifier (as long as at least one computer is attached to both accounts).
All 'expavg_credit' values were computed at some point in the past (given by 'expavg_time'). To compute their current values, they must be scaled according to the RAC decay formula.
Text fields may contain XML entities. If you aren't using a real XML parser, you need to decode the entities yourself.

The following fields are of the form [x1|x2|...|xn]. Depending on the client version, only an initial subset of items may be present.

boinc_version
The BOINC client version currently running on the host. The third item is the client "brand", such as "HTC Power to Give" or "Samsung Power Sleep".
vbox_version
The version of VirtualBox installed on the client host.
coprocs
A list of GPU descriptors. The items in each one are:
The manufacturer. "CUDA" means NVIDIA, "CAL" means AMD, and "INTEL" means Intel.
The model name.
The number of GPUs.
The amount of video RAM.
The driver version.
The OpenCL version; 102 means 1.2.

Hi Bill,
All them are being exported

https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/stats/

Do you need any other type of export?

Thanks,
Jesús.

But at BOINCstats:

Last update user XML 2020-02-24 17:10:09 UTC (764 days 01:30:25 old)
Last update host XML 2020-02-23 17:10:09 UTC (765 days 01:30:25 old)
Last update team XML 2022-03-28 20:45:06 UTC (21:55:28 old)

Somehow BOINCstats seems to expect two more/other files

Dear volunteers,
These days we have been suffering problems in the database due to an update. Many information was corrupted in the process. We have recovery a backup copy but it is a bit old.
We are working to get everything working well as soon as possible.

Please, be patient and thank you in advance.

Best regards.


Next time you update, do a backup first...
In the meantime: Good luck with the restore, I hope the project hasn't lost data.

Post:
Can any of the optimizing compilers try for a ARM application? To be used with either Linux (e.g. Raspbian) and/or Android? Don't bother with the original Raspberry Pi (ARMv6), but focus on later designs using ARMv7 (32-bit) and ARMv8 (64-bit).

Any news on Android??


I am going to add an octa-core (Allwinner A80) ARM box to my farm which should be able to crunch your WUs with ease.
