I would also love if WCG would include at least one or two projects for Raspberry. The 3rd version is actually pretty powerful for the cost of electricity. I have already bought 3 that are crunching for Universe@home 24/7 and am surprised that they are doing a decent amount of calculations.
----------------------------------------I agree with KerSamson that if support is developed for RPi it would be more efficient that android, even if its only for latest version. I would definitely by another 3 to support WCG projects if support for it ever came to pass. It is much easier to buy and set up a RPi then another server/laptop/desktop in my opinion.  |

vlado101, Raspberry's are similar to other ARM/Android devices in electrical efficiency.

What a shame RPi is not supported. Off to find something else. Bah humbug IBM.

The problem is primarily not at IBM's side but at the science side. The science must be compiled for the arm RPi platform.
