People are already crunching on Odroid-Arm and Ri-II, just needs the right OS (Android

Yes, I know for Android. But I would like to know for more "traditional" OS like Debian.

---------------------------------------- . Considering the android share out of a billion+ is maybe 25,000, you can compute the percent and then apply that to your device choice with Linux and ponder on if adding another support set of science application is worth the bother, with a limited personnel resource to do the development and maintenance.Advocate of  [Edit 1 times, last edit by SekeRob* at Jul 1, 2017 12:38:15 PM] |

BTW, chicken and egg question, do the work first and then see if it attracts enough volunteers, or check the connect numbers of the various unsupported devices and see if there is enough traction to start thinking about an app build for the platform. Install BOINC, add WCG, keep it running and the traffic numbers have a start. Have never looked at BOINCStats for Linux on Arm data, but think it can be extracted for BOINC worldwide.

Hi SekeRob,
----------------------------------------good try! The problem is - for example for me - that I am not willing to move RPi-devices to Android and I only participate to WCG. My RPi/ARM devices would never appear in the statistic you mention. At the same time, I have several RPi ready for supporting WCG ... using Raspbian. I think that having RPi support - at least for some few projects - would be very fine and useful. If WCG sciences do not start to move on for supporting Raspbian, the risk is high that members will enrol their RPi in other projects. The consequence could be that the members will notice that WCG is less granting than some other projects, and finally, those members will leave WCG. Cheers, Yves |
