Good morning to all members of this forum, and good year to everyone. I created my team in order to make it the biggest team working on the project only with Android devices. Right now I have 6 octacore smartphones working 24/7 for the project. The next personal goal is to have 100 cores working uninterruptedly for the project. Join my team.

If you can get eight instances of the Africa Rainfall Project running on your telephone, I'll buy you a drink.

The OP was the same under OPN. That was feasible. It is not with ARP!

If you can get eight instances of the Africa Rainfall Project running on your telephone, I'll buy you a drink. That would be a neat trick.  Running two might be barely doable on a Cortex-A72 (Pi 4/400-class), but otherwise, if you were to try to run ARP on ARM, you'd want a server-class chip or Apple Silicon. But for small tasks that can fit in-cache, the Pi 400 is a shockingly good crunch-per-watt contender.ARP is already a stretch for older x86 systems, as I can see from watching my old laptop i7s slogging through the bigger ARP units and sometimes turning them in past deadline even though they run 24/7. I'm surprised I haven't seen a "Too Late" yet, but I'm sure it'll happen. |
