1) Message boards : Number crunching : Arm compute nodes ready to join (Message 4331)

I didn't come up with this, but I remebered that it was posted some time ago:

To get work with aarch64 you need in /etc/boinc-client/cc_config.xml a alternate platform string.

<options>
<alt_platform><span class="mark">arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</span></alt_platform>
</options>

Hope that helps,

You'll need to install the 32-bit ARM architecture on your 64-bit Debian ARM systems before installing BOINC.

Remove BOINC first (keep the settings files when/if asked).

Install the 32-bit architecture and update the system:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf && sudo apt-get update


install BOINC and 32-bit libstdc++6 package, BOINC is then installed with all files needed to run 32-bit and 64-bit WUs (I only install the client on my ARM64 machines):
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install boinc-client libstdc++6:armhf


The BOINC file I edit is in a different location on the Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian ARM machines I use:
/var/lib/boinc-client/cc_config.xml


I use a slightly different entry in that file:
  <options>
    <alt_platform>arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>
  </options>

2) Message boards : Number crunching : ~10x normal daily credit in a few hours!! (Message 4168)

Hi,

5 hours into today's crunching and I've got 2 million credits, about 10x my computers' usual maximum daily capability!

I have the usual spread of "In Progress/Validation Pending/Valid" tasks with the 1000(ish) valid tasks going back to beginning of April each having 1000 credits...

What's going on?

Jon
