Posted 14 Dec 2022 by Technik007[CZ] Post: I would like to add my thing. Few weeks ago due to electricity prices etc I decided to do not waste my 64bit arm cores for 32bit projects due to significant performance loss observed on project wanless. I cannot remember exact numbers but 32bit app was about 50% slower for same gained credit. Unfortunately with this change this project Universe@Home lost 172 64bit arm cores in favour of another ones running apps which can get maximum from my hardware. |

Posted 2 Dec 2021 by Technik007[CZ] Post: I have 15pcs NanoPi Fire3-LTS boards equipped with 64bit Octa-core Arm SoC. I run on this boards Universe, Wanless, Tngrid and LHC@home. The latter one I added recently because they created aarch64 app. Tngrid has got 64-bit ARM long time ago. So I went to Wanless and found out they added 64-bit ARM recently as-well. But to receive only 64bit tasks I had to remove armhf support from cc_config.xml. And with this change I have stopped receiving work for Universe@home. I could go back and open support for armhf apps on my boards but there is big performance penalty for Wanless project so I will not to do it. Hopefully I can run Universe@home on 2 other boards Raspberry Pi. |
