1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Running on Fedora ARM (Message 1846946)

Hi.

I have 3 RPI 2's and an i.MX6 Sabre QP laying around. So I felt like to exploit them into crunching rather than to leave rotting in the storage rack. I burnt Fedora 24 ARM minimal image on all of them and installed boinc client by dnf command(dnf install boinc-client).
Boinc started as usual and I was able to set up the project without any problem. But then, as soon as the client tried to fetch wu's, this line happened:
Fri 03 Feb 2017 17:34:38 KST | SETI@home | Message from server: This project doesn't support computers of type armv7hl-pc-linux-gnu

I knew SETI supports ARM because I ran it on my Android device for a while. After some research, I found this thread. Here's the cc_config.xml I made for my tiny machines:
<cc_config>
	<options>
		<alt_platform>arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf</alt_platform>
	</options>
</cc_config>

With this config, the ARM machines are able to fetch wu's from the server. They're running them for 3 days now. Problem is, they're painfully slow than I'd remembered. They take more than 1 day to finish single wu. Is this normal? I have an Android device(LG G Pro) and it didn't take that long if I recall correctly.
This page shows there are several more ARM arch's than just one. Are my machines slow because they don't use the adequate app? If it is the case, what alt_platform value should I use?

Hi

I often use RDP and BOINC is always on when i log in with RDP.
but few minutes later i logged in, the all CUDA tasks stops(GPU missing)
I've searched and found that Windows terminates nvidia driver and runs its own driver which customised to RDP. hence, GPU's missing.

I get the point. but is there any way to get it back on?
I've tried some tricks: logging off from RDP terminal and restarting with manager. Didn't work, guessing that CUDA driver revives when logging on with Console.

How can i revive this driver?

5) Questions and Answers : Windows : system crash after 7 updgrade (related to CUDA) (Message 1059093)

Post:
Put both CPU core into the task haven't got any problems. but when CUDA task is running, system crashes with BSoD within few minutes.
in the past version of OS(Vista) worked very fine and nicely.
What is wrong with this computer?
I've installed Lunatics optimize before I get the first normal tasks. Should I take this off and get some normal task?

I've been though this problem before. at that time, I solved by installing CUDA developer driver.
This time doesn't work at all.

After issues about workunit shortage, I haven't reported a single CUDA task. I'm in need of someone's help.

//following sentences are my system info

OS: MS win7 ultimate 64bit
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E7400
RAM: 4GB (DDR2 2GB x 2)
