when we got Zilog80 app? :D
completely do not understand that idiotism. imho we must concentrating on most powerful and mass platforms. cannot imagine myself runned android boinc with already attached phone to power cord. that is MOBILE phone, and 22 hours in each day attached to charger not my vision of mobile phone usage...but maybe there nowadays irrational thinking is striked almost all.....


The idiotism is thinking that ARM devices are a waste of time when this whole project was designed to tap into the resources of the masses. ARM devices are much more efficient in regards to electricity usage for the same amount of results.

As far as using when on the charger...is it smarter to let old phones sit in a drawer unused or to put them to use doing science? I have 3 Android phones that are used only for BOINC now. (All 3 have been replaced as I and my wife have upgraded) My current phone runs while charging. At work it sits on a charger the entire time and while I sleep. That is ~16 hours of run time that I'm not really using the phone for its original designed purpose each day. I would say it is more idiotic to own it and not use it.

Since ARM is also moving to high end servers http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd-to-accelerate-2014jan28.aspx, it would be even more idiotic to not support them.

Any news on those results?

He's running an Atom CPU Z2420 @ 1.20GHz, so it's slow.

Why don't you check your preferences, and get your Core2 T5300 started on some work?

Make sure you have it on the default venue, have 'Use CPU' selected on that venue, and have SETI@home v7 selected.

It is doing work elsewhere and is one of my laptops. I plan on adding a few more VM's on some more of my hardware for testing Android x86 as a valid Linux replacement option. I am currently in the progress of restructuring my home farm.

Berkeley released Android version of BOINC 7.2.39 which now supports x86 processors. Since more devices and virtual machines may start using Android as a platform, it would be nice to have a working app.

AMD will be adding ARM processors to Opterons http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd-to-accelerate-2014jan28.aspx in servers soon that will also support 64bit. It is only a matter of time before there is a 64 bit version of Android. Many may find this as an attractive option over other Linux installs. BOINC updates much easier in Android and can do so automatically.

I currently have Android 4.2 in a VM for testing and can confirm BOINC installed just fine as intended.

My nVidia 8400GS has this problem with all drivers produced so far while crunching SETI. As a matter of fact, the only project that doesn't eventually have this problem is Collatz. I eventually chalked it up to the fan that came with the card wasn't efficient enough at cooling. I have more then enough power available to run it. So, SETI just gets my CPU work for now.

Well...I decided to re-install again. Sure enough it now works. Weird though.

I'm not starting from any remote connection. This is my primary PC. Doesn't matter if I have BOINC start during start-up or if I manually start it. No remote session is happening. I can even shut down all the remote host software including Remote desktop in Windows and it gives the exact same result. Again, this problem only started after trying to install an older version of BOINC after running the latest install for a few days. CUDA worked just fine all day until I tried reverting.

My 8400GS did this until the 190 or 191 series drivers came out for it. I still have the occasional drivers failure, but the only project that runs regularly without this for my card is Collatz. I would just keep an eye out for better drivers. Also, as mentioned previously, it may be a power issue.

Well, I'm having this problem now with my 8400GS. It started when I tried to downgrade to an older version of BOINC. (Don't like it telling me things wont finish in time when I know they can.) After many reboots, and installing different versions of BOINC including going back to the 6.10.17 version, it still says no usable GPUs found. I have the latest drivers and even tried reinstalling those a few times just in case. I do have PC anywhere and logmein software running on this system, but NEVER had any troubles until I tried downgrading BOINC. I also can no longer get BOINC to run as a service unless I run the latest version either. Never had that problem before the 6.10.X series.
