Folding Forum

Hello there!

I don't remember the last time I was on any forum but it's been years now.

I have idea in my mind to use my Raspberry Pi to management CPU and Graphic card for floding.

If someone can help me with information what is best place for start or maybe you heard about project like this and you can share link i will be realy greatfull.

You can even fold on the Pi: http://anne-emscher.net/fah/

I'm not sure what you mean by "management". If you install a desktop manager and run FAHControl on it, you can use it to remote control other folding rigs, yes. But it's not recommended to do that over the Internet, except for on a LAN or VPN, because the command protocol is un-encrypted.

The ARM client is here : https://foldingathome.org/alternative-downloads/

Note that a RPi 4 running 24/7 is the minimum requirement to make the deadline on most WUs.

Thanks for answers.
Gunnarre thanks for the tip, so Im goint to use LAN
I hope in 2-3 months Im going to give more details about project. For now its enought for me.

I recently tried using Pi 3Bs.
It was a failure.
I used the ubuntu arm64 server build along with the arm64 FAH client.
When the client gets a work unit for a new project it take the ETA as the timeout until the core logs a checkpoint.
The client estimated it should have done 3%, the cores had not logged any progress. That's the point when I pulled the plug on my Pi project.

I hope you're using more powerful Pis, good luck.
