26th of July

MarksRpiCluster continues to run a mix of Einstein and Rosetta work. The Pi4's are running Rosetta and the Pi3's are running Einstein work. The 3 x Pi4's have got up to 244,000 credits for Rosetta. They been working there since the 6th of April 2020.


More cases
I have ordered  a couple of the FLIRC cases.

The FLIRC cases are for the two support nodes, which are Pi4 2GB. At the moment they are sitting in the bottom half of an official Pi4 case with their tops off for cooling. I would prefer them fully enclosed to protect the Pi.


Replacing Pi4 4GB
I have ordered another two Pi4 8GB. I would have ordered more but they are still limiting the quantity that can be ordered. The two new ones will replace a couple of Pi4 4GB.

Rosetta recently has been sending work units that want up to 2.2GB of memory. It causes the Pi4 4GB to swap out the other tasks and that is with them limited to running 3 tasks at a time. The one Pi4 8GB that I have doesn't have this issue and is more productive as a result.


Update 30th of July
The two Pi4 8GB mentioned above arrived and are now in service. This is what the three (I already had one) look like in BOINCtasks as they run Rosetta work.
