Back again

Marks Rpi Cluster is back to running 24/7. Due to hot weather and my refusal to use air conditioning the farm had a holiday. The farm is currently doing Einstein@home BRP4 work with a few nodes running Asteroids@home. The Asteroids work units have recently been taking up to 10 and a half hours so I don't run many of them.

Recently Raspberry Pi OS got updated to the 6.1 Linux kernel. The 6.1 kernel was declared a long term support version and Debian are looking at their Bookworm release soon. Bookworm is using the 6.1 kernel. I presume this is so the Raspberry Pi foundation can quickly release Raspberry Pi OS based off Debian Bookworm. At the moment Raspberry Pi OS is based off Debian Bullseye.

The cluster is comprised of a pair of BitScope Edge Cluster12's with 12 x Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) nodes in each providing the compute capability. There are also 3 x Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB) support nodes.
