Hi,

here is an project from Indiegogo from someone how wanna build an ecology RasPi-Farm, to compute for SETI@Home.
So, if you´ll spent some money, use this link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/eco-friendly-seti-with-raspberry-pi-s

Sorry to pull the fuse on that one but the RasPi is far better suited to other things.

Far better for "eco-crunching" for s@h is to fund a GPU farm with heat-recovery equipment to do something useful with the heat from the GPUs.

Cue "Perpetual Power" computing? :-)


You will get far far more numbers crunched for your Watts using GPUs than you can ever hope to achieve with any number of a RasPi cluster. The RasPi cluster will also be badly power hungry for the network switches...


Happy fast GPU crunchin',
Martin

Who is this Phillips Brown?

An Indie entrepreneur?... ;-)

Best of luck to them but this isn't the place to ask for money. Welcome to the forums though :)

Compare with this recently released RasPi-like SOC but backed up by a very capable on-chip GPGPU:

Number crunching: NVIDIA Jetson TK1
