Everything’s distilled into a single, self-starting download. The Fold for Covid site makes it sound easy. With a certain amount of self-satisfaction in having Rosetta jobs running on the Pi, let’s take a look at the long and winding road to success. But many of the jobs are resource intensive for this little computer that costs around $65. The Rosetta jobs are finally running (and completing) on the Raspberry Pi 4.
Basically, a switch needs to be flipped to make BOINC (designed for 32-bit processing) work on the 64-bit Pi 4 (a requirement for the jobs). Nothing was working.įinally, after persistent digging (and some long walks in the “real” world), I found this one last - and crucial - step, as documented on Marks Rpi Cluster.

and some other jobs run without a problem, but was throwing an error: "This project doesn't support computers of type arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf." I set aside this MicroSD card and took a scenic journey down the web, through all sorts of misinformation, forums and what-have-yous in search of a workable solution for the Pi, including attempts to install the Ubuntu operating system. When selecting the project in BOINC, a warning message appears that says jobs might not be compatible with the device. Also, multiple computers can be tracked together in a project account dashboard.Īt this point, I found Rosetta still getting derailed. That way, progress can be tracked for individual credit and certification. Within BOINC, add the project and create a free account. Then, boot upthe Pi and use the Raspbian system tools to install BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing). The best route is to first download and install on a MicroSD card the Raspbian operating system (NOOBS). It took a while to find the right combination to unlock the power of the Pi 4 for protein folding. NOOBS (New Out Of the Box Software) install of the Raspbian operating system.

The Fold for Covid project sums it up: it’s an opportunity to join a distributed computing network that provides computing resources to scientists trying to crack the COVID-19 code and - through data crunching on a massive scale - find ways to combat the virus. But there’s another aspect that’s taken me on quite a detour through distributed computing, the world of BOINC and right into the thick of protein modeling as part of the fight against COVID-19. My Raspberry Pi robotics experiment has been an eye-opening look at all sorts of DIY IoT possibilities. Little did I know it at the time I ordered a Raspberry Pi 4, but I became part of the wave of surging interest in the tiny computer during this bizarre period of the world sheltering in place.
