![]() While 2020 isn’t a good year, I definitely benefit a lot and hoping to put to a good use to find my next career. Really basic stuffs like learning to code for Arduino Over time, I learnt some bash, use git, contributed some improvements to BOINC project and other open source projects, learn to compile stuff on-device with gcc / clang, fixing build system problems, use docker, etc. Looking at Termux which allows running custom code that you can compile on-device, this wow’ed me and I can pretty much starting protyping right away. Contributing to the official BOINC app requires Java and I have no knowledge whatsoever and difficulty in learning Java. The full source code and sample test appli- cations of RT-BOINC (including Chess and the game of. Learning that computers can connect togethers to become “supercomputers”.Īlthough there’s an official Android BOINC app, it’s pretty restrictive (not allowing running custom code) and it doesn’t always work in newer phones. time volunteer computing platform called RT-BOINC 7. There is a version of the BOINC manager available for both Linux and Windows. The manager can connect to BOINC clients running on the same or different computers. I learnt about the powerful Termux app from Bryan Lunduke’s talks and the World Community Grid (WCG) efforts to make solutions for the you-know-what, similar to There’s also this BOINC software that allows WCG to distribute tasks, which pretty much an intro to distribution systems for me. The BOINC manager is a graphic user interface that provides the ability to control a BOINC client and all of its functions. So you can say I have to relearn everything despite early attempts to learning to code in my childhood with poor hardware. Since then, I tried to upskill myself with free Coursera courses to learn all about Computer Science and IT which was rarely explored in my selection of course in my university. Since graduated in September 2020 with a degree in E&E, I am having troubles finding jobs due to you-know-what. It’s currently lacking on both BOINC Android app and desktop BOINC client so I guess that’s a higher-level feature that can be worked on by the official devs. It monitors the battery level and temperature device and sets the BOINC client compute settings whether to increase compute throughput (adding more available CPU cores) or to run / suspend all BOINC activities. ![]() You can get the code (and some findings) at It’s possible to modify it for Linode to handle server use-cases, but I probably started to late already As both programing languages are designed for platform independency, the source code written can be used for all main target platforms of the BOINC platform.
