Just got a Snapdragon X Plus Windows 11 ARM Laptop, and tested a lot of the BOINC projects.



But to start off with Folding@Home. No Adreno iGPU utilization, I can select up to the max of 8 cores concurrently, but CPU utilization is only at 50%, with the WU's running through x64, so not ARM native. If you have a fix for the 50% CPU utilization, please reply.



As for BOINC, I haven't tested all projects, cause some I already know do not have WU's currently, in general, and some are linux only.



But again, none of the projects can utilize the Adreno iGPU, nor does any project have native ARM64 support, the tasks are either x86 or x64.



Here are the results from the tested projects:




amicable numbers x64



asteroids@home, often no tasks, cause each batch is calculated very quickly, so not recommended.



einstein@home x86



LODA, gotta do some more testing, low cpu utilization



milkyway@home, between 50 and 90% utilization, only one big task, x64



moo wrapper x64



NFS@Home, website wasn't working.



numberfields@home x64



ODLK x64



ODLK1 x64



primegrid one big task x64 (Primorial PRST)



rake search x86



Ramanujan machine x64



sidock@home x64



world community grid - getting no tasks



YAFU, only 1 "4t" WU concurrently, low cpu utilization in task manager.



yoyo@home x64



If you have any questions, comments, solutions, experiences, or other relevant info, please reply and comment, and I'll try to answer questions if I can 🙂
