Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried crunching with a Rasberry Pi 2 or 3? I know that a single one wouldn't put out a whole lot of PPDs if it evens works but, I'm wondering if it's possible and how efficient it would be from a power perspective since these boards don't use a whole lot of power in the first place. So just one might not do much but, I'm wondering what a small cluster of PIs could do if it's possible.
If no one has tried, maybe I'll get a RPi 3 just to see if it would work and if it does, maybe collect some numbers on how much it can do and how much power it took to do it. If it proves doable and feasible, maybe a small cluster of 4 or 8 of them could be a fun little proof-of-concept project.
Edit: It seems that someone already had done this. I refined my google search by adding a 3 at the end and found this: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-boinc/ I'm still curious as to how much it can do though.
