Boinc - to help science

[Andrew2]

I'm guessing Boinc is very resource-intensive?

Sure, on Pine64 and on any other ARMv8 board it's important compile the programs since some algorithms are 20 times slower when not being compiled for ARMv8:

Code:

   export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=armv8-a -mtune=cortex-a53"
   export CFLAGS="-O3 -march=armv8-a -mtune=cortex-a53"

Then the board gets as hot as with optimised settings but is still slow as hell. Have a look at the commonly used sysbench: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=19158
