I've run BOINC for many years and have done LHC@Home since '09 (on X86_64). Are there any plans to support ARM v7 (armhf) and v8 (aarm64) processors for running LHC@Home.

I have 5 - RPI 3B's, 1 - UDOO, 1 - Odroid C1 and a Pine64 that I can dedicate to the LHC@Home processing.

I'm wondering this as well, this project was listed to have Raspberry Pi support but my Pi 3 Model B cluster has received no work in the two weeks since I added some of them to the project.

At this time only SIXTRACKTEST supports ARM. For more information see: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=4296

It runs just fine on a Jetson Nano. Haven't gotten around to testing the RPi yet. Sometimes, it only runs on a single CPU, sometimes on all 4. I'm guessing there aren't a lot of jobs for the ARM available. Right now, it's only doing one task.

Be advised, tasks take many hours to finish generally. But with the Nano only sucking down 10 watts, have no problem leaving it on 24/7/365. :)

I have tried running LHC@HOME at RPI 3B and almost no work at all. I can't understand why it happened. In my other ARM platform like Orange pi 4B and RPI 4B,it works prefect. So maybe the A53 core is too weak to run the program?Sorry to my broken English.

Running well on Ampere Altra cores. Arm ISA 8.2. Could do with some more work units to keep 64 or more cores happy :-)

Sixtrack doesn't have work all the time.
Between the batches there are droughts going from weeks to months.
