Pi4's running Einstein BRP4 work. Pi3's running Einstein BRP4 over the weekend
Other news
I had the Altra going for a couple of hours so it did 156 work units in that time. It is rather noisy so I don't run it for long periods.
No work from Rosetta@home (unless I want to run their Python Project - Which I don't) so the Ryzen 5900X machines stayed off.

Switch upgrade
I got a couple of new 2.5GbE switches. They are Dlink X106XT switches. They have a single 10GbE port and 5 x 2.5GbE ports. They are an un-managed switch but one can prioritize a particular 2.5G port via a switch on the back. It has an annoying LED strip on the front. Unfortunately one can't turn it off but can have it display a white colour instead of the RGB. The 10GbE port is intended to be used as an uplink port so you can integrate them within a 10G network and get the best performance.
I had a QNAP 5 port 2.5GbE switch but the Dlink should be able to push the network speed a bit more. I've removed the QNAP switch. My compute nodes all have 2.5GbE network cards installed.
Other news
I had the Altra running for an hour or so today. It only takes an hour to do Einstein BRP4 work units, so I let it run for a bit and churn out 78 work units. It has an Ampere Altra 80 core (ARMv8) CPU running at 3GHz. I keep two cores available for other tasks.
Rosetta@home is out of work at the moment so no point running the Ryzen 5900X machines.
