Folding@Home ARM64 Linux Beta Release for COVID-19 Vaccine Research

A few months ago, we reported that Rosetta@Home supported 64-bit Arm SBC's and Servers in the Fight against COVID-19. But Folding@home did not support Arm hardware just yet, but thanks to work from Neocortix, Linaro, Arm, miniNodes, and Packet.com, we now get support for Folding@home on ARM64 meaning you can help researchers studying SARS-CoV-2 virus and help them develop a COVID-19 vaccine with Raspberry Pi 3/4 boards, or other 64-bit Arm SBC's and servers.

    I count buffer/cache as part of RAM usage, especially since usage + cache exceeding the limit can push it into using swap on a microSD card. Which I've done at least several times.

    Have top and htop open in the background. What looks like 1200 MB RAM usage might be more like 2200 MB (me right now), and so on.

    Reminder that using a 32-bit OS on an 8 GiB Pi4 is legit, since the OS can use all of that memory, with up to 3 GiB per process. Just add more browser tabs. I have 9 just for all of the Intel Architecture Day 2020 stories that I need to combine. RIP.
