More and more, people are using low-power machines like the Raspberry Pi to build routers, automate their homes, and crunch for humanity through BOINC.
This is a simple collection of articles I've found that demonstrate methods of achieving the last example.

My recomendation is to run Tn-Grid or Universe@home. These are the apps that work the best on any arm-linux-gnu configuration . (and are not GPU apps, which cuts the efficiency a lot)

Universe@home on my Odroid XU4 fulltime gets between 13-14k RAC, which translates to 1,14GRC a day.
Not too bad for such a tiny system

I have been running universe@home as well on my Odroid. Now that there are no WUs, i tried TN-Grid as well, but didn't receive any WUs. Is there something I have to take care of?

I think I've read somewhere that BOINC is not optimized to run on RasPi cluster. Do you know anything about it?

I dont know anything, but at the very least is just pointless, you are using grid computing, no point of running them as a cluster. Specially when you can just leave them unattended.

Boinc isn't optimize to run on any High performance Cluster. It is made to run on single proc/core per work/job.
