Debian architectures supported by BOINC projects

This page gives an overview of the most popular BOINC projects and which Debian architectures they support. Supporting an architecture in this context means that a BOINC project provides an application whose platform name matches the platform name of the given architecture. The list of projects is taken from BOINCstats.com.

This table was created by supported_platforms.php which uses web RPCs (apps.php) to retrieve the list of supported platforms for the projects above. Note that this overview may not be 100% accurate because the used web RPC may not be available on all projects.

Platform names

For an explanation what a platform means in the BOINC context please read http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/BoincPlatforms. The tables below map each Debian architecture to the BOINC platform that was picked up by the configure script and that is hardcoded into the client of the specified BOINC package revision. For the curious, these platforms can be extracted from the build logs (search for "checking boinc platform..."; there is also a script to extract them automatically). Cells with a blue background indicate official BOINC platforms.
