#1 Yet another daft idea: ARM-wrestling challenge

I would like to raise awareness for ARM-crunching by ways or organizing a BOINC challenge solely for ARM crunchers -Linux and/or Android-, if such a thing can be done.
I would also like to stimulate the development ARM-based GPU apps -you should try to find out how many GFLOPS the GPU of that mobile phone you're holding is capable of...
What are your opinions?

Contact an admin or developer for a project that supports ARM and see if they can provide a stats export for just ARM systems and see if BoincStats can setup a Team Challenge using that ARM stats export. Start with the project first. If BoincStats can't or won't work with it maybe someone else will.

@ ARM-wrestling
The only way I could think of to do a challenge like that would be to have all participants attach to the same account so that each machine was visible to the adjudicators. For example, create a new account & only give out the weak key to attach to it when the challenge starts. How about WCG and join that new account to Sawyer's Cancer Fight team if that is still on the go ???

And those of us that are "ARM-less" can watch from the sidelines..

One way to do it is require participants to make their computers visible on the project. Then the host data extract could be used to identify the host as an ARM computer and only count credits from the ARM hosts.
