I am not certain if they are shipping them yet.  Plus we might need an app compiled for ARC under Windows to get any decent production.

If I am understanding it right this is complete workup getting to a desktop ARM experience.

My impression is there are no ARM/Nvidia GPU applications?

And the ARM CPU apps are not running O3 data?

Keith has an Arm/Nvidia app

Keith has an Arm/Nvidia app that he runs on his Jetson Nanos. for the BRP4/G apps. it's not official and is anonymous platform only, like our other special apps. hypothetically, they could also be compiled for Arm/Nvidia. there's just little reason to since you can probably count the number of people with such a platform contributing to Einstein on one hand.

I got that there was no demand for Arm/Nvidia apps.

As long as x86 CPU's dominate consumer windows desktops I expect boinc apps to trend that way too.
