Cracked the 1 million on seti@home

bartman (Bart) · #1 05-08-2010, 12:04 PM

Just want to say I cracked the 1 million units on Seti@home in my Team -atomicmpc- on the 2nd of August.

Anybody else got similar results??????

BTW do we have a team here on IIS?
spose I should do a search....

Bartman
Sorry I'm just stoked to get this far......
It's a nothing post really I guess.....

Errr, Bart, what is Seti@home

Heya Leon,
SETI is the Search for ExTraterrestrial Intelligence.
" radio SETI, uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology. " quote from Seti website.
Basically the Boinc client uses the unused CPU cycles ( when the puter is idle / or not) to process data from Arecebo radio telescope ( and other I believe) to help find Alien life communications.
Boinc can also use your puter for other computer intensive tasks such as finding a cure for cancer or help with dissecting the info from CERN to find the Higgs-Boson(?) particle ....anybody correct me if I'm wrong.
Many other worth while projects are available.
Its like a massive computer linked by all the people that have joined a project.

Leon here are three links to get you up to date.
And join for that mater...
If IIS has a team let us know.....

Hi Bartman,

I'm in the ATOMICMPC team as well, just ahead of you

Maybe we should break off & start an IIS team.

bartman (Bart) · #5 05-08-2010, 08:53 PM

I'm all for that!!!!!!
GRRRRRRR 'just by thaaat much'
I've allways wondered who the other atomicans are...especially the ones that are close to my ranking!
Great to see you are also a fellow atomican and astronomer!

So how do we go about getting this up n running?
Shouldn't be hard....after all we are atomicastrologers!!!!! hehehehe

I think we should at least try....... the amount of puters out there in the IIS community!!!!! 7 1/2 thousand + subscribers.

Mike are you OK with this?

Let me know!
Bartman

Although I'm still part of the team, unfortunately its been some time since I purchased one of their mags, or checked out the website, so this seems as good a reason as any to change teams.

It's easy to create a team, it can be done HERE

I've got ~720000 on Seti@home, ~530000 on World Community Grid, ~193000 on Einstein@Home and ~95000 on climateprediction.net

It would be growing faster, but the quad core box makes the study too hot in summer to use more than two CPUs. Suppose I could crank it up for winter.

There is an IceInSpace team for Einstein@Home

Hey, I used to participate in SETI@home when it first came out quite a few years ago. Since reading this thread I have just installed it again but it has been displaying an error msg "No work available to process" since yesterday arvo. Anyone know what the problem might be ?

higginsdj · #9 06-08-2010, 11:15 AM

I share my load across multiple astronomy related projects. Only 640k at Seti, but more than 1.5m on the others. (Einstien, Milky Way, Cosmology....)

Cheers

Craig,
They are trying to focus on science & infrastructure management at the moment, so they are shutting down the project for 3 days a week (Tue-Fri). It will be available again tomorrow, just make sure your client caches a few days worth of work.

austinstkong (Austin) · #11 06-08-2010, 03:27 PM

Wow, you guys have so many units. How how have you guys been going for?

I have 1.2k for SETI@home and 5k einstein@home. Only started about 2 months ago.

PS: A team for IIS would be nice.

joshhagger (Josh) · #12 06-08-2010, 03:45 PM

According to may account page, I've been signed up since September 2001, but I think that was when they moved to the new system, I began processing when they were using their Seti Classic system, where I racked up 4807 hours.

TrevorW · #13 06-08-2010, 03:49 PM

all this after 10 years and they still haven't found anything

austinstkong (Austin) · #14 06-08-2010, 04:18 PM

Wow, 10 years. Long time...

And to not finding anything yet, well universe is kind of a BIG place.

bartman (Bart) · #15 06-08-2010, 08:42 PM

I 've been member since march 2004.....
And I have a few computers linked to my account too.
I might have a look at starting up a team next week or so.

Ah...that makes sense now, thanks for that. I thought I'd done something wrong, which is often typically the case. It's working away nicely now.

Morepower (Craig) · #17 09-08-2010, 09:43 AM

Hey all, I'm probably getting excited over nothing but my SETI@home has detected what looks like a strong tripple pulse, power is 10.88. It's been showing up in the bar graph for 30mins now. Anyone seen this before ?

joshhagger (Josh) · #18 14-08-2010, 12:14 PM

It seems meliux has already created an IceInSpace team.
Meliux, if you are around, when did you create that?
Anyway, I just joined it
