Since I'm not on my computer a lot I have the Seti@home software running on my little Dell and I process work units from the Aricibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. It's run in Berkely with almost 4 million volunteers. I am going to be the one to find ET.

Anybody else here doing it?:shrug: :scratch: :shrug:

Just aman :cool2:

I'm running it also... but I keep turning it off and on, that combined with the 25 hour per unit time i've only completed 2 :/

I used to on my old machine, whats the URL to download the software again?

It's at http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

I've cranked 60 WUs with my snail Dell with close to 1200 hours so I'm at about 20 hours each.

The best part about it is I joined a group called Skyzdalimit.

They are so friendly and have an incredible amount of tech expertise. I've asked some dumb questions and get an answer to any computer problem within a day by several experts.

I'd recommend you join this group if you sign up for the WU's.

It's worth it just for that.

Just aman:cool2: :cool2:

Is it skyzdalimit.com or what?

If You register with Seti@home you'll get hit with a bunch of e-mails trying to recruit you. Skzdalimit is the best. I'll be right back with the site. It's http://www.skzdalimit.com/seti/

Just aman

Aman, you're doing a great job as a recruiter, but I have to say he did some advertising for this site on Skzdalimit. I've found a few good threads to read in only a few minutes here.

Hey Aman,

 

I've processed a few work units but I'm not very serious though.

I got my new computer in October and completely forgot to install SETI@home despite this new machine being powerful enough to really churn out the data.

 

I installed it yesterday and it's munching through those blocks!

 

Yum yum, space signals.

18 hours per work unit while computer in use.

 

Hmmm... wonder how long when it's not doing anything else.

I have completed 58 Units with just over 5,000 hrs of total CPU time. I only run it as a screen saver.

hrm. we need a SF group

I believe its been running on my father's computer non-stop for about two years. I'm rather unsure of how many data packets thats been through and what not, but two years has to count for something. Although, i did have it running myself for quite a while, i just decided i needed that extra bandwith for other things.

It only uses bandwidth when it transmits its results home and requests a new work unit. That's about 1 minute out of a day, on average.

It's running on every single computer in the UM comp sci building, completed something like 50,000 WUs.

I'm running a program checking ligands fits for cancer drug targetting. It doesn't look as nice as seti but i think its more justifiable.

Folding@Home... I run that sometimes too.

I don't run those (@home) programs because I don't know what i'm processing for sure.

 

What I mean is with the appropriated transformations in the source data they could probably let us analyse a lot of different things.

 

Maybe we are even analysing our own (the population) security risk.

hahahahahaha
