    Well they have a fair pile of data that has been crunched, now its time for them to concentrate on reporting on and analyzing the crunched data vs spending a lot of time feeding our computing habit. I do wonder how much un-analyzed data remains to be crunched...

    I've been working on this project for a LONG time. Too bad that its ending now, I was working on getting into second place on the team. For a year or two I didn't really make sure that my machines were running SETI like they should have, so Gyro77 got by me. Geordie_Cos380 always had more computing power to bear than I could bring, but in the early days of the project, Geordie and I were neck and neck for daily output. Good times.

    RIP SETI, guess I'll move onto another project, but SETI will always be one of the coolest projects ever.

    67,738,815 units for me.

    SETI said they are out of work units for DC crunching. Now that we have distilled all that down it needs to be analyzed by different means. They may end up with a new client to handle this next level of analysis, but for now they're doing it themselves. Different approach to analysis apparently. Until they collect more raw data, this part of the work is done.

    I jumped over to Folding@home. It felt good to join in the SETI project, but now is the time for working on a project with more immediate real-world relevance.

    Well, for those who are still around... its finally done. Dr. Anderson has determined that there are intractable problems with the data analysis that go all the way back to the experimental design. There were to be two papers, one on the front-end and one on the back-end analysis and results, but they won't be written. Reading between the lines, it appears the other researchers have decided its no longer a good use of their time to continue. You can read about it on the Seti@Home forums, particularly the Nebula board.

    The good news is that the project was the impetus for the creation of BOINC, so at least a platform for distributed computing was created that's still in use by 30+ projects today.

    Yeah SETI@home was pretty cool. I had somewhat recently joined Ars to build a 450 MHz Celeron/BH6 system and then started computing units with the Ars team. I made it to something like 25k units and had a finalist signal. Learned a lot about systems in the process. Good times.

    I was obsessed with it at one point, according to Copilot since the stats site is down, i had 38 million units, but i am not sure that is correct.

    There were two eras - Seti Classic and Seti Boinc. FreeDC's stats for the latter are still working. I forgot where the classic stats got archived. I thought I had screenshotted me, but I can't find that either.
