Donate Hardware to SETI@home
Along with financial contributions, we are also looking for specific hardware donations. Following is a list of items we hope to obtain in the near future.(Last updated: December 10, 2008)
| 1 | Near Time Persistency Checker compute server: At least eight 64 bit CPU cores (8 single core, 4 dual core or 2 quad core) 32-64GB RAM At least 2 root drives, >500GB disk space total (Current situation: We do not have any server slated for this purpose) |
| 2 | Web servers (for public facing sites): At least dual 32 bit CPUs (with either dual core or hyper threading) 8GB RAM (more is always better) At least 2 root drives of any modern size (Current situation: we have one web server - a single point of failure - so more is always better) |
| SATA drives: We use SATA drives almost excluseively at this point for shipping data to/from Arecibo and storing all our workunits/results/databases locally. We seem to always be in need of upgrades and spares. We prefer Seagate brand, 750GB or larger. (Current situation: have some - more is always better) |
If you have any interest in making such a donation, please send questions/comments to: donors@ssl.berkeley.edu.
