The July 19, 2004 SETI@home BOINC news announces that "Since the beginning of the project we have already processed 2.7 million results. For comparison, the beta project had only processed 6 million through the whole life of that project to date." This is insufficient information to support a comparison. There have been 2.7 million results processed from when to when (presumably July 19, 2004 in the latter instance)? The whole life of the beta project extended from when to when? C'mon boys and girls, inquiring minds want to know! |

I don't know how long the total beta duration was, but I ran it for six months before it went live. <a> [/url] |

> About a year and 4 months, give or take. (The elephant was born prematurely > imho) Thanks for that, "Dogbytes". I take this to mean that the beta ran about 16 months or so; in which case the 6 million results processed in that time yields an average of about 375,000 per month during the beta test phase. So, how long has the project been out of the beta test, accumulating those 2.7 million results? Isn't it just a month or two? (In which case those 2.7 million results are *really* astonishing.) Are the results comparable from beta to current version? I.e. are they comparable in terms of CPU hours, results file size, etc.? |

> Are the results comparable from beta to current version? I.e. are they > comparable in terms of CPU hours, results file size, etc.? Short anwser, yes. Workunit sizes for SAH are the same. Processing times are about the same. Although for a period of 3 or 4 months Beta had to run the SAH client in debug mode which increased the processing time by 4x. We went public on June 22nd. So we have been public just shy of a month. ----- Rom BOINC Development Team, U.C. Berkeley |

> thanks Rom for that information. Dittos, Rom. Wow! 2.7 million results in less than a month: no wonder the transitioners are kaput, the splitters are split, and the servers are bugging out. |
