Subject: SETI@home News Date: 11/21/2005 5:09:53 P.M. Eastern Standard Time From: setiweb@ssl.berkeley.edu Reply To: To: CC: BCC: Sent on: Sent from the Internet (Details) ******************************************************************** SETI@home completes the switch to BOINC ---------------------------------------------------- SETI@home has completed its transition to BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing). BOINC, developed at U.C. Berkeley, is a framework for volunteer computing projects like SETI@home. Switching your computer to the new "SETI@home/BOINC" is easy. Visit http://setiathome.berkeley.edu for instructions. We'll be shutting down the "SETI@home Classic" project on December 15. The workunit totals of users and teams will be frozen at that point, and the final totals will be available on the web. Scientists at other universities are using BOINC to create volunteer computing projects in areas like molecular biology, high-energy physics, and climate change study. See http://boinc.berkeley.edu for more information. BOINC lets you donate computer time to multiple causes, divided up however you want. For example, your PC could spend 40% of its time searching for extraterrestrial life (SETI@home), 30% studying climate change (http://climateprediction.net), and 30% studying protein folding, design and docking (Rosetta@home: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/). You can run SETI@home 100% of the time if you want. But we strongly encourage you to participate in other projects. Doing so ensures that when SETI@home is down or has no work, your computer stays busy helping other researchers. Support SETI@home ---------------------------------------------------- SETI@home is increasingly reliant on individual donations. Without the support of individuals like you the project will not be able to continue. We urge all SETI@home participants to make a yearly donation to keep the project going: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/donate.php ---------------------------------------------------- Thanks again for your participation in SETI@home. The SETI@home Team http://setiathome.berkeley.edu ================================================== I just can't wait for the crush of "BIONIC" crunchers to arrive. -Mrs. anon |

I'll be taking one computer off line. I have a mac with os 9.2 and it doesn't have a boinc version to run. :-( Red Bull Air Racing Gas price by zip at Seti |

Good that they have at last set a cast iron date when classic will no longer work, save faffing about with 'sometime soon'. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |
