SETI@home Enhanced 5.0 Coming Soon

The beta test of the SETI@home Enhanced client (version 5.0) started recently, and if everything goes well, we may see it released publicly in a week's time.

Does anyone happen to know exactly what is "enhanced" about this new application? I can't find any information on just how 5.0 is going to be "better". Does this new application increase our chances of finding something? Is it more sensitive, do more crunching, at more frequencies??? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Seen as though the new version of Enhanched won't download it will be longer than that

Enhanched should be on 5.0 but it downloads 4.11 at the moment

Just bumping this thread to see if anyone has any more details on what the enhanced app is going to do. Basically, is the new app going to be more sensitive to potential signals or is it just crunching more frequencies at the same sensitivity, etc.

Thanks!!

And thank you to the authors of the previous replies!

Crunch-times and Deadlines in Seti_Enhanced is heavily influenced by angle-range, so for a computer using 3h10m with the "standard" v4.18-seti-application can setup a table like this:

AR - cpu-time (h) - Deadline (days)
0.11 - 12.11 - 76.39 (same for smaller angle-range)
0.12 - 12.92 - 81.48
0.15 - 14.41 - 90.86
0.20 - 16.89 - 106.48
0.225 - 18.13 - 114.29
0.226 - 56.12 - 353.79
0.25 - 49.33 - 311.00
0.30 - 39.27 - 247.62
0.35 - 32.39 - 204.22
0.40 - 27.41 - 172.82
0.41 - 26.58 - 167.57
0.42 - 25.79 - 162.60
0.43 - 25.04 - 157.89
0.44 - 24.33 - 153.41
0.45 - 23.66 - 149.16
0.46 - 23.02 - 145.12
0.47 - 22.41 - 141.27
0.48 - 21.82 - 137.60
0.49 - 21.27 - 134.10
0.50 - 20.74 - 130.76
0.55 - 18.41 - 116.07
0.60 - 16.51 - 104.11
0.65 - 14.94 - 94.20
0.70 - 13.61 - 85.86
0.75 - 12.49 - 78.77
0.80 - 11.52 - 72.66
0.85 - 10.68 - 67.36
0.90 - 9.94 - 62.72
0.95 - 9.30 - 58.62
1.00 - 8.72 - 54.98
1.05 - 8.20 - 51.72
1.10 - 7.74 - 48.80
1.13 - 7.48 - 47.19
1.14 - 4.13 - 26.04 (same for larger angle-range)

Please note, this info is based on the current estimates the Splitter is using, so your real cpu-times will very likely be different. Also, even if estimates is correct for one Angle Range, it doesn't mean isn't 2x away for another angle-range.

Great - Thanks very much!

I'm really looking forward to the new app going public now that I know it's going to be "doing more science". Also, the longer crunch times should take a lot of stress off of the servers.

Thanks again!

I have currently got one at 61% thats is after 23hrs work a couple of days to go before it will be completed as I run other projects do

I don't know if an optimised version is out as yet but im sure thats just as soon as enhanced is released over here there will be one to follown shortly so at least that would cut the crunching time.

As for deadlines at the moment they are a year which seems way too long to me, I would say 3months would be a safe bet and anyone who couldn't manage that could try an optimised app to speed up the process

I read elsewhere that Cruncher3 already is developing an optimized version for it.

Question: We will all have to logon to this site to d/l this new version? What's going to happen to most of the users and hosts out there that never ever login here?

It's my understanding that the workunits will take much longer than current ones to complete. 60 hours is probably a good rough estimate for your computer.

This is not "getting rid" of the old crunchers. The deadlines for the new WUs will be ample for most anyone to complete it in time (I've heard one year floating around). Your contributions will be exactly as helpful then as they are now.
