Got few SETI mails to rejoin this year.. Then finally come back and project is more time down or without WU than crunching. Is this outage near or problems will continue? What was happening during 2014 - more problems or running smooth? I remember that in past I left because of constant problems. Maybe it is time for final goodbye as I really do not have time to constantly watch is this is ON or OFF. And I want to run SETI, not something back-up :(

Currently there is a database problem that's being worked on. For the major part of 2014 the system ran with no problems. A server is currently being built to replace one that was failing. Read the "technical" message board for particulars.

I'm sure that we will start getting new WU's before midsummer 2015, or at the very latest December 2015...

Until then, at least we have the message board, so we can whine and complain :-)

That goes on when we have work as well. So everything will be the same as normal!

Some though with very low RAC, will lose the ability to post pretty soon. Some of those I will miss, some I will not miss so much :-)

it's going to get very quiet Stern around here me thinks too :) naughty boy!

Looking at the other routers it is campus wide. No stats for anything from that time forward.

They ran out of coloured ink again, refill time. :-D

Cheers.

I'm beginning to wonder whether there really is no work. I understand that a server needs to be rebuilt and that building a server is harder than building a personal machine but if I had been persistent I could have gotten several machines up and running by now. Just wondering, when work returns I will be loyal to SETI but I'm thinking I might want to look at what else is out there interesting to crunch.

---

This is why we need a second seti project from a different source unattached to Berkeley looking for different signals/signs of intelligence.

(...)
Now that you say it, I realize that it's true. So, the only real difference is that we're having lower RAC than when we had WU's to crunch.
(...)

Well, no, my (overall) RAC is significantly raising...

...although this has absolutely nothing to do with Seti at all! >;)

[edit] Added: (overall) ;)

Aloha, Uli

but I'm thinking I might want to look at what else is out there interesting to crunch.

Yes ... I've been looking around since AP is all reported and MB only has 59 to go.

I've played with 5 other projects some GPU some CPU only.

Collatz conjecture will give me 15,689.89 CS for 4795 GPU sec's
Malaria control will give me 58.83 CS for 5320 CPU sec's

but it's all fun ..

When MB and AP get rolling again ... I'm here and all the hardware I've got!

Three things happened recently:

- The server named bruno developed problems and had to be replaced. That transition appears to be largely complete, though a few of the functions it formerly did have not yet been reactivated.

- All the multibeam recorded data from the Arecibo ALFA receiver system through October 1 2014 has been split and processed by SETI@home v7. In the 54 days since, the scheduled usage of the ALFA receiver system looks like about 161 hours. If that less than 3 Terabytes of data were shipped to Berkeley it might provide about 5 days of active crunching with SETI@home v7 (maybe more if enough top hosts have been rededicated to other projects).

- The Astropulse science database reached a limit so could not accept additional data. Rebuilding the database with revised limits is taking a long time, but not because of hardware. When that is completed, there are 1573 channels of data waiting to be split and the project has a large amount of other data which has not been split for Astropulse.

                                                                  Joe

Crunching that made me feel stupid.

I use to do that as another GPU backup project, just so as to not put to much strain on my other GPU backup project, but now that they want me to upgrade my BOINC version to a much later 1 they got the flick.

Cheers.

Thanks, Josef W. Segur, that info was helpful.

Then why dont you see if the Seti institue has any to send? Oh waite they dont have any funds to operate either.

James, I was referring to SKA, ASKAP or UKSRN which would all appear to be capable of doing such. As to the liquidity of the Seti Institute, that is a different issue. BTW, no need to be snotty.

It'll be a while before the SKA project produces anything for us, or anyone else, to process.

What you can do is sign up for TheSkynet pogs. This is the test project for getting acquainted with distributed computing with data from the Pan-STARRS1 telescope. It is my backup project. Although they had for 3 years of data and they just added new galaxy's to process as they did run out a few days ago.

As I am running boinc as it is origionally set up, to use idle processing power(except for my teams annual stampede) I don't get to upset if there is no work. My computers are not running any more or less and I only have these two projects attached at the moment. Is there no work than the computer has a day off.
