Does anybody have any idea whether Seti@home will have the capacity to process the all of new data coming in from the Green Bank Telescope and the Parkes Observatory in addition to the data from the Areceibo Observatory?

Regarding how often old stuff was re- and re- and re- and reanalyzed (Just see how we're now crunching data from Arecibo from 2010 the ?. time), i would assume, the fresh data will be a very welcome job variation! ;)

Ironic, as NVidia devices aren't getting any Breakthrough Listen data currently. Hope we are allowed to change that soon.

Processing capacity only exceeded how quickly new data was received from Areceibo somewhat recently. I want to say in the past year or two... maybe three.

Given the nature of the research it isn't required to have it completed as soon as computationally possible. If there was a 5 year backlog of data sets I don't think anyone would be to worried. Other than where to store all that data while it waits to be processed.

Original recordings should be kept even after processing.
For few different reasons.

They seem to have some kind of archive for the data sets. Isn't that were they pull the old data sets from when we do some reprocessing?

I have actually wondered how they store all that data, It would require a fairly large space of climate controlled storage to accommodate all that data.

And no water sprinklers please, go Haylon.
