Post: Thanks for this update! Hopefully after the conclusion of this study there will be some sort of improved version of seti@home that uses updated apps and searching techniques using what you've learned from these results. |

Post: Is it normal for an Astropulse task to take 100,000 seconds on a Ryzen 2200g CPU? Do you think it will validate? Its currently pending validation, its wingman task errored out, and its been sent to a 3rd person. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=8472925582 Task name: ap_22ja20aa_B2_P1_00251_20200125_08653.wu_2 Task ID: 8472925582 Workunit 3852399301 |

Post: I read it today, and it was pretty interesting. They did bring up some good points. I've noticed myself that there are two main groups here on the forums: "Hardware Hackers" and "Space Buffs". The "Hardware Hackers" seem to best represent the "Number Crunching" forum. "Space Buffs" probably follow the "News" and "Seti@home science" forums. A lot of the article seemed to be based on very early forum posts and profiles with terms like "Pentium" etc. I still liked it, as it gave a good perspective on the varied audience of these forums. |

Getting the most Seti cpu production out of your Amd 7 2600/2700 cpu

Post: https://www.newegg.com/asrock-fatal1ty-x470-gaming-k4/p/N82E16813157836?Item=N82E16813157836 The listing says Ryzen 3000 ready. Does this still need a BIOS update or will it work out of the box? I'd like to buy it along with a 3900x CPU but don't have an older CPU to upgrade the bios. |

Post: I like your new threadripper setup! I'm curious to see how the TR1950x, TR2950x, and upcoming R9 3950x 16 core CPUs all compare to each other for BOINC tasks. I plant to build a new PC, and would like to know which would be the best for the money. (total cost of building, power efficiency, etc). |

Post: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewDownloadAgain.action You can still download BOINC from world community grid. You can then click "add project" and select Seti. It works, I just tried it. |

Real time number crunching?
(Message 1975402)
Posted 16 Jan 2019 by lunkerlander
Post: Thousands! According to the "About SETI@home tab", aren't workunits made up of 107 second tasks, that overlap slightly? Here's a quote: SETI@home looks at 2.5 MHz of data, centered at 1420 MHz. This is still too broad a spectrum to send to you for analysis, so we break this spectrum space up into 256 pieces, each 10 kHz wide (more like 9766 Hz, but we'll simplify the numbers to make calculations easier to see). This is done with a software program called the "splitter". These 10 kHz pieces are now more manageable in size. To record signals up to 10 KHz you have to record the bits at 20,000 bits per second (kbps). (This is called the Nyquist frequency.) We send you about 107 seconds of this 10 kHz (20kbps) data. 100 seconds times 20,000 bits equals 2,000,000 bits, or about 0.25 megabyte given that there are 8 bits per byte. Again, we call this 0.25 megabyte chunk a "work-unit." We also send you lots of additional info about the work-unit, so the total comes out to about 340 kbytes of data. |

Post: If I had credit card debt, I wouldn't even think about buying anything for SETI at home like the 1070ti's until you paid off the debt. Then, I would save up enough money to have an emergency fund for unseen expenses. I'm not trying to put anyone down. Just saying my own opinion. |

Post: Yes, I have a 50% error rate with my AMD astropulse tasks. I finally stopped doing astropulse tasks to not ruin the results data in case my wingman also had the same issue. |

SETI@home v8.22 Windows GPU applications support thread
(Message 1972242)
Posted 28 Dec 2018 by lunkerlander
Post: I do want to point out that I'm getting a lot of invalid Astropulse v7 results (approximately 50%) on both CPU and ATI GPU. I'm not overclocking anything and temperatures are good. This has been ongoing, even before I entered the new commandline. The regular v8 8.00 CPU and 8.20 ATI GPU tasks are nearly 100% valid. |
