i''m sad so going back to number crunching..

Heating broke at work so i'm leaving 28 cores @ 2.4ghz and 6 8800 running overnight to keep the room warm. Who said seti never had a noticable use

between my home pc work server (running 14 hours a and weekends) and 14 work pcs i have alot trying to get work done. i've turn them all to doing some roseta when seti will not give me work units when i ask first time. Trying every 12 hours or so.

I understand that seti is losing alot of cpu time but whast the point of there cpu time if they can not get anything back because millions of people are hitting the servers 20 times a second trying.


I currently have a waiting on seti :)

2.8ghz Xeon (8 cores)
2.4ghz (4 cores)
2.4ghz (4 core) (8800 GPU) x6pc
2ghz (1 core) x8pc


the point i'm making here is when seti was setup i had a 1.8ghz cpu. there was no GPU and no multicore's

seti is now trying to handle 1000x more traffic and its showing. I'd love to be able to help more put i'm broke. Will donate some money in a month or so.


Recommend though. How many Astropulse work units are there. I knwo they are small but take longer to process. Can you try and send more then them out. If you do then the systems with them running will not try and hit the server for a day or so to report/request another.

what i did notice is the project requests work units and fails after 2-3kb downloaded and waits. each of them requests has a extra bit of traffic. so to get a work unit its about 100 requests not one.

Does anyone at seti know what the limiting factor is is it the Bandwidth. CPU, ram or hdd space?

might be able to offer afew ideas if I knew that :)

best thing i can recommend to help seti recover is this.

Everyone that runs more then just seti...
1) Disable seti for a week and run on another project full time.
2) once seti is back up to full you can disable your other projects and tun setup full time to even out your numbers.

This this help the server load while still maintaining the same project radio.

If 50% of users are running more then just seti this would help the seti project recover. But all remember to come back
