| Personal background |
Subteam compartment involves persons and systems at compartment AB, a Swedish webhosting company.
Mainly computers that run Boinc/Seti operate on Linux*, Unix**, and other platforms***.
Boinc/Seti also works great as a quick benchmarking tool to test through a system and see how it behaves under heavy CPU load.
* Linuxdistributions such as our own distro: C-mentLinux as well as Fedora, Xubuntu, Linux Mint and others.. Distros will probably continue to vary over time.
** Unixes such as FreeBSD and derivates of FreeBSD such as PC-BSD.
*** And other platforms such as various versions of MS. Notable is that XP SP2 is extremely much faster and more reliable when emulated under Unix (seems like approx 4 times faster) than the "real thing" (!).
Earlier in the project we have also used other hardware such as MAC and SUN computers as well as Intel-machines (running solaris, OpenBSD. Mostly Intel CPU:s are/have been used.
Team compartment @ SETI is a member of Team Colliander. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
1. It's fun and easy to participate in something so important and fascinating.
2. Interesting, very important to learn more about our universe.
3. The use of the same platform with as little problems as possible for the end systems is important - the switch from the old system scared us and others away from the project for many years but now we're back again with the new boinc software. |
