I am a Cybernetics Student at Reading University. My hobbies include chomping WUs, drinking and LEGO.
I'm running BOINC on my main computer: a 2.66GHz P4 running XP with 512 Ram
I'm still running Seti@Home Classic on my other computer (A 1GHZ T-bird) to run out my queue.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run Seti@Home because I think its one of few Distributed Computing Projects thats worthwhile and is a benefit to everyone... (I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about...)
The project is a really good idea, as is BOINC however....
Suggestion: BRING BACK A QUEUE/DRIVER/SPY STYLE SETUP AS WITH SETI@HOME CLASSIC!!! Its unfair to expect everyone who donates processors to these projects to have them all LAN'd or 'net enabled. With queue/driver/spy we could distribute WUs around to stand alone PCs or processors and get more results returned. Not having this style arrangement is shooting yourselves in your own foot!!! Help us to help you!!!
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
