Hi, My name is Mike. Born 3/16/67 in Arcadia, CA. Spent the first 13 years of my life in South Pasadena, CA, then moved to Casper, WY in 1979. Computers are my life, and some would say they are what I am... Although I also enjoy the great outdoors (lots of than in Wyoming), working on cars, study of all sciences, and reading books (manuals, Tom Clancy, Tolkien etc.)

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Why do I run SETI@home? SETI is a project I've always believed in, strongly, even before the public at large could participate.
My Views about SETI@home? Would like to see we found something, anything, even if it's a new phenomenon out in space. But till then, I'll keep grinding these work units. However, there is slight paranoia that this is actually a tool of the NSA being used to hunt weak signals being used by enemies of the USA. But I am 95% sure that's not the case.
Suggestions? Well, with several years of audio processing under my belt, and knowing that radio is just the same thing, except higher in frequency, and in the electro-magnetic domain (not the mechanical)... I feel that re-computing the Fast Fourier Transforms for every slew rate is a phenomenal waste of CPU and energy. There should be 1 creation of a large FFT array (3 dimensional, time X freq X enegry), and then that array could be scanned much faster, and along different axi (combed if you will), for the data. You could even use fast averaging of neighboring points for broadband, and "between the points" searching.This will be VERY important as the new sources of raw data are made available soon. |
