IT-Green is a UK based computer recycling concern with plenty of spare processing power. We're running a farm of 4 Apple Macs at the moment to analyse the data from SETI. We'll be adding a couple of PIII xeon servers into the mix over the comming weeks just to boost the turn-around of results. Being a Computer recycling company certainly gives us the opportunity to get the equipment on stream and processing data. I guess it's our way of giving something back to the community.
We'll be adding more equipment into the mix for other BOINC projects around the world. The way we see it, this is a non-financial donation to existing communities around the world who require the processing power for projects but are unable to obtain the resources. As of publishing this, our company has added a further 3 dell poweredge units for seperate boinc projects, all thanks to the Companies willing to use our Computer recycling business |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| SETI at home was the first project to incorporate the processing power of other computers through the use of spare cpu clock time. It was in effect a revolution, harnessing the power from a myriad of grey boxes scattered around the world on the desks of every day people. With the advent of the internet and sufficient data speeds, SETI@home was able to combine numerous computers into a cluster, thus forming an ever increasing super computer. Whilst we would not wish to speculate about the existence of ETI, we believe the project, in itself has opened up a doorway to numerous possibilities, allowing for the production of complex mathematical models without the need for on-site-hosting of supercomputers and the predictive modelling previously the preserve of highly expensive clusters. |
