Heck, since both are doing the same WUs now, one of us (classic or Boinc), is wasting CPU cycle from yesterday until it closes. Bringing them over now will help science, continuing classic will not.

After cut off - Will they still accepted outstanding cached units? Or should everyone start clearing their cached units prior to the cut off date?


News from SETI@Home/BOINC:
The old SETI@home Classic project will stop issuing work on December 15

News from SETI@Home "classic":
On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, this project will shut down.
...
At the time of shutdown, the stats for this project will be frozen but will continue to be available on the web.



Meaning, even in the off-chance you can upload after shutdown there wouldn't be a point in doing this, since the results will not be used for science or crediting.

The only reason I can see for anyone staying with Classic now, is if they are withing a handfull of WUs of a personal milestone or Certificate. And then only if they're 100% sure of getting it well before Dec 15th.

Otherwise, change over now, Clsaaic useres are doning nothing but wasting CPU cycles.
Also, I guess that the more that change over the next days/weeks will spread the load on the BOINC servers.

They plan to stop downloads on the 15th. See the threads News: Merge Classic data to Seti-BOINC DB, and Classic "scheduled" to close Dec 15th and pay special attention to posts by developer "Matt Lebofsky". Matt says now that the science of both have been merged, that both Boinc and Classic are crunching the EXACT same wus, and that the work by Classic is redundant. my own feeling is that i'd be asking my people to do the switch as soon as caches drain.

Cut off date for Classic, or Boinc?


Sorry I should of been more clear - For Classic. One of our team members was asking and I did not have an answer for him.

As I recall, it was mentioned previously that after cutoff there would be a short period to allow the outstanding units to be returned - not a lot of time though ...
