Anyone have an ETA for the GBT work? I thought I read that it would be about a month its been about that. Also was wondering if there is any news about how it went? Member of ATI GPU USERS |

Matt said ... we have tons of data from the Kepler mission arriving here any day now which will be fun to play with. in Technical news yesterday. I expect they'll need to play with it for quite some time before we get to crunch it. |

Matt said IIRC Eric has said there may have to be a new application written to crunch the GBT data, so I suspect we are several months away. ![]() |

ahh!! I am inpatient. lol I wonder if they saw anything interesting on the initial analysis. Member of ATI GPU USERS |

A very useful resource is the Berkeley SETI Blogs. Worth bookmarking as another view of what's going on. Joe |

ahh!! I am inpatient. lol They probably haven't even had the time to look at it yet. I figure by the time it gets to us you won't even notice it, of course then again we may find our celestial partners! Traveling through space at ~67,000mph! |

Matt said I wonder if that is what the new setiathome_v7 is over on SETI BETA. Member of ATI GPU USERS |

Matt said Nope, they are adding some other things into the app. ![]() |

Not trying to sound mean, but what does it matter I don't think we will notice a difference? Not to mention I'm still crunching stuff that was taken in Feb./Apr this year. Traveling through space at ~67,000mph! |

I don't expect any real work to be done on the new data until V7 has completed Beta testing and has been released in the wild. They will then need to see if it requires a separate app or can be patched into a V7b. I'd give it 6 to 12 months before we see it here. Its likely to require a long Beta test.

Its likely to require a long Beta test. it might all get done in that beta test...not sure how many WUs there will be, or how fast BETA goes through them. ![]() ![]() |

If receiver bandwidth is anything to go on then there will be as much data from one day on the GBT as a few weeks on the ALPHA. I'm not too sure that results from Beta testing would be taken as valid because the purpose of beta testing is to knock out bugs before going into production. Thus the data sets used are often repeated several times, or have particular subsets of real data where targeted investigations of the application are being made. And somewhere I saw the lab wasn't expecting to see any "production" work coming out for several MONTHS at least as first they had to get to grips with what the data looks like, how to best split it, how to best pre-process it, what was best for the cruncher application to do, how to do it, all this before coding and testing the cruncher application, the splitter application, upgrading the databases - and all the time trying to keep the current S@H servers running....

See the first post in the SETI Brainstorm thread in Science. It might give you a clue why we are not getting any GBT work. Tullio |

Then the project staff might have time to code new splitters, revised applications, etc. The Brainstorm data is just one of the 75 specific candidates they observed, after that there's scanning across the entire Kepler field, about the same amount of data as those 75 targeted observations.

We at Einstein are crunching Parkes data, finding pulsars, and also data from the Fermi gamma-ray satellite. This because the LIGO interferometers are being upgraded and the VIRGO interferometer in Italy is not giving any data to Einstein@home. This besides the Arecibo data looking for pulsars. Tullio |
