It slows down crunching:-( Not by a lot, but slow down it does.. No, you weren't the one that made the claim that it would screw up crunching. Cliff did in Message 1661073. It's not a big deal though. It was just an idea. On some setups an increase in cpu usage will cause a slow down in gpu crunching. Sure. But if you want to display the graphics, you need to make a decision on which is more important to you. Me? I'm totally willing to give up crunching power for some eye candy. Eye candy often makes other people ask questions and generates interest. I started crunching SETI@home only because I saw a co-worker running the screen saver on his machine back in 2001. I probably would have never known about this project without the eye candy. To each their own I suppose. Again, it was just an idea. |

Hi OzzFan,
Ahh, so desu:-) That's the trouble with a English as a common language:-) It provides so many meanings for the same word.
Nay prob's as the scots would say:-) Cheers, Cliff, Been there, Done that, Still no damm T shirt! |

Hi I joined this project in 1999 and have left several times and came back several times obviously. I just built my first computer and installed a decent GPU. I heard about where SETI made good use of GPU's and decided to rejoin. The number of work units compared to 1999 and now that can be done almost seems to follow Moores law. I do more in an hour now than I did in a week when I started. Anyways the reason I posted is the transmission visual page is awesome. It really shows how global this project is and how much information is sent and received. I am awed by whoever thought this up and coded it. Just plain awesome. I would think that a real time page of this would be super useful. You could actually visualize when SETI was slowing down uploads. Maybe even give MB's & AP's a different color. I know how crunchers love AP's and seeing them being delivered would be huge. Again Thanks. I am proud be again be a part of this project and hope to get more active and involved in keeping the momentum strong. Bob --------- Still pondering an awesome sig file Sometimes I wonder, what happened to all the people I gave directions to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SETI@home classic workunits 4,321 SETI@home classic CPU time 22,169 hours |

The industrialized countries send most data, I have noticed that too. Africa, Russia and Canada are as good as blank. Most of Canada's population is in a strip about 100 miles wide on the coasts and along the US border, and if you watch for long enough, you see tasks and results coming from those areas. There are large areas of the US that don't register many data transfers, either. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

What would be nice to see on the map is .... Data set starting at 18:00 UTC. That should be an easy add. Just so everyone knows if its current or not. |

...Matt's caption says it all: during a 5 minute period within the last 24 hours And looking at the data flow as I type I'd say it certainly within the last 24 hours.... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Visualisation would look better with Mac users included... how come we're not getting any work units at the moment? |

It is in this post from Matt Lebofsky http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=76852&postid=1662650#1662650 Looks like the Science DB is fubared for a bit, they are working on fix now. Hopefully by the end of the day they get it up & running again. Lots of Crunchers are having to move to other projects in the meantime. Bob -------------- Still working on an awesome sig |

Missed that -- thanks for the link. May switch to climateprediction.net until things are sorted... Wouldn't want the office getting cold ;-) |

I used to have a link to a screen that showed the SETI communications line utilization in graphic form. I had a computer crash and lost that link. Can someone post it please? thanks |
