Crunching just can't be any better than with this computer of mine. State of the art, and as modern as you can get.

Computer 4883653

All tasks for computer 4883653

Just think a RTX5700 host will probably chew through 3,000 tasks, making them all "noise bombs" in the time that speedy veteran completes one task.

Nice one Grumpy :-)

Cats are good people.

Yes, they are. We are currently servants to a couple of 6 year olds.

Ditto.

This talk about cats brought The Kittyman to mind.
Any news about him?

We haven't heard from him in since September. He seems to be taking a break from the forums and the project.

I hope it's just a break from the project and not a break from life.....

Mr. Kevvy did a search a while back in the social media and news and found no signs of a obit. Hope that is still the case.

While I can't be certain, I did a lot of follow-up offline and this does not seem to be the case. Everything I could find indicates that he just left the project quietly for an undetermined time (as so many others have.)
Edit: Keith kinda beat me to it. I also followed up through other resources. I don't want to be too specific as I don't want him to be bothered as it appears he left of his own volition for personal reasons.

Your friend needs to make acquaintances at your local pet shelter and bring home some new feline friends.

Sadly, he has a hard enough time caring for himself atm.
Now me, I have no mouses, but badly miss having a cat. Cats are good people.

If I could get a Cat I was confident wouldn't bother my open mining racks I would get one. I have an on-going mouse problem combined with a low grade allergy to Cat hair. I can survive the allergy (I already take antihistamines, just increase them). But not a nosy Cat.

I am beginning to think that this system https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8853145 could stay in the top 100 list simply on the strength of running an RTX 2060 Super with Tbar/petri's All-In-One gpu app.
A lot of the gpu tasks are taking a minute or less. I even have the cpu crunching 4 Set@Home threads to emulate a small cpu.

I redeployed most of its gpus (5) yesterday in a bid to control (somewhat) my power bill now that I have an 8 GPU experiment under way. And the rest of the CPU threads are running another cpu-based project.

I just got an Invalid, running the standard Win 10 SETI@home v8 v8.22 (opencl_nvidia_SoG) windows_intelx86 app, against two computers running Linux both running the SETI@home v8 Anonymous platform (NVIDIA GPU) app. Noticed that they are both using an old Nvidia driver 430.50 from last September 11th.

It's a noise bomb, so not that important, but except for a previously reported task which was a Flakey AMD/ATI GPUs, including RX 5700 XT problem, it is a very unusual event for this computer.

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3884371582
Linux hosts are https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8810937 & https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8261137

It’s a function of how the two different apps find signals. The CUDA apps (and as I understand it, even the default CUDA apps act this way) find Triplets first, and the SoG apps find Pulses first.

On noisy WUs, when combined with the 30 signal limit, processing stops before all signals are found. I’m willing to bet if the 30 signal limit was removed and the apps were allowed to run until the end, they would probably find all the same. But they are all coded to stop at the same number of found signals. This causes the mismatch.

So apparently Breakthru Listen has released to major chunks of data. And they are available. It is not clear what the format is and how much processing power we would have to devote to get it into a format our apps can process.
Or create Apps to process it natively. Plus it may/may not be possible to split it into the sizes the volunteer corp can handle.

If someone wants to read this and Asimov it so I can understand it I would really appreciate it.

I think you’ll find that’s what the BLC work units are from.

Evidently not. Since all the BLC work units have come from the GBT. Nothing from Parkes. Since the task names have never included targets from the Southern Hemisphere or have RA-DEC coordinates in the task indicating a negative declination, we have had nothing but Northern Hemisphere targets from Arecibo or Green Bank.

The notice said the second release of data was from the Parkes array in Australia.

They (or Matt) must of figured out the problems finally.

Cheers.

Wow, that would be great if we start getting Parkes data. We paid for the hardware for the receivers down there already. Last I heard was they goofed on the data formatting and flipped the polarity of what the splitters were expecting. This would make Stephen jump for joy.

But haven't seen a peep of any notice in News or Technical News that we are finally going to start getting Parkes data to crunch.
