@ Tom M Looks like there are 11 ThreadRipers in the top 100.One is mine running Ubuntu 18.04. The other one of mine is running Win10 and below Top 100. |

After Much 31st I wonder how long it will take for the cleanup to be done (process the tasks that miss their deadline) I wonder whether or not they will even do that I hope they will so we can get credit for our work

on the bright side we will finally split those files that have been hanging out in the to-be-split list forever. sigh. I'm not handling this very well |

Otherwise, it's a case of waiting for all the current work to timeout, then the resends that get sent to hosts that don't return it to timeout, then those resends that get sent to hosts that don't return them to time out, etc, etc, etc. I would estimate 9 months to clear all existing work, once new work stops being sent out (if they do choose to complete all outstanding work).

Since Seti is winding up, how about going out in style? Do away with Credit New & award Credit according the the actual definition of a Cobblestone? Grant Darwin NT |

Are there any other Wild Blue Yonder BOINC projects out there? Or are they all a little less wild in their focus? Or better yet. What would happen if we fund a shadow Seti@Home server site and continue to try to process the "new" data that other projects are making available? Yes I know we would still have to come up with a final Analysis step but with all the EYPC's coming online maybe that is do-able. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

Can we get one? 2 exaflops! If you want one it looks like you will have to wait until 2023. Can you afford to wait that long Garry?

Can we get one? 2 exaflops! Why we need such computer power if the SETI will be down?

Can we get one? 2 exaflops! I am not sure as to why we need a machine of that calibre. I am thinking so it can handle the server operations without all of the issues that we have been having. I agree with you 100% the project will be closed

I'm not sure why they need a computer of that calibre in the first place to maximize how many humans can be vaporized and cities destroyed when we already have enough nuclear weapons to do that already several times over... another great excuse to waste a huge amount of money on something that we'll hopefully never use and almost certainly don't need. For a bit of perspective: SETI@Home at its peak was doing just over a PetaFLOP, so that proposed computer is two thousand times as powerful (or 2,048 if you're a powers-of-two person.) Yet every government on earth refuses to support SETI research, saying it is a waste of money. Go figure...

I some wants call humans an "intelligent species". Could be a civilization, as posted by Ville, intelligent never! We need urgent finds an ET intelligent civilization and learn from them!.

I will admit to not looking at my stats for a while, I just did and saw my current total credit is 97,922,933, now can I make it to 100,000,000. Well with a little help from another machine (not forgetting my Raspberry Pi) ;-) I think I can, it will be a nice milestone to end on. PS just noticed I only need 107 more posts to reach 10,000, but I won't inflict that on you ;-) |

Sadly, I don't think I have enough time to reach 200,000,000. It'll be like my Classic total, permanently stuck on 299,533 hours. |

To help stop the database getting even worse than it is, and to help stop some people becoming disappointed, frustrated & annoyed it might be an idea to no longer allow any new people to join up since things are going to be winding up in a matter of days? Grant Darwin NT |
