Nearly 8 years ago went to a quad core. A bit over 2 years with an OK GPU. There was a time when I did a whole 80 credits a day, now I'm over 10K a day. It's been fun. Probably heading to Folding@Home next. Thanks for the help when asked. See you all on the flipside. "Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh." - The Doctor ID: 2042185 · Reply Quote

An adventure in crunching across explosive growth in computing capabilities, with clever people optimizing code along the way. It's been fun! ID: 2042198 · Reply Quote

I was wondering the same thing....I know we can finish them....but is there a point? Will they still be accepting them? Of course... only new work generation has stopped. Result return including re-sends for timeouts, errors etc. is going to continue indefinitely until it's all completed (that's what we've been advised, at least.) ID: 2042297 · Reply Quote

Looks like they we'll be accepting results and resending results that didn't validate for a while. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=85412 ID: 2042298 · Reply Quote

Meanwhile, by way of a sign-off... hereâ€™s the story of Ale-in Life Form, a beer fermented with waste heat from SETI@home calculations. https://capacify.wordpress.com/2020/04/01/beer-and-number-crunching/ All the best!
