I'm still getting a few work units here and there, no doubt from unfinished and/or unconfirmed units. I imagine if I just keep my computer on (as usual) it will probably be snagging work units here and there for quite some time. The last due date in what's left of my queues is now into June. However, I'm sure many of us (especially those that have been at this since 1999) kind of feel like:

One remaining on my 8 core workhorse (apologies to the unit, put in a ancient nvidia card with a pathetic amount of cuda cores and it's chugging along) This system (4 core) got a bunch and has none now. Lots of 2010's came through

Thank everybody for this project. It was inspired me to become a programmer. Now it is my profession . Keep inspire. From Russia with Love :)

I got a couple of astropulse workunits to work on, all other systems have zero load. House got cold.

I have over 50 workunits i hope the work is not for trash

Well almost finished with jobs. Is that it or are the servers temporarily down right now?

Let them get processed and returned.

This is all part of a great search run!


Keep searchin!

Holding on to the bitter end?

I'm currently about an hour into crunching my very last CPU task on my main computer. Looks like it will finish in the next 30 minutes or so. All the GPU units finished a couple of days ago.

Interestingly, it doesn't look like the stats are keeping up... my "account" currently shows the same computer with 299 in progress units (all sent March 30). Strange, but it seems like that would be more likely to be accurate now that new stuff isn't going out any longer, the units being reported should be falling off quite rapidly. I do have quite a few units left to process on my laptop still. Given that it (a) has a pretty weak i3-2.4 GHz processor and (b) pauses SETI@home when Netflix, my browser, or DVD player app are running, that may be another week or so for that one to finish up.

Here's something though. While crunching this box (as measured by my UPS unit) generally averaged 180-200 watts draw. With just this last unit crunching it's pulling 54 watts. Once it goes idle I'm sure it will be about half of that. Good thing the warm weather will be arriving in a month or two. Without my air conditioning running in the apartment my power company might be wondering where I went. ;-)

I am proud to see so many people posting their feelings about the hiatus of SETI for the moment.

Many have hardly posted over the life time of their service.

They say it is the quiet ones that change the universe and I am sure that is true.

Well done people.

The forums will stay open for the foreseeable future as well as your teams personal forums.

Stay in touch and know you are important here.

Hi All.
I'm one of the thousands which is sad for SETI to come to the end, I recently(within last year) got a decent laptop to run it again after years of a struggling outdated one, I've been doing this back when a 486 chip, was the big thing this is my second account as I lost password and had to create second account :(
I've hoped I and thousands of others have helped to find ET .

My laptop has finally finished it's last seti project.

So
in Mulder's words "I want to believe" there is life out there somewhere.

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

I just hope when you crunch the data you find results.

Thanks for letting me be part of the biggest networking project & probably one of the longest projects ever run - or feels like it.

Well who would have guessed my last wu is a astropulse on my slowest computer. When its done it gets a win 10 os and new tasks. Live long and prosper. Don't pick your nose.

While we are all contemplating the conditions that have to exist to get the SETI project restarted (They are still out there!!!), take a look at this YouTube video on alien messages that we don't want to receive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKVpHTMj3XM

Sad to hear of the end of SETI@Home. I've been crunching numbers since May 15, 1999 with Windows NT and dial-up.

I don't think I've ever posted here, but figured I'd add a sign-off, "I was here, once." I'm pondering other projects to donate to now, but really liked the SETI@Home mission.

For Astrophysics there's:


Asteroids@home
http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/

Einstein@home
https://einsteinathome.org/

Milkyway@home
http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/

Universe@home
https://universeathome.pl/universe/


Not Astro, but if you're interested in itsy bity teeny weeny (no not bikinis) atomic particles:
LHC@home
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/

(The only potential down side is most of their main PC apps are VirtualBox.)


Only Einstein@home supports GPU though.

~Yav

And MilkyWay does also.

Einstein@home really uses your pc ram. All of it if you let it on some work units but it doesn't seem to cause a lot of heat in the cpu even though all cors at 100%

I want to Salute the SETI Team for doing an OUTSTANDING job for over 20 Years!
The Classic SETI and onward!
I even got a bunch of classic units crunched out when I started in Feb 2 2001!!
AWESOME Guys!!!
Thank You to my FAVORITE Crunching program and Screen Saver!!!
I will keep one computer on SETI running from now on waiting for any more work units from anything from this team!!
For many months to years if I have too...

Hats Off to the SETI Team!!!!

Einstein@home really uses your pc ram. All of it if you let it on some work units but it doesn't seem to cause a lot of heat in the cpu even though all cors at 100%

On my Linux box, this is my CPU RAM:

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            23G        5.6G         16G         24M        1.0G         17G

This is with 3xGPUs each running 1 task, and 11 CPU tasks running.

On the Windows box, again the RAM usage seems reasonable:

Total Physical Memory:     12,271 MB
Available Physical Memory: 6,920 MB
Virtual Memory: Max Size:  24,559 MB
Virtual Memory: Available: 16,731 MB
Virtual Memory: In Use:    7,828 MB

This is with 4 CPU tasks, 2xGPUs, and my normal "daily driver" stuff running on Win10Prox64.

Note:
I only run the Gamma-Ray Pulsar Searches on CPU and GPU.
The Gravity Wave stuff is indeed a "heavy hitter" in resource needs.
Perhaps that's what you're referring to?
l8r, Jim ...

I call pulsars 2nd prize, 1st prize are GWs. I wanna find a gravity wave.

Yes gravity wave. I had 8 of them running at once. took forever to complete.
