I have been here since 1999. Sorry to see this project go, but you would think that something would have happened by now. World Community Grid has a lot of worthwhile projects to contribute to. If we can't find ET, perhaps we can cure Childhood Cancer or figure out Africa Rainfall patterns... -- The World Has Gone Crazy!! We Need a New Place to Live!! Join Our Team!! |

By the last statistics there will by about 200 000 SETI orphan hosts. I like such idea! Maybe on different projects but the same team, SETI Orphans :) Would be the honour to participate ! P.S. my personal choice would be Einstein@home as closest in spirit one. Will see if it can feed all my different devices. Not compatible ones will search for new targets...

As does Rosetta@Home https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=13481 At least Rosetta runs on BOINC, you don't have to switch to a whole new program. |

As does Rosetta@Home https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=13481 Rossetta right now is CPU only, So when Seti goes into hibernation, I will let my computers run Rossetta on the CPU's and I will turn my GPU's loose on Einstein. |

As does Rosetta@Home https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=13481 I am seeing that as a common thread. Run a biology-related project on your CPU and an astronomy-related project on your GPUs. I have run Rossetta in the past and may in the future but right now the bulk of my CPU threads dancing the last dance for Seti. Then they will resume over at World Community Grid (a BOINC project aggregator that runs "socially conscious" projects, most of which are biology oriented).

I've been looking at Einstein as a new home. They were friendly enough to open a spot in their boards to let us chat on Tuesdays, so that earns them bonus points in my book. How is their uptime? do they have a weekly outage? do I need to configure my system differently? AFAIK no weekly outages. But their tasks are huge (in RAM usage metric). On 32-bit OS I got memory issues when SETI queue dry and Einstein's tasks come into play. SETI apps news We're not gonna fight them. We're gonna transcend them. |

Apart from Einstein (my back up project), what are the best ones that run on both CPU and GPU ? Humans may rule the world...but bacteria run it... |

I'm looking @ Milkyway and Einstein or Milkyway and Rosetta, I have 16-32GB mem here, 32GB on this PC, the others when they get online have 16GB each. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Rosetta needs some of the "professional complainers" to get them on their toes - the number of unplanned, unannounced and unexplained they have makes SETI look like a paragon of virtue.... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Excellent point! On Einstein@Home I was surprised when some of my cpu tasks started displaying "waiting on memory". I may have to go out and buy an upgrade to 32 GB for that box. I have not had that issue with World Community Grid. Does Folding at Home run both gpu and cpu tasks? Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

I can't get the team search to work on folding right now. Has anyone created a seti orphans team?? |

I don't think so, but the team (and individual) search behaves rather badly if it can't find a hit returning "Bad Gateway" instead of "not found". It doesn't look as if anyone has started a team starting with "SETI". Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I think it's a fair question to ask. When the hibernation happens, people will make a choice: some will switch to another project, as you have done, and others will mothball their rigs and save on the electricity bills. Either is a perfectly reasonable response. And I think setting up a swap-shop for people making either adjustment could help. But, talking of electricity - If I were you, I'd set your sights above a GTX980Ti. In the current scheme of things, that's an old and gas-guzzling technology. See what offers come up in the 10xx or 16xx ranges. |

I'll take a big gamble and chance posting this here, as I'm not sure this is really the right place, or indeed any place. If you can find a used P100-102 it should give you barely sub-gtx 1080Ti performance at a much lower price. I found some for $250USD or less. It doesn't have any video output so if you need that its not going to fit. A used gtx 1060 3GB will double the performance of a gtx750ti (personal experience under S@H). And use less electricity than a 980ti. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

For that price I would get a GTX 1060 6GB Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours |

You could also get a brand-new GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, with benefit of full guarantee. The 1060 has been discontinued, so I can't do a direct comparison, but I have two crunching (7118033, 8121358) so you can get an idea of throughput. Like your existing 750 Ti, they require no additional power, which would make it an easy swap. |

Has anyone changed their minds? A lot of people were going to E@H and Rosetta@Home (for corona19 crunching). I really wish Rosetta ran some gpu tasks. But apparently no such luck. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

I really wish Rosetta ran some gpu tasks. But apparently no such luck.It's not a question of luck. They would have to write some GPU Applications first - and that's not a trivial exercise. Especially if you haven't programmed a GPU before. |
