So....is anyone else leaving it running just to see what you might get from time to time, if anything? I received a WU on the 7th. I wonder how long these sporadic bits of data will continue to be sent out.

My slowest computer, the single core Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.50GHz, just got 13 tasks.

It's full to the brim after that (it had 20 tasks before this last batch). Now it can crunch for another 10-days :-)

SETI@home	2020-04-08 16:25:13	Requesting new tasks for CPU	
SETI@home	2020-04-08 16:25:17	Scheduler request completed: got 13 new tasks

You win the Seti Lotto! Congrats

The end is really starting to sink in now that one of my computer has run out.

My Raspberry Pi ran out during the night, it is now running Einstein@Home.

My Android phone is running its last task (now at 99.6%) and already running Einstein@Home on the other 3 cores.

Hi BWS,

I have my main set to get any GPU resends that may come down the pike. This PC hasn't seen a SETI task since at least the 31st.

Have a great day! :)

your task list disagrees with this. you were sent about 50 tasks on April 3rd.

Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours

Another sign of how things are slowing down here: I'm currently in the top 5% with an RAC lower than one that just recently only placed me in the top 25%.

I had 4 machines crunching SETI. One ran out of work in the last hour and has been turned off. Now there are 3. I'll keep them running after they finish their WUs. One is the one I'm using to send this message and is my home laptop anyway. Another is for my ham shack. The last is my previous consulting laptop, but is still used for other purposes, as well. When SETI WUs are done it will be the end of an era, and not a happy time.

Hi Ian,

I saw 3 tasks yesterday some time after I had made my reply post below. I watch pretty closely and I did not see 50 tasks assigned. I cannot dispute what the linked page says. I even periodically check the Event log and all I have seen from SETI is "Project has no tasks". Somehow SETI sneaked a bunch in when I wasn't looking. ;)

Have a great day! :)

And another has finished. Not shutting it down, shifted over to PrimeGrid. SETI is winding down.

I finished all the seti tasks I had. I'm still polling for more, but I thought I should mark this point in my personal history. We will need a general "I got one" thread like they have for AP. I'm running rosetta for the moment...while they have a covid project, then I'll see how einstein does. I'll stop all that if I get any more seti WUs though.

Just a tip. Before you go to another project reduce the number of days cache to a small number or you could be surprised. Others projects not has the WU limitation problem of S@H, so if your cache is set for 10 days you will be swarm with 1000's of WU. Start with 0.5 days ans slowly increase untill you find your optimal point.

---

I just reported my last task from the original batch, sniff. :'-) Now it's down to about a day of resends on the slower cruncher before I start other projects on it too.

---

Gazing at the skies, hoping for contact... Unlikely, but it would be such a fantastic opportunity to learn.

My alternative profile

Main host switched to rosetta 0 wu left, Slowest one still have 13 wu left ...

My 25 node Raspberry cluster is still full up. It has a RAC of about 12,000. All my fast machines have been empty for days with the odd resend, but those get processed within minutes so I don't even get to appreciate them while they run.

And yet another has finished SETI. Just one to go, and it has enough to keep it busy for another day or three. PrimeGrid on 2 now.

They're on an automatic feed - they haven't got round to blocking it yet! It would have been neater for the eventual restart if they had decided to stop after the final 31 March tape from Arecibo. Would have given me a better chance of reaching 200M credits, too

. . So close. I am nearly 8 mil away but you only need another 40K or so :(

Stephen

< shrug >

Go for it! Fingers crossed. If i could help with anything just say the word.

I'm pedalling as hard as I can!

I'm doing the same, but indoors, we are in a complete lock-down here.

. . Here we can still go out for a walk for exercise. As long as we meet the other requirements.

Stephen

:)

How can you tell when/how the new tapes are added? Checked one of my stations here, it has some of the 27's but most are 21-26 numbered units
Even have this one:
Application
SETI@home v8 8.00 (cuda50)
Name
04fe20aa.8402.1294.10.37.142.vlar
Executable
setiathome_8.00_windows_intelx86__cuda50.exe

. . I was going to say I'm a bit late but I recommend SoG then I looked and saw you are using a GT730, nice little card BTW, and CUDA50 is about as good as it gets on one of those. I had some very pleasing results on mine using CUDA50.

. . The highlight is the date the tape was recorded at Arecibo. There is a VPN link back to Berkeley and they were transmitted as part of an automated process which also included auto-mounting them on the splitters. Ended now of course.

Stephen

:)

Wow, 20 million results and counting for validation. Wonder how long that will take when it shuts down?
edit:
Does this mean I have a work unit from September 24th 2011?
24se11ab.23114.12746.5.32.132

. . Yes, they have been doing some housekeeping and catching up with old outstanding tapes ...
