Rosetta and FAH are the two top popular choices.

They are aware. Many people are trying to help now, so servers get overwhelmed.

Hi Stephen,

I haven't gotten any tasks from them in over 14 hours. :(

Have a great day! :)

Almost 15 years. Truly devastated by this news. Anyone have any recommendations on what to crunch next? I have never even thought of running anything else. I would like to crunch something space related. Thanks to ALL of the volunteers who kept this project going! Is there any chance it will come back?


Most answers seem to ignore your space related request, so as well as Einstein@home theirs Milkyway@ home :-

Milkyway@home studies the history of our galaxy by analyzing the stars in the Milky Way galaxy's Galactic Halo. This includes searching for elusive dark matter. This research is done by mapping structures of stars orbiting the Milky Way.....
Additionally, Milkyway@home has recently started developing the "N-body" sub-project, which creates simulated dwarf galaxies and "shoots" them into the Milky Way's gravitational field. We allow the simulated dwarf galaxy's initial conditions to vary until the final simulated dwarf matches what we see in actual halo structures. In other words, we are trying to match dwarf galaxy models to real data, in order to learn more about what is (and what isn't) possible for our Galaxy.
For both projects, we use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey


The only real 'snag' with this project is that to get a decent amount of science & points you really need to run it on a GPU, & preferable one with a good double precision (FP64) performance (AMD's old HD 7970/280X is still the best here I think![edit] Nope, Rad VII should be better!), but you can still do it with a CPU .

Asteroids@home
The project Asteroids@home was started with the aim to significantly enlarge our knowledge of physical properties of asteroids. The BOINC application uses photometric measurements of asteroids observed by professional big all-sky surveys as well as 'backyard' astronomers. The data is processed using the light curve inversion method and a 3D shape model of an asteroid together with the rotation period and the direction of the spin axis are derived.

Was predominantly run on the CPU, but they do have an Nvidia app for it now.
Doesn't include orbit tracking.

Their are probably other space related DC projects, but these are the other 2 I'm most familiar with.

I've been running since the beginning, beyond the 20 year club and wasn't thinking this would end. After all, the universe is quite large. I've had multiple computers along the way. I feel lost without seti, and never gave a thought to whats next. Ill stay around, hoping for more. Still have days left in the queue.

Thanks for the work everyone had performed.

Gosh, it's hard to believe that this is the end. I first jumped into bed with SETI@home back with 'SETI@home Classic'. When that ended back in 2005 I came across to Boinc, then other projects.
To think, I first started SETI when I was at school, all those many years ago. It's been a wonderful project, managed by fantastic staff and powered by great volunteers!

Thanks for the ride! Good luck with the future.

On the final lap now, 2 m/c ran out of GPU work, just some CPU work left to keep me going over the w/e. I fired up an extra 2 to get the RAC up in case they don't sort out the ability to post parameters. Hasn't been as high as 25,000 for many many years. That's what I call going out with a bang!

Seems Rosetta is inundated and has no work at present. FAH appears to be OK for now.

Stay safe everyone.


. . I actually got some work from Rosetta but I may have to give it the flick, it has crashed this PC for the third time so I may have to find another 'new' project.

No problems on my system, but i did have to add some RAM, increase disk space available to BOINC by a huge amount, and increase RAM available to BOINC by a huge amount to be able to use all of my cores & threads.

. . This machine has 8GB ram and a 16GB flashdrive for BOINC to play with to its heart's content. How much RAM did you have to add?

I doubled it to 32GB.*
But i think your problem will be the flash drive- too small, too slow.
I ended up giving BOINC 8 GB to play with, and had to increase it further with the current Tasks being sent out.

A flash drive might be OK for Seti, not much data is read or written & what is done is very small amounts. But Rosetta uses huge amounts of disk space, and probably does quite a bit of reading & writing at various points along the way when processing a Task.


*The largest Rosetta Task memory requirement i've seen has been 1.3GB, some are only 500MB. So as long as you allow 1.3GB per CPU Thread being used, you shouldn't run in to memory issues.

Also check the BOINC Manager Event log, if there is a lack of disk sapce, Rosetta will have messages saying so in there- in red as well.
From my Event log
3/04/2020 09:39:50 | Rosetta@home | Message from server: Rosetta needs 238.75MB more disk space.  You currently have 1287.13 MB available and it needs 1525.88 MB.



Edit-
I've got a whole bunch of Rosetta Tasks, about to finish/finishing up. So i fired up Resource Monitor and there is a huge amount of disk activity- mostly writes, and one of your errors was related to not being able to read a file. I would expect there is a large amount of disk activity at various stages throughout the processing of a Task.
So i'm thinking the flash drive just isn't up to that sort of workout.

Rosetta is alive again,
but take care: the wu's must be crunched within a few days only, thats quite different to SETI.
If someone likes to do work for biomedicine there is also GPUGRID, a project for CPU's and NVIDIA GPU's. They also have a lot of work available.

. . OK, it sounds like that machine aint cut out for Rosetta. Not looking to spend more bucks upgrading it with bigger faster drive and more ram, it sounds like maybe even the 8MB I could add might not be enough. My virus checker is saying that rig now has IDP.generic virus in boinc.exe, I suspect it is a false positive but despite making it an exception not to be scanned it keeps testing and failing it so I cannot even run E@H anymore. I need to fix the problems that it now has and find something more suitable for it to do :(
