The project for all intended purpose is dead. They keep the forum going for the community.

The project is dead. They pulled the servers some time ago. There will not be any more work. They maintain the message boards so the community can talk with each other but there will not be any more work and the work servers are gone.

Extremely doubtful. This project went on much longer than originally planned. For all purposes, I do believe this part of SETI is done.

Pretty sure I only have 1 machine with 2080s in it and it's not running right now. All the other have 1080Tis in them

Keith convinced me to join him at Universe. I still do Einstein but not in the force that I used to. I might switch more to Universe but it depends on the weather lol. I need some GPU work to keep the house warm.

Interesting but unless the other projects develop apps to take advantage of the GPUs, is it worth buying new cards?

Per Eric on FB

Eric Korpela There are currently 17234 workunits that don't have a validated result. Once they are finished nothing more should go out. During normal operations, that would have been about 10 minutes worth. But a lot of people quit in May without returning their results. We've sent everything out again in an attempt to speed things up. I'd guess a few days more before those most of those results are back and validated.

Still have a lot of validation inconclusive. Those will take a bit to sort out...

BTW, has anybody mentioned giving the third degree to the Astropulse science database?


That would be nice but probably not going to happen...

It's in a post in the FB Seti@home forum. It's in a reply to someone asking why resends were coming out lasts night. I can't link to the the direct post. You would have to go to the FB forum and then look for it. I saw it 4 hours ago since it was in reply to one of the other admins.

I'm betting they are trying to wrap it up so they can move the lot back into the closet...but that is just me...

They're trying to speed up the returns so that they can get the science completed quicker.


Go give Dr. A posts on how he plans on analyzing the data a read. I have. They aren't going to have this done anytime in any kind of near future.

I don't understand why "waiting to run"?
There are 2 CPUs. But only one CPU task working.
How to decipher "waiting to run" into some hint how to run it?

https://clip2net.com/s/46YG8fH



2 threads

1 thread for Seti
2nd thread for Einstein (unlike Seti, Einstein will use up to and including a full thread depending on which work unit it is. It will also, sometimes use more than 100% of a thread or 110-155% of a thread)

That second Seti work unit is waiting for cycles on one of the 2 threads so it can run.

Unfortunately, it's even more complex than that. If you read his blog, he goes into giving criteria on what he would want to look for but not sure of how he would actually write the program (don't get me wrong, I don't have a clue either) but sounds like there are lots of obstacles that need to be overcome before they can ever start to look at the data.
