SETI@home hibernation
(Message 2036006)
Posted 5 Mar 2020 by  SMW
Post: Unless I am greatly mistaken, there is raw data, there is completed work that we have done, then there is further work done on all of the data to get every drop of information into a research presentable fashion. What they are saying is they are so far head, on the first actions and need a lot of time to finish the final reporting of data. I am not sure volunteers, at hone, can do the further processing and evaluating that is now required. Therefore the program will "hibernate" until such a time as they can further process and report based on what they have at this time. I suspect this will take a great amount of time. When that is done the project may come back to life. I have been with this project form the beginning, and this will be the first time in years I have not had a computer running 24/7. I will miss the project, but I realize we had a very important job to do, and now, for the ,most part, regardless of reason it is done ( as far as we are concerned). Time to sit back and watch for GREAT findings, and hope for it's return. |

Post: We need to let the Berkley guys do WHATEVER is needed to clean it all up. If that means we don't get new units for a while, so be it. We need to do what is best for the project, regardless of what volunteers want. We are here to donate computer time ( and $$$) for the goal, regardless of how that fits into any individual volunteers personal idea. |

Hi :)

Post: This happens when the time is near for completion based upon your computers capabilities. The High Priorities units are done first to try to assure they are finished prior to the return deadline. This is the first time the boards have actually allowed me to post on the SETI message boards :) |

Post: <---close to Berkely ( location) Update... Volunteers are still using computing power to search for Little Green Men. Their work is GREATLY appreciated. Financial restraints sometimes stop us from being perfect, in everyones eyes, but the battle goes on in search of knowledge. Be well, search for the truth. |

Post: I can not believe that this conversation is really happening. When SETI started, we VOLUNTEERED to use computing time to help a scientific endeavor. The reward was that we knew that we were helping scientific research. That has not changed. We are NOT here for glory, reaching the top of the WU lists, etc. IMHO if you are here for glory or major recognition for WU's, then perhaps this is NOT the endeavor for you to work on. |

Post: Well I haven't been able to upload all day:( Oh well it will wait until next week. I have noticed that all of my computers have had a major drop in work credit. One computer has dropped to 25% of last month and the others have lost about 30%. <----assumes that this too will pass. |

Strange 'To Completion' numbers
(Message 642331)
Posted 16 Sep 2007 by SMW
Post: Went out for a few minutes this morning, and when I cam back, I'm getting some rather strange entries in the 'To Completion' column in my Tasks screen. I have had the same thing on both the Macintosh and the PC platforms. I have found that the actual time is then far less and works just fine. I have also seen where as the units are processed, the amount of time goes up rather than down. In all instances I find that the real time for units is reasonable and within norms, getting reported back with no problems. |

Post: I seem to be having problems uploading completed work units, this started this morning and i waited to post until the evening thinking it may clear and it hasn't. <---having the same issue here on four machines, both Mac and PC. I am thinking it's just the way it will be until Monday. Thank G-D I keep 10 days in my buffer. I am confident that Matt will take care of it when he can.:) |
