Another Engineer in the bunch, been around Seti@home since the University days (some 16 years ago), wish I could save some of the result from back then but well, that's in the past, computers were a lot slower back then. Remember when the school got their first supercomputer to run VR, for some reason, they couldn't get it to run fast enough until they discovered that, it had some software running other programs...
Nowaydays, still an engineer with a medium size company, mainly working on acoustics which is fun.
Taking a break from most outdoor hobbies, getting colder outside so it's more comfortable being inside. Rediscovered the fun of playing around with computers so I built a new one quite recently, never learned to say stop so we're almost on a first name basis at the parts store. Started with one combined CPU / GPU but nowaydays I run 3 GPU's in the same machine. Learned that water cooled CPU's are great! |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

1. It tickles my mind trying to grasp something as complex as looking for intelligence outside earth. And, it gives me a fair amount of well being awards doing something with computer power (other than looking at cat videos).
2. It's a good project and should be worth some more media time. If not, at least a couple of three dozen papers on "why we do this and build extreme machines for other than our own purpose". Nevertheless, in the small world surrounding myself, GPU computing is fairly well received and respected.
3. Continue developing the software to run smarter and sofisticated. |
