| Personal background |
|---|
I am a Telecommunication Engineer that have been working more than 10 years in a Spanish consulting company focused in technology & architectures.
One of my specialities was the systems architecture & tuning for specific purposes. In all my years of experience y never found a commercial application for massive parallel processors (MPP´s) and almost all commercial systems worked fine and better with SMP architectures.
I knew about a lot of experimental & scientific projects that used MPP architectures, but never knew a real massive experience of such systems. I try in this period (1997) to imagine a really “big†application for such architectures… and …
Now, 2003, when the SMP architectures (with more than 128 proc´s) continue to be the best architectures… I discovered SETI@Home… (yes I know it’s a little late) but I got so excited when I identified a “problem†that can really be applied to an MPP architecture, not only limited to a cabinet or a room, but to the complete world.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Hey, more than 4 million of CPU´s working at the same time is the biggest application that I have heard in my live (and I am 38).
I know that the live of SETI@Home is limited, but I am really anxious waiting for BOINC and AstoPULSE.
I am sure that there had been live & intelligence before and after us, but I do not trust in the human being and his capability of expanding the live of our civilisation time enough to be in the same time&space than another intelligent civilisation.
In any case I am here at SETI@home both for a computing experience and for ..... jut in case ...
