Anyone for an Amiga.Org SETI@Home group?

@iamaboringperson
SETI (pronounced set-tee) is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

There is unfortunatly no amiga version (yet), so you`ll have to use another brand...

I`m already  with `boing` but i may change over if there are loads going to join from here...

Go on, i dare you...













[did you `pmail` someone (wayne?) who know what they`re doing?]

[blobrana]

Hum,
reading that has made me realise that some ppl may think that you need to be connected permanently to do seti work...you just need to download a 340 k `unit` , and can disconnect after that, only reconnecting to download another unit...
And it only takes up SPARE CPU cycles, so you could be doing work at the same time...OR...You could just run it as a screen-saver, only doing it`s job while in screen-saver mode...

[blobrana]

Hum,
a difficult choise that...

But the fact that you couldn't`t find any aliens and change the course of human society forever , swayed me in favour of SETI...

[blobrana]

Hum,

OR....

You could try `seti monitor` that will download a heap of units at once, and feed them one at a time to seti...

(It`s a bit like a plasma reservoir/magazine for a standard plasma rifle)

And once all your units are processed it uploads them , and downloads a refill...

[Well, i like it]

@Cyberus

Hum, just took a look at my CPU usage...(normal set up) 4 firewalls, win-amp 5 playing mp3, two browser windows open, and seti running...all the processes take up 3 - 8%...the other
 (mostly) 97% is spare...(but soaked up by seti).

And i`m running 1024 x 768 32bit, with ALL the features turned on in XP Pro...



Unfortunaly seti usage  drops down to 75% when i launch WinUAE...(As well)..

[blobrana]

Maybe it`s my connection...
but i cant seen to join...
not found page comes up....


I`ll try later

[blobrana]

Hum,
It worked that time....

Hum,
that`s an intriguing idea...

But are the chips too slow, er, compared to the graphic processors?
(i suppose that you could program any chip to process the seti unit)

Or did i pick that up wrong?

(you want to listen to SETI?)
