    SETI@home completes the switch to BOINC
    ----------------------------------------------------
    SETI@home has completed its transition to BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure
    for Network Computing). BOINC, developed at U.C. Berkeley, is a framework for
    volunteer computing projects like SETI@home.

    Switching your computer to the new "SETI@home/BOINC" is easy. Visit
    http://setiathome.berkeley.edu for instructions. We'll be shutting down the
    "SETI@home Classic" project on December 15. The workunit totals of users and
    teams will be frozen at that point, and the final totals will be available on
    the web.

    Scientists at other universities are using BOINC to create volunteer computing
    projects in areas like molecular biology, high-energy physics, and climate
    change study. See http://boinc.berkeley.edu for more information. BOINC lets
    you donate computer time to multiple causes, divided up however you want. For
    example, your PC could spend 40% of its time searching for extraterrestrial
    life (SETI@home), 30% studying climate change (http://climateprediction.net),
    and 30% studying protein folding, design and docking (Rosetta@home:
    http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/).

    You can run SETI@home 100% of the time if you want. But we strongly encourage
    you to participate in other projects. Doing so ensures that when SETI@home is
    down or has no work, your computer stays busy helping other researchers.

    Support SETI@home
    ----------------------------------------------------
    SETI@home is increasingly reliant on individual donations. Without the support
    of individuals like you the project will not be able to continue. We urge all
    SETI@home participants to make a yearly donation to keep the project going:
    http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/donate.php

    ----------------------------------------------------
    Thanks again for your participation in SETI@home.

    The SETI@home Team

    Why isn't this team on the 'team' page?

    I plan on doing FAD and maybe seti when i build my new pc. Will they both work at the same time or should i just use one?


    I say, if i have my PC idle, why waste the power when i can crunch some figures and help others out.

    I'm sure you could do both. You just wouldn't get the same results by using one or the other. No big deal I suppose unless you want crunch more than anyone else!

    Oh...I just finished #36! Now ranked 98th in our team!

    edit: jokostel, according to the site, I should overtake you in 228 days! It will take me 19000 days to overtake Mike!!

    I'm not sure how two DC clients will work together. They usually use the lowest priority, but I'm not sure whether one is lower than the other.

    This team really should be on the teams page, with a link to that Seti@Work page. I'd been unable to find that page.

    I recently joined SETI after taking a break from UD and DC in general for a while...

    Hope it helps!

    When running 2 DC clients together generally it is expected that SETI will hog all the resources thus making the other DC project redundant.

    I know I'm kinda clueless but could someone pm me and explain what this is because I know it will be too long to post...


    Basically a program runs on your computer while your online offline?? while its just on? and then you send the info...any systems requirements?

    I'd signed up along time ago if I'd known my 8-14hours a day online would be helpful

    Actually I think there's a small number of teams that are missing from the teams page.. FAD isn't on there either.

    The info is on here http://www.timodc.com/ but its still in process so not much info yet

    RicheemxX, you have the right idea

    While you're sitting there surfing the net.. or even while you're out at classes/job its just sitting there crunching along happily regardless of what you're doing. SETI and many other clients require you to be online all the time (with exceptions like UD using UD Mon) .. ECC2 I believe... that works a bit different so it doesn't actually download anything from the net, but does need to send out occasionally. All it does is use the Idle CPU time that you wouldn't use anyways

    Actually, SETI does not require that you are online all of the time. It downloads the file, processes it, then sends the file out and downloads a new one. It can be set up to automatically access the web or ask permission so that you do not have to be online for it to work.
