| SETI News Send message Joined: 16 Dec 09 Posts: 387 Credit: 0 RAC: 0 | On March 31, the volunteer computing part of SETI@home will stop distributing work and will go into hibernation. We're doing this for two reasons: 1) Scientifically, we're at the point of diminishing returns; basically, we've analyzed all the data we need for now. 2) It's a lot of work for us to manage the distributed processing of data. We need to focus on completing the back-end analysis of the results we already have, and writing this up in a scientific journal paper. However, SETI@home is not disappearing. The web site and the message boards will continue to operate. We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of SETI@home for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens, SETI@home will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this. If you're currently running SETI@home on your computer, we encourage you to attach to other BOINC-based projects as well. Or use Science United and sign up to do astronomy. You can stay attached to SETI@home, of course, but you won't get any jobs until we find new applications. We're extremely grateful to all of our volunteers for supporting us in many ways during the past 20 years. Without you there would be no SETI@home. We're excited to finish up our original science project, and we look forward to what comes next. |

Excellent decision. It's exactly what I have wanted for some time now. Time to concentrate on analyzing all results that we have crunched over 20+ years. |
| Mr. Kevvy Send message Joined: 15 May 99 Posts: 3263 Credit: 1,114,826,392 RAC: 3,319 | This is sad, but not unexpected. Nebula has been in the works for a while and was designed to process the two decades of data we've accumulated. The project always had a fixed lifespan pending getting to this state. I had hoped that it would continue with data being collected, processed and put into Nebula at the same time, but this may not be technically possible. In the interim, the greatest contribution to the world that SETI@Home has made is the development of BOINC. There are dozens of worthy BOINC projects out there to switch our computers to, all needing volunteers. While they'll never replace SETI@Home for me, they'll at least keep the hardware we paid for busy, and who knows... we might still discover something. (And of course we can only now start to discover something here... all of our data has sat idle and waiting until now!) So there is still hope. |

| Freewill Send message Joined: 19 May 99 Posts: 567 Credit: 354,398,348 RAC: 11,693 | After 20 years of supporting SETI@Home, this is a milestone. I'm glad there will be a focus on analyzing our results and hope there are some interesting ones to share. Meanwhile, I hope there are other analyzes this global and dedicated group of volunteers can support. Look forward to hearing about those. Roger |

There must be also some good mileage in writing up how the various optimized apps came to be and for how they were optimized and for their contribution to pushing our search farther and faster and more efficiently...? A fantastic feat all round for the community inspiration and dedication! Here's looking forward to what progress we make next.

| ML1 Send message Joined: 25 Nov 01 Posts: 11138 Credit: 7,508,002 RAC: 20 | It does not want my done tasks? Note: s@h will still receive your completed work. At the end of this month, no further work will be sent out for processing. Then there is a lot more work for the scientists at s@h to do to continue to process the many results you and many others have sent over the last 20 years and more... Fantastic work all round!

Online in deutsch wäre natürlich optimal. Ich habe mich an dem Projekt ab dem 27. Juli 1999 beteiligt mit einem Pentium 133Mhz ohne MMX. Später über BOiNC mit über 20 Projekten an verschiedenen Rechnern mit machen lassen. |
