Plans for theSkyNet on BOINC

We have some news for you all today – theSkyNet is expanding into new territory, and taking on some new data processing.

An all official-like media release on the topic is sitting over on the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research's site here.  Go check it out, we'll wait.

In a nutshell, this means that theSkyNet members now get the chance to help us process data from radio telescopes, simulated data to help telescopes run better and now data from optical telescopes.

Perhaps more excitingly for everyone though is the news that this new processing will be done using an all-new theSkyNet platform on BOINC.  Yes, we've heard you loud and clear!

This doesn't mean we're getting rid of Nereus (the way theSkyNet is currently set up) – You'll still be able to donate computing power through your browser to process radio data and help with the effort towards the SKA. However, those of you 'power' users out there will now have the opportunity to use BOINC to do some processing as well.

We're ironing out details, and we wont have everything ready for you tomorrow, but the lovely ICT guys here tell us that within six months you'll have two options on how to add to theSkyNet.




Also on theSkyNet forum they have asked for assistance in setting up BOINC:

I'll start with a general call to arms - there's the potential for members to get involved in making this BOINC system become a reality faster (read that as I'm making no promises because I'm not in charge of this). We've already had a few offers of help with coding, so I suggested to the ICT guys that if they wanted help it was there and they're interested.

Bottom line: if you'd like to get involved in some way, send me a PM on the forums with your email address and I'll send your details on to the guys in charge!

Anyone who is not a theSkyNet member can contact them via their contact page.

Great news an Australian BOINC project at last.    :dance2: :cheer1: :crazy

As soon as it is online and operating I will send an email to all Team members to let them know and maybe we can get close to the top Team.
