Project Updates

Hi all,

Would this app_config work?

<app_config>
    <app>
    <name>setiathome_v6</name>
    <gpu_versions>
    <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
    <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
    </gpu_versions>
    </app>

    <app>
    <name>setiathome_enhanced</name>
    <max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
    <gpu_versions>
    <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
    <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
    </gpu_versions>
    </app>

    <app>
    <name>astropulse_v7</name>
    <max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
    <gpu_versions>
    <gpu_usage>.33</gpu_usage>
    <cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
    </gpu_versions>
    </app>

    </app_config>

I know AMD cards aren't that great with SETI but I'm sure I can squeeze a bit more out of this Vega 56.

Cheers 

If you are using a Windows machine then you can use the Optimized apps from Lunatics http://lunatics.kwsn.info/index.php?action=downloads;cat=9 and use the Windows Installer and if you select the correct hardware during the installation it will create the app_config for you.

Greetings All

For those that are crunching or attempting to crunch SETI, they are having major problems as per the following thread.

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84416

Be wise to move GPU/CPU's over to a back up project for the time being.

I tried to download some work today as I was going to move over to Seti for a while from Rosetta.  I am running WCG as that is on my hit list as well and there is a BoinStats challenge on there.

Thanks Tazzduke. I see one of my pc's has run dry. That's cool, I'll switch back to all CPU cores on Rosetta.

Good Morning All

There is a further update in the following thread

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84983#2024610

Seems some people are getting some work through, albeit just running stock applications.

2 of my PC's have work, the other can't get any.

[SETI@home] Website outage
Multiple disk failure resulted in a web site outage. We think we've recovered almost everything from the web site, so it should be back up and running.

Why this was even sent out is beyond me.  Who goes to the Seti web site any more.

It's interesting as you can see "SETI Refugee's" attached to other project in the forums plus SETI teams are still popular. It was the most media savvy project as well

In short I can understand it as I'm sure people are waiting to crunch SETI again yet it's not coming back any time soon

Yes, If I have to describe BOINC to someone who's never heard of it, I usually start with "Have you heard of SETI@Home or Folding@Home?"
They either have or haven't heard of it. Those 2 seem to be the most widely known imo.
