2015 WOW event

[Pokey]

Just discovered Seti.Germany has scheduled the annual WOW event for 8/15 to 8/29 2015. We had 13 Team Anandtech members participate last year. I have not registered yet but registration is open and will when we get closer. Plus they usually announce in the forum here at some point.

I'll be in, but you'll have to remind me as I'm sure to forget all about it by then.
Gettin' old is a b!tch.

I need to work on a milestone in Seti. This will give me an excuse.

Are we supposed to pick a particular group for the team, or just pick one we like (or that we were born in)?

 

[petrusbroder]

Pick the one you like or are born in ... the team race will be there anyhow.

 

[Fardringle]

OK, I'm in. Hopefully someone will remember to remind us old guys when to start running it.

 

[petrusbroder]

Will do.

Last year there were well over 800 participants from 48 countries. There was even an individual from Pitcairn Islands if you can believe that. The Aussies were represented.
The event is set up to keep stats by group (astrological sign), by individual user, by country, and by teams. So you can parse the numbers about any way you like. It’s fun.

So is this a TeAm event or individual? The TeAm needs revenge upon our friendly enemies after being edged out in the Pentathlon.

Oh.

Alright, I've not run SETI for 35-40 years now, are there apps to choose from, and if so which pay best and are any likely to fail?

And I need a config file for a fast system with lots of RAM and a 280X Radeon please.

(feeling lazy tonight)

 

[Orange Kid]

I run Lunatics optimized apps for SETI
Set up SETI in BOINC and then get and install the apps for the OS you are using. They do run much faster.
Lunatics Apps

 

[GLeeM]

There are two apps. Regular and Astropulse.

I see I have mine set to only do regular ones, can't remember if it was because of better pay or less bandwidth.

 

[Assimilator1]

I'm in too now .
So the lun apps are still faster than the BOINC ones?

 

[Assimilator1]

Also, are Astropulse points counted for the race? (I can't remember how Astropulse points are counter for in SETI generally :$).

 

[petrusbroder]

Yes, all points count! As in BOINC!

BTW, let us continue the discussion in one thread only ... the other one. Why not letting this thread just peter out ....
