BOINC: SETI beta news

[TAandy]

From David Anderson on the BOINC mailing list

"We're in the process of adding a SETI@home application to the beta test.
At this point we have the application compiled only for SPARC/Solaris,
but we should have Windows and linux/x86 versions in a couple of days.

This has introduced a new problem: the SETI@home work units,
which can't get sent anywhere (we have only a few Solaris hosts)
are preventing Astropulse work units from getting sent.
This is why everyone is getting "no work" messages.
This will be fixed shortly.

-- David"

Thanks for the update

Sir Ulli

 

[Coolkid]

Thanks TAandy

Thanks for the update

So S@H2 will be in beta soon!

 

[JWMiddleton]

With the fight to keep 6th place it will hard for any of us to make the move! One slip up and BBR will be all over us.

 

[Assimilator1]

I reckon we should stick to S@H1 til the end ,or at least most of us

 

[Spacehead]

There's a new article from TPS about BOINC/S@H here

Hey thanks for the update

Currently BOINC is in its "Beta testing" phase, meaning that it is being tested by a limited number of users who are running the program on their computers. Within the next two months David Anderson and his team hope to expand this select group of volunteers from several hundred to around ten thousand.

The article is dated 25th Sept ,so we can expect S@H2 to go 'larger scale' Beta sometime before the end of November ,which I think is a month latter than they originally said!

Looks like we can keep crunching for at least 1-2 more months on sETI 1

Not sure what you mean Ulli, I'm doing Astropulse on my P3 800 and it downloaded four WU's today. I checked earlier and I was down to one, now I'm up to five waiting.

 

[SirUlli]

this is my P4 2.4C running at 12 x 250 every WU at 5 Hours , but no new WUs since yesterday, so this Computer is out

You're right, just checked and all the units were downloaded yesterday, 25th.
Sorry about that

 

[SirUlli]

the information politics from Berkely are not the "best" ones.

so only a massive Attack from all Forums can clean this

just my thougths

How would we get to be a Beta S@H2 tester anyway?

Good luck on your goal Sir Ulli
