Distributed Bandwidth?

The UC SETI@Home project is starting to take means to reduce their bandwidth. The project is simply getting too big for their resources to handle. It seem logical that they need to "distribute" their bandwidth. Perhaps they could host a few of their web pages around the net or even some of the statistics crunching?

I have offered some web space to Dr.Anderson (Project Director). I'm waiting to get a reply. I'll let everyone know what he says.
 
that aint a half bad idea. and if they did what dnet does (proxy) that would help too, if they do Ill help 😀
 
I read somewhere that the seti people have already contacted several other universities in hopes that some of them will host some servers.🙂
 
Contacting other universities is a great idea! I wish they would have gotten this "idea" about a year ago, but, hey, better late than never...

Not a bad idea. UCSD could probably shoulder some of that load. They've got one of the two national supercomputing centers on-campus (the other being in Pittsburg). What a lab- too bad there isn't a Cray client for DNetC...
 
Dr.Anderson Replied. I don't have the email with me at work, but it was very short and said something like: "Thanks for the offer. I will let you know when we are ready to begin this."

Seems to make sense to me. Why not spread-out a bit? I can understand the data/results should probably remain at UC-B, in the interest of science and control. However, simple HTML pages should be moved off site. It may not be the biggest part of their bandwidth problem, but every bit helps. 🙂
 
Actually the Sparc 10000 is called Starfire, we've got two of 'em at work. 🙂 I just drool to think of the keyrate possibilities. Looks like it was SGI who merged/absorbed Cray. Doesn't look like there's a UNICOS client either. 😛
