This is all new to me. Here's hoping to a successful test run to an eventual puplic release. :)

Happy New Year! SETI@home Enhanced 5.0 is released (and will go to public if no problems show up). Still no graphics on Linux due to dynamic symbols not being properly exported. If any Linux hackers want to take a whack at it, please do.


i just got the new optimised client 5.0

i will inform you what is going on ...

The reason the most recent tape was split was around March 05 is not because we have a huge backlog of data - it's because we couldn't afford any more DLT tapes and stopped recording data around that time. Plus all our old DLT drives are broken - we have only one left up here at the lab that reasonably works - that's what I use to read these old data tapes.

I think I have about 50 tapes left in my pile to split. At the current "burn rate" this should last about a month.

However! We are releasing SETI enhanced, which should slow everything down, and this current set of data should last many more months - hopefully long enough to get the new data recorder down to Arecibo and get that all working.

And! Due to one reason or another we do have many tapes that were split and sent out but we have only about 10% scientific return - so we may throw those back into the pipeline if we otherwise run out of workunits to send out.

Probably because the number of "flops" was the same ... I s this not the version which really calculates the number of floating point operations? Then the credits should be the same for identical WUs and the completion times should be different....Slower computer, longer time, less total credit (in a month or so...) Please correct me if I am wrong! :Q

Yes, the point of "flops-counting" is that different computers should still get the same claimed credit for same wu.

A quick look on this wu reveals total variation in claimed credits was 0.0042%. :cool:

More generally the results from beta indicates ocassionally 1% variation in claimed credit, but more common seems to be less than 0.1% variation.

We've released SETI@home Enhanced version 5.05. The results will probably differ from 5.02, so I've cancelled outstanding workunits and am updating credits. It'll probably take a few days for credits to catch up.

So ... is this a BETA ONLY release or is this a GOLD/PRODUCTION release to everyone?

Thanks
