What is Boinc?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

In the next few days I'll be done with a long VHS to DVD conversion project at home so I'll be able to install SETI@Home again on my system.

I notice a Classic and a Boinc version, what is this Boinc?

Also, where is the page that tells me what to download to get started on SETI again?

Information On Boinc can be found Here

and info on Seti Boinc can be found Here

If you any problem with the info or have a hard time understanding this stuff......just post back.

We have a few people that are really up on Boinc.

Basically, BOINC is a new platform that many different projects can run from, including the next version of S@H. When the BOINC version of SETI is ready to handle a couple hundred thousand users pretty much bug free then the "classic" version of SETI will be shut down.

You can choose to run whichever project you want, but why not help out the "Classic" team regain 5th place before it's over, which is looking sooner than later by the looks of this thread.

BOINC is the sound cartoon kangaroos make as they hop to and fro.

Welcom to SETI.

If someone switches from classic to seti boinc do those unit count towards Team Anandtechs stats or are S@H classic and seti boinc so different that they don't coincide?

BOINC is using Cobblestones and "classic" wu, these isn't directly comparable so all is starting at zero again in BOINC.

Thanx, I've been hearing all this stuff about Classic being shut off, and was considering swiching to boinc, but want to wait so my WU's count toward TA.:beer:
