guys/gals, I've just got this msg from Eagle 'bout their upcoming International SETI Race and he wanna see if any of our folding brother could offer a hand?! remember our SETI brothers had offered a great help on our Monkey Race, so, may be it's a good time to return the favor!!

Quote:

Cross Project Race Opportunity
A group of SETI Crunchers joined in the Folding quest for the golden monkey (is that the right name?). And the Folders expressed an interest/willingness to return the favor for the next SETI race.

An international SETI race is being scheduled for November 4-18. Would you be interested in coordinating the Folders under a single user name for this race?

Link: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=529646

if you are interested in helping them (or returning the favor), just go to the above thread for further detail! (I'll be in for sure!

)

if we have enough folder to join in, may be we all can crunch under one account? e.g. OCFoldingTeam??

NedClocker · 10-01-07, 03:06 PM

Two week race? Sure.

Can we start now? I can't get the new linux client to work fer nuttin.

Adak · 10-01-07, 03:24 PM

Ned, the SETI race won't start until November, so tell me what's going on with your linux client install.

What steps did you take, and what messages are you seeing?

We'll get this sorted out, no worries.

pscout · 10-01-07, 06:00 PM

LS you can count me it ... i will put in 1 less quad than you do ... unless of course i have overtaken you by then

... in which case i will put in 1 more quad than you do

Just make it easy for us seti noobs to get going.

No your can't !

I just posted to your problem thread.

I guess that may have earned me a

muddocktor · 10-01-07, 07:05 PM

Actually the BOINC client is dead easy to set up.

And for crunching name, (OCFoldingTeam was suggested by LS), you will need a password that all of you know to get on the Seti team under the same username. And one thing you will notice is that the Seti stats are much nicer than F@H; you can track each individual computer on your account. This is especially nice for me while at work because I can see right away if a machine goes down and which one it is.

EDIT: Seti is also not nearly as rough on internet bandwidth as F@H too. Your downloads are somewhere between 250-500 kilobytes and uploads are usually less than 50 kilobytes.

Godfather1138 · 10-01-07, 07:11 PM

I can't offer much, but count me in.

belorsch · 10-01-07, 07:28 PM

As of right now I couldn't offer much help but things may be different come Nov 4 so I will contribute what I can.

I will have to be careful then that i don't raise my son's expectations of available bandwidth too much ... he has finally stopped complaining to me when 2 or 3 (or more) clients do a 10-30 mb upload on my adsl connection and he loses a server connection during a heated game

nahmus · 10-01-07, 08:47 PM

I can offer my home farm for the contest. My borgs would be too hard to switch. Will keep an eye on this thread.

Yes, it certainly did. Once again I owe you one more!

lol....at the current rate, you'll have to put at least 2 more quad than me in order to even out!! or give me some breathing room...

yeah, I think when time gets closer, the SETI team should post up some n00b setup guide for most of us! oh Mud or Eagle, can you PM me as to how to create a new account?? you know it's been sooooo long since I've created an account.

davekusa · 10-01-07, 09:50 PM

some PM me when we need to start and what team number and linky for "ET phone home " program.

eaglescouter · 10-01-07, 10:37 PM

I'll help establish your account and I reccomend that the login data for that account be shared only by PM. (Because the password allows for changing of preferences that apply to all clients that connect). I can also assist with installation and upgrading support on the windows side. For *nix we'll need somebody else with knowledge in that area.

nahmus · 10-01-07, 10:45 PM

all my donated clients are windoz

Hack30 · 10-01-07, 11:19 PM

I'll throw in with yuz! Linux . Let me know what i needs to dos.

NedClocker · 10-01-07, 11:25 PM

SETI will run on linux, will it not? 'Cause that's all I've got to speak of.

HaTE · 10-02-07, 12:09 AM

how well would a 1.6GHz sempron do on seti? i've got 3 that i dont use for folding any more that i could add to your race if they'll do any good.

eaglescouter · 10-02-07, 12:12 AM

Yes it will run on *nix.

Anything 1 ghz or better will do the job

I've got a Windows machine, and a FreeBSD 6.2 machine that are not folding; one's an AMD x2 3800 @2ghz, the other is an Intel Pent. D @2.8ghz. I presume that there's a SETI client for Windows; how about FreeBSD? I'll switch some of the Linux quads over also.

SETI on a Mac-tel?

eaglescouter · 10-02-07, 12:50 AM

SETI will run on a mac. FreeBSD? Is that a flavor of *nix? (no clue personally)

Unix, but not Linux. I'll visit the project site and read up. I can switch to Debian on this machine, if necessary.

jerseytomato · 10-02-07, 04:59 AM

I just installed the BOINC manager on one of my windoze rigs to test how Seti runs. I'll be reading some more to see ways to optimize it.

to crunch under OCFoldingTeam, do I just change the name in my account?

seadave77 · 10-02-07, 01:03 PM

I'll be in when it starts.

nahmus · 10-02-07, 02:07 PM

I'd rather join with someone or a folding team id. It does not make sense for me to make an ID that I won't use after the contest.

eaglescouter · 10-02-07, 02:26 PM

The proposal is for the folders to unite under a single id/account. However anybody that has a seti account is certainly welcome to post in the race thread and crunch under their own ID.
