Just wanted to say hello.....

Since I had a few PC's that either refused to DL new Rosetta WUs and have GPUs sitting idle, I thought I would go ahead and volunteer them to the OCF SETI Team. Guess that means I'll be around for awhile.

to the team, mate Sadly, now isn't the best time to be getting work from SETI, as it's currently undergoing the weekly 3-day data outage (Tuesday-Friday) Having said that, I did just see a couple of tapes being split on the server status page, so if you're lucky, you might be able to pick up 40 or so WU to tide you over until maintenance is over where you can fill up your cache

If you do plan on staying with SETI in the long-run, might I suggest a 4-5day cache? I found that my 3.5 day cache on my i7-960+GTX216 didn't quite last this outage, and I ran out of work yesterday... So I'm crunching Rosetta in the meantime

Anyway, if you need a hand with anything, just let us know

EDIT: Take that back - there seems to be a good 30,000+ WU ready to send, and a quick calculation shows there's ~570,000 WU ready to be split.. so.. Go nuts!

Welcome, glad you can join the fun!

Welcome to the team.

Sad to hear Rosetta is still having problems again but always happy to see a new face over here!


PS
Many of us set SETI to run 90%, or even 99%, and some other BOINC project to run the remaining time. If you do that, and your main project runs out of work, BOINC will switch over automatically.

Anyone else nab some of the WU from the 4.5 year old tapes? 08se06ac, and 09oc06ac (third tape from 8th September 2006, and 9th October 2006)

 

[Pete Church]

Mine are all from 07

 

[Careface]

Ahh Just wondering - I was curious as to why we were getting such old WU.. When we look at the timeline of BOINC, the September 2006 tapes are only about 4months old when taking into account that S@H Enhanced started in May 2006

 

[4GHZ_or_bust]

Most are '11 or '10 but I spotted a few from as far back as Feb '06

Wow, 2 GPU's and I am at 1,000 RAC in a couple days. That really surprises me ....

GPU's will get you alot of Rac.

edit: If you Have a GTX460 that should be good for around 15000+ RAC

Nah, just a couple old ones, a 8600GS and 9800GTX+...
I do have a HD6870, but doesn't seem to be any projects that use them ....lol

6870 can be used by seti.

And so can the 9800GTX and 8600GS With All 3 you could gain close to 20,000 RAC i would think. The 6000's Series ATI are flaky ATM on seti. But if a 5850 Can get 12000 Rac then I would think a 6870 would do better.

This. to the new guys in this thread. We're glad to have y'all aboard.

Just a question, I am getting 4900RAC from a 9800GTX+ but only 1000RAC from a 8600GT. Should I be getting more out of that 8600??
