Llamasoft seti group...

Bleatings all. Long time no type...

News from the Llamasoft seti group. Some place changes have been going on. I've been pushed down to 4th place as moobaa moves on up to 3rd. But the big challenge is for 1st place. Seems Clavius has been working overtime and has managed to make a big dent in the gap between himself and Guy.

Ok, so it's not the most jaw dropping of action, but we use what we get...

Oh, and I just broke the 1000 block mark... ** YAY **

So come on, get the client and get crunching.

Argh, almost forgot the link...

Congratewelations on the 1K mark, skar

To all recent Llamasofties: Come and join our fluffy SETI group - Just follow skar's link (above)

@ skar: Where can I get the non-GUI version of SETI v3? I have heard that it runs much faster.

The command line version can be found here: ftp://alien.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/setiat ... mdline.exe

Congrat-ewe-lations, skar, on the 1K

About time you updated the stats, too

For those who don't know, Clavius is our very own dtj, and Guy Simmons is Gus.

I think

Hmmm.... has an influx of YakYakking SETI-ers caused the SETI server to crash, I wonder?

I'd do it but I'd get whined at by the powers that be. Maybe when I get my own place... Eventually.

W00t, 5 new members!

Nice average time, ophion - what hardware do you have doing the crunching?

I am currently using an Athlon XP 1900+. It actually takes about three and a half hours for a work unit, so the average is dropping steadily. Before that I used a 733 MHz G4, which took just over five hours per unit, and a 550 MHz Ultrasparc, which took almost seven hours per unit.

Bah! Falling behind at a rapid rate. But then, losing my DSL at around December 16th didn't help

Must set up DSL again, then I can get back at it!

Niiiiice

The first work unit I did on my dual 1Ghz P3 took a snip over 3 hours. No idea why it was so fast, but the average has bloated somewhat since then

I dont run SETI any more, but moobaa if you've got a dual CPU you can run 2 instances of the command line version

Yep, been doing that for a month or so now (only discovered that it doesn't use multiple threads when task manager only indicated that half my CPU grunt wasn't used

)

Just joined, so that's another 100 or so units to the total.
I haven't 'seti-ed' for ages tho' : my stats page says nearly 18 months since my last returned unit...me bad

Setting up command line version on my redhat box, and another on this windows machine I'm using right now. Can't connect to their server at the minute tho'
