SETI@Home - Continuation

[Guyver]

Ok, What happened with the original thread. At the bottom it says the thread is 2 pages long. If I click on the 2, it goes to an empty page (it has headers, footers, but is devoid of anything material).

And the last post was about a DOS version. There is no DOS version, just a command line version that runs under windows.

Did Ant ever answer about how many machine he's running it on?

I've only got it on 3 machines.... need more power!!

[Ant]

Hmm trying to sort out the problem with these multiple page threads.

Didn't see the end of it what was the question how many machines am I running SETI on?

Erm 2 here at work and 2 at home although the PIII@585 is running 6 CLI versions

*sigh* o.k. well, hmm, got a confession to make people.

I decided that perhaps having 2 matrox cards Vs 1 3d-Now chip, ment I should be better off switching over to the Matrox group, so here I am, give me a couple of days to get all of the computers switched.

Silently renamed setiathome to some other obscure command that normally runs on our 4 processor UNIX system.... Now I've got 4 additional sessions running @ work...

Heh-Heh-Heh!! They aren't as fast as my home system or my work PC, but the numbers still add up!

------------------
Running an ABIT BE6, PIII-450 @ 600Mhz, 128MB (128x1) PC133HSDRAM (running @ 133), Matrox Mystique G200 8MB, SBLive! Full Retail, Adaptec AHA-2940UW (Dual Channel)
All kinds of other SCSI and ATAPI goodies....

Waiting for my G400Max Very Impatiently, Having already maxed system performance to give it a good home.....

SteveC: hiya

yep, now i know there's no dos version, but before i didn't know. that was my post asking about that

btw, good tip Buuri, now i'm down to 12 hrs/unit instead of 15.

8¬)
*wondering how useful a couple of old sub 50mhz 486s will be... if i can ever get them all strung together*

[Colin Morey]

If your going to do that, you _might_ want to look at this
<A HREF="http://www.rarcoa.com/~thebard/teambeowulf.epl"> Linux Beowolf RC5 </A>

that if you want to take the jump.

If only they'd hurry up and release a version that supports proxy authentication, I'd have about 4 more machines to run it on. I can only run it on my machine at home right now. D'Oh!

[Colin Morey]

Hiyas, Ant.
one small thing. but you may find that running 6 copies at once is not a good idea, if its because your completing them too fast, and don't want to dial up, then hwy not run them off a batch file, with the _stop_after_process switch.

The reason I say is, think about how much wasted time it takes to switch from one process to another. (even turning off the clock on the title bar can make a difference).

Well, what you can do, is to copy the executable, and run it a couple of times in different folders at home, then copy each of the folders, and take them to work.

Slow and tedious I know, but its one work around

Could the server be down again, at SETI@Home?? I've been trying to send my results for the past hour, but all it says is "attempt to connect timed out without establishing a connection" ... grrrrrrrrr...

It did that yesterday as well...

Okay, anybody else have problems with it??

No.
