SETI running out of WUs ?

[Maggi]

Hi Folks,

[Maggi]

ROFL

[Jorden]

Hmmm, can't do that while it's crunching

[Maggi]

Why not ?

do you use the scrensaver ?

[Helevitia]

yeah, I've been noticing the same thing. the last 20 or so have all been in April.

[Maggi]

Wow ... and then ?

Maybe they start resending all their WUs for validating.

[Jorden]

It might be WU's that aren't processed, Maggi

I think they give you a week these days.

[Maggi]

nope, Jord ..

the ones I subimtted today were from February.

The dates I posted above are in the WUs I got in return.

[Jorden]

okay, I just checked and mine is from April 9th

[Rattledagger]

Well, if you take a look on the server status page, you see they are readying December 1998, alongside April this year.

[Assimilator1]

Mine are from this April as well!

[Helevitia]

Here is what the Server Status page reads:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Current Splitter Tapes

We are currently splitting data taken from the days below into work units:

19 December 1998 (aa)
09 April 2000 (aa)
15 April 2000 (aa)
15 April 2000 (ab)
16 April 2000 (aa)

The parathentical letters reflect order of data collection. Since we frequently fill more than one tape per day, we tag tapes with a set of two characters reflecting its sequence. We start with "aa," then "ab," and so on.

Hmm, what do we do if SETI has no more WU's or stops work for ever? Will there be a "Matroxusers RC5 Team"? Or will we calculate the weather or search for the next prime number?
