“Men and Women wanted for a hazardous distributed computing Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Low wages, bitter false positives, long hours of data crunching, overheating CPU's and GPUs. Safe return doubtful without caffeinated beverages. Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection.” – ErnestShackleton@setiathome.berkeley.eduProject https://setiathome.berkeley.edu Servers' Status https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_server_status.php Data Transfers (recent snapshot) https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/kiosk/ Is SETI@home Down ? https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/setiathome.berkeley.edu.html
“It is in our nature to explore, to reach out into the unknown. The only true failure would be not to explore at all.” -- Sir Ernest Shackleton (Feb. 15, 1874 - Jan. 5, 1922)LINKS
March 1st, 2019 - Happy 20th birthday, SETI@home ! On 1999/05/17, SETI@home was publicly/officially lauched. But of course, it was already up and running on March 1st, 1999 http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/classpages/index.html - if not before -, hence this new thread, the Welcome to the 20 Year Club! https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83966 See ya - soon, too soon - there :) [Welcome to the 19 Year Club! https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=82917 Previous Years' Clubs! https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81334&postid=1862566]
2019.03.01 21H UTC - Download server glitch - "We had a problem with one of our download servers that was slowing down downloads and slowing down work generation. We've fixed the problem, but there are lots of people out there trying to download. It'll probably be a while before our downloads aren't swamped with requests.Work ready to send has started trending back up, so we shouldn't end up with a work shortage." https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83972&postid=1982953#1982953
2019.03.02 22H EST - The servers have been offline most of the time since then - outage expected to last until the Berkeley staff resumes work on monday
