SETI@Home and other distributed computing projects

I've had SETI@Home running forever and just added Einstein@Home and realized that there was no ILX team. This has now been rectified...

I would, but I already run Folding @ Home ( here ) for the 43Things team. Mr. Jaq was running Einstein@Home for awhile after we visited the LIGO - it has a much better screensaver than F@H.

Although - can you run simultaneous distributed projects? I thought I was limited to one.

― Jaq, Saturday, 7 April 2007 00:18 (eighteen years ago)

I might run one of these. Do they cause any noticeable slowdown?

― Rock Hardy, Saturday, 7 April 2007 00:47 (eighteen years ago)

Just joined up. I've been running this for a while now too but how the hell do I have more credit than Elvis T.?!?!

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 April 2007 01:06 (eighteen years ago)

Bump. Join us, join us...

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 April 2007 14:52 (eighteen years ago)

I'm in.

― Lingbert, Saturday, 7 April 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

I read DISTURBED computing projects and thought, gee SETI @ home is relatively innocuous, innit?

― Abbott, Saturday, 7 April 2007 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

It can be both.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 April 2007 17:44 (eighteen years ago)

what's the benefit to having an ilx team?

― teeny, Saturday, 7 April 2007 17:50 (eighteen years ago)

Doesn't seem like there are any benefits per se, more just sorta fun:

never mind, obviously the point is to knock "TEAM ART BELL" out of the top ten.

― teeny, Saturday, 7 April 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

It looks like the team statisitics only accumulate from when the team was founded.

one month passes...

Ned has a lot of credits.

― Lingbert, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 00:35 (eighteen years ago)

I do? *checks* Holy fuck, I do!

see my paranoid comment there

Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case

― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 12 June 2008 19:33 (sixteen years ago)

Chris, I had thought about this earlier, and just now signed up for SETI. I can see the ILX group, and am logged in, but the 'join this group' link to click on is nowhere to be found. Any idea?

― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 12 June 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago)

to be fair CA keys are usually 16384

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Thursday, 12 June 2008 22:22 (sixteen years ago)

Forget my earlier post, the join link showed up.

four years pass...

seven years pass...

And we're done

Thanks to the many volunteers who have helped crunch data for SETI@home in the last two decades. On March 31, the project will stop sending out new work to users, but this is not the end of public engagement in SETI research. pic.twitter.com/P0t0v8w7n4

We reached out like a single drop in an ocean of time washing over us. But reach out, we did. RIP.

Aliens got into your machines, read the politics threads and noped on past.
