SETI@home

[Rikku]

Anyone run this? Just got into it a few days ago, nice way to put my cluster to use! Maybe we could make a daremo.org team!?

I've not tried it myself but there's also Folding @ Home (http://folding.stanford.edu/). I would think, with your cluster, you'd be a valuable asset mate!

I don't do it myself as I'm a low power user - everything get's turned off/goes to low power mode when not it use. I dread to think what your electricity bill must be!

I looked at Folding@home, but SETI@home was much easier to run on a cluster, also I think looking for aliens is kinda cool! :) We just worked out that running it for a day costs just over 10GBP, quite a lot! Might ship it over to the barracks where I don't have to pay! Haha

Don't do it,
The cobblestones start coming in then you just can't stop!

Seriously, when you're on the bus on your Mac running BOINC to search for aliens complaining that your 5 hour battery is only giving you 1 hours life which will never last long enough to finish the next work unit.....SETI has stolen your life.

You telling me that your cluster is running at £10 sterling a day ?? I'm surprised that the cops ain't turned up at your doorstep yet, thinking your running a grow op or something :-)

Plus the heat that builds up in that room, when the openning the window is forgotten about. I'm sure we must be under surveallance.

Wouldn't surprise me at least!
