BOINC - Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

[SoulIgnitionMusic]

ahhhhh, so we meet again 240p

[LadyBigTruck]

Maquis Forces International has a team for seti@home . If we can help make a difference, we're going to try. :) We think this is a worthwhile cause so we volunteer our computer power to it.

[platyproductions]

folding at home is a lot more worthwhile

[FirebirdWorks]

@platyproductions It is more worthwhile than SETI, but not necessarily BOINC as a whole. BOINC has rosetta@home, which is just as useful for mankind.

[iulian28ti]

finally got it to work

[Setiweb]

Let's keep in mind that BOINC and SETI@home are two different things. BOINC is a software platform. SETI@home is just one of the many projects that runs on BOINC. BOINC is superb in its uses. SETI@home is a poorly run pipe-dream that will never come to fruition. Your CPU/GPU cycles would be much better served crunching one or more of the many different projects that run on BOINC.

[sbergman27]

It's ironic that the project which launched BOINC is, by far, the least stable on the BOINC network. Projects like Einstein@Home and CPDN get by pretty well, despite their huge server loads. But seti@home's servers are (almost) always down, and they're always asking for money to buy new hardware. What's more, other projects produce results. e.g. E@H has found a new binary pulsar, which S@H has tried to do and failed. Don't waste your time with this project until they get their shit together.

Tried it and didnt like it.

I really dont care what I helped,but I wouldnt mind some of my bandwidth and cpu power being used for other stuff than just my torrents because my computer is usually on.

What I wanted was a easy to use, medium settings default and flashy eye candy program that would work in the back ground when I was AFK.

What it felt like was like a installed a vampire that set everything to max, fiddly GUI, crappy eye candy that had optional plug ins that would prevent CPU burn.

The official download site seems to be down.

Dr. David Anderson should not trust Art Bell.

[micprn]

ya look at my super powerful 10 mb 0 core 2 mhz computer its SOO AWSOME

Certificate of Computation - SETI@HOME_BONIC_AMIT

[Darkmoon0999]

Hi, I have downloaded BOINC, and so i just wait and the pc dos all the work? aslo i have a question, can we choose 2 proyects? i tried but it says fail system, why?

Also I would like to see how is the developing of the cause.

thank you.

[Setiweb]

You can set your preference to only crunch multibeam seti and ignore astropulse.

[TheCaptainLulz]

I loved the old program, but the astropulse was bogging down the rest of my projects. If you had the old program I'd load it again.

[loch2hot]

so do scientists use volunteers computers for their memory, so they can run alot of services and processes, ooor what .

[rbolo29]

I hope they get funding for building the Allen Telescope Array(ATA) to 360 parabolic dishes. this year in 2009.

[atlaschooty]

really awesome.... finally

[jokinhas77]

I use BOINC in order to help life sciences research projects. I run BOINC and World Community Grid clients in all my computers at home, work and my friends and familly PCs.

[blobrana]

Quite good.

[AlmightScoop]

I'd love to have that sort of comuting power. It'd be too difficult to parallelise for studying neural networks, but enumeration and statistical analysis of other emergent phenomena, it would be a dream come true for arteficial intelligence.

[AlmightScoop]

SETI stands for 'search for extraterrestrial intelligence'. It trawls through masses of astronomical data looking for patterns that couldn't have been caused by known natural phenomena.

[predatora]

I am making compute to my dual core PC at maximum processing capacity of one cpu for SETI, LCHatHOME and FoldingHome projects.

[x01a4]

I don't like SETI. But it's up to you what you want to compute for!

I like projects that helps medical progress: Like POEM@Home.

[thorekz]

:)

SETI!

[swiftyzor]

SETI FTW!

[ufodbase]

Woohoo!!! Go SETI!!!

[john37309]

This is a very good video Misfit. I have linked to it several times. It explains what the project does very well. It is good to see Dr. David Anderson speeking.

Thank you.

John.

[arroway06]

Great!!! I was hard to find some Seti videos here, thanks a lot. I participate on 2 BOINC proyects, Seti@home and Rosetta@home; and I always participate on their official forums. Greetings!
