How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

So...how many SETI Data Units have you completed to date?

Data units completed: 1541
Total computer time: 8678 hr 43 min

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

None. Don't have the thing installed. :)

If anyone wants the program, which I assume is what he's talking about, it's at SETI@Home.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Data units completed: 8925
Total computer time: 77045 hr 56 min (so far... :) )

I'm probably going to stop after I get the 10,000 unit certificate.

Data units completed: 191 (My computer is too slow :()
Total computer time: 7432 hr 02 min 04.7 sec

Whoa! Is your account running on multiple computers? All of NASA in on the mix? Heh, that's ALOT of units.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

I ran it for a very short time after a fellow FIRSTer installed it on my other lappy at school. My new zd7000 might handle it better though - does anyone notice lag when running SETI? Any warnings or precautions I should take before installing?

~Thanks :)

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Just doing it for a long time... (and running it on two multi-processor machines)



... and how many other times can you say "25,473rd place just isn't good enough..." :)

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

No lag whatsoever, this having been tested with loads of games, applications, and software. My computer does run funny during Doom 3, but it does it with or without SETI running. :rolleyes:

And Dave, that's pretty awesome! Here's mine---

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Yeah! I just finished my 9000th unit! And moved all the way up to 25,292nd place!

I thought I had signed up for this a long time ago, but I can't find any old e-mails saying what my password and username was and what not..
So I signed up for a new one today.

Estimating how long it took to do 1% of a data packet, I'm guessing I will have the first one done in 4-4.5 hrs. Is that a good time?

I'll post the actual time when I finish the first one.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

I decided to download and run the BOINC program. :rolleyes: I think I'm dense and did something wrong though, it recorded a lot of communication back and forth at the beginning, but then nothing in the past 12 hours. I'll probably end up just installing the SETI Classic.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

4-4.5 hours is pretty amazing. I'm pulling about 5.5 hours on an AMD Athlon XP 3000+.

EDIT: I have a question. Right now, I'm completing Data Units that are about a year behind today. What happens when we catch up to today?

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Yeah um.. I may have grossly over estimated my computer's ability. I went to bed last night expecting to wake up and have the first (and maybe 2nd) packet done, and I have 33% of the first done only and it's been 10 hours..:ahh:

I'm thinking that it doesn't work as hard when my computer went to sleep mode, so I shut that off and we'll see how long the next one takes..:rolleyes:

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Lavery and Aignam put me to shame.

My stats:
869 units, 5040hrs.

Re: How Many SETI Data Units Have You Completed?
 

Is there a FIRST team/group? And can SETI run on a system that is offline? (granted, I'd load 10-20 units at a time!)
