SETI@home completes the switch to BOINC
----------------------------------------------------
SETI@home has completed its transition to BOINC (Berkeley Open
Infrastructure
for Network Computing). BOINC, developed at U.C. Berkeley, is a
framework for
volunteer computing projects like SETI@home.

Switching your computer to the new "SETI@home/BOINC" is easy. Visit
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu for instructions. We'll be shutting down
the
"SETI@home Classic" project on December 15. The workunit totals of
users and
teams will be frozen at that point, and the final totals will be
available on
the web.

Scientists at other universities are using BOINC to create volunteer
computing
projects in areas like molecular biology, high-energy physics, and
climate
change study. See http://boinc.berkeley.edu for more information. BOINC
lets
you donate computer time to multiple causes, divided up however you
want. For
example, your PC could spend 40% of its time searching for
extraterrestrial
life (SETI@home), 30% studying climate change
(http://climateprediction.net),
and 30% studying protein folding, design and docking (Rosetta@home:
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/).

You can run SETI@home 100% of the time if you want. But we strongly
encourage
you to participate in other projects. Doing so ensures that when
SETI@home is
down or has no work, your computer stays busy helping other
researchers.

Support SETI@home
----------------------------------------------------
SETI@home is increasingly reliant on individual donations. Without the
support
of individuals like you the project will not be able to continue. We
urge all
SETI@home participants to make a yearly donation to keep the project
going:

Thanks again for your participation in SETI@home.

Vorrei solo aggiungere che oggi, sul SOle 24, ossia in Nova c'è un' articolo che accenna al SETI. :)

E' la mail che stanno inviando a tutti gli iscritti al classic per comunicare che il 15 dicembre verrà chiuso del tutto, per passare definitivamente a BOINC :)

Ne abbiamo già parlato nell'altro topic, comunque lascio questo che è più visibile per gli altri utenti.

Penso che manderemo una mail anche a tutti i membri del team di hwu sul classic per comunicare il passaggio alla nuova piattaforma :)

Ciao,
