In response to Armin Lenz's editorial located at http://fullon3d.com/opinionated / I wrote the following letter to Mr. Lenz, his reply has been posted on the bottom. Please post your opinions on this subject, whether there should be a petition, maybe a formal withdrawal by Team 3DNOW! or just vent any pent up anger you might have about this. I would like to personally thank you for the editorial you wrote about the Seti@HOME project. I was aware of some of the facts you touched on but definitely not all of them. I think you must have based your example on me because I have let my computer (both of them) run through the night in Jeffrey Smith Jeffrey, You're welcome .. I too run my boxes day and night to get the team forward and it ticks me off to suffer the extra heat in my bedroom during a heatwave like we currently have, as well as the noise of 3 harddisks and 6 fans running all the time. I'd appreciate if you cared to post your thoughts here on the message board for the article so the SETI@Home folks can read it too, since it is them we need to convince - you're preaching to the choir with me A.

I decided for myself to pause my SETI@Home submissions for the time being until they improve their efficiency. I am now running the RC5 on the Celeron 450 (31 minuts/block) and the K6-III/400 (1 hour/block) so I'll make it back to 3rd place on the team I am currently building a cheap SMP machine for Linux based off 366 MHz Celerons (yeah I know but there is no AMD SMP box out yet and I doubt they want to give me one for $350 once they got it finished), which I will then decide for what to run, SETI or RC5 .. I think from the memory speed aspect it would be good for SETI. IP: Logged |
