[email protected] hibernation
On March 31, the volunteer computing part of
[email protected] will stop distributing work and will go into hibernation.
We're doing this for two reasons:
1) Scientifically, we're at the point of diminishing returns; basically, we've analyzed all the data we need for now.
2) It's a lot of work for us to manage the distributed processing of data. We need to focus on completing the
back-end analysis of the results we already have, and writing this up in a scientific journal paper.
However,
[email protected] is not disappearing. The web site and the message boards will continue to operate. We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of
[email protected] for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens,
[email protected] will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this.
If you're currently running
[email protected] on your computer, we encourage you to attach to
other BOINC-based projects as well. Or use
Science United and sign up to do astronomy. You can stay attached to
[email protected], of course, but you won't get any jobs until we find new applications.
We're extremely grateful to all of our volunteers for supporting us in many ways during the past 20 years. Without you there would be no
[email protected] We're excited to finish up our original science project, and we look forward to what comes next.
