Seti Hosts?

Is there a way of finding out what pc has done x amounts of units ?

Hope that makes sense, it's early

Number of times client has contacted divided by 2 will give a very rough approximation, but it's skewed out by SETI downtime so if the host has been around a while you might have to divide by 3 or 4. Cobblies / 50 will give a rough guide as well.

SETI doesn't maintain a WU count so that's the best you can do.

You can find out how many results each computer has completed and the credits accrued by each computer in Your Computers at b0rkely

Cheers Guys, i'll have a look at that when i get back home. I havent got my account key handy

Credits yes, but not results. That only counts current work plus 24 hours.

Install something like BoincLogX which will track WU's on all projects for you.

It doesn't work retorspectively though.

From: http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/

On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, Classic SETI@home sent out its last workunit. On December 22, we stopped receiving results. The current SETI@home project is up and running. Please join us! The new software uses the BOINC distributed computing platform, which enables your computer to work on other scientific endeavors like SETI@home if you wish. We could all use your CPU cycles! It's easy to switch over - just follow the instructions on the new SETI@home web site. We hope to see everyone there!

After the last result is received, the stats for this project will be frozen but will continue to be available on the web. It may take several weeks to clean everything up and syncronize the classic stats with the current SETI@home project.

Thanks to all original SETI@home participants for their tremendous dedication to the project. You made SETI@home into something of lasting significance.

Oh yes and we won!

wahey there i am in 278 place with 5112 results

What happened to the ministry?

Not sure, they always were a bit "mysterious" and I don't think the way boinc works fitted in well with the way they had their datacenters setup (which used SetiQ I think)

Wonder if we'll ever see them come back?
