Are you participating in the SETI Project

[Reddwarf]

For years now my two testrigs have been contributing to the SETI project (running Astropulse) when not used for testing. There are litterally millions of pc's with free capacity thet could be used by this project. Are you participating?

Edit: If your answer is no, maybe you could leave a comment about why not?

[speising]

not anymore. since the advent of the HLT instruction, there is no "free capacity" anymore.

^^^ I prefer my PCs to go to sleep when not in use to reduce energy consumption and noise.

yeah, same here... there's no such thing as unused CPU cycles any more. if I ran one of those distributed computing projects, my cpu's would be clocked up to full speed all the time, fans howling, heat pumping out (though that wouldn't be so bad in our brief winter).

Years ago I did run Prime95 for awhile, and was looking to switch to SETI or Folding@home but decided it wasn't worth it.

I contribute my extra 2.8 Pentium4 cycles to the Folding@home project and run my CPU at 100% 24/7.

I used to run around 600 machines screensavers with an old one.
Power saving is a much greater priority now.
