Space Forum / SETI / May 2004BOINC for dummies?
I've read what little there is on BOINC on the seti homepage, now can somebody direct me to a good explanatory website? Do we have any real idea of when this will happen? Will some people still use the old seti app, or will wu processed with it not be accepted? TIA, Chakolate  SignatureIn mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them. --Johann von Neumann > I've read what little there is on BOINC on the seti homepage, now can > somebody direct me to a good explanatory website?

There is a main course: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ In the Status area you will find a link to the beta test site of BOINC.

After Boinc is up and running full time and everything is deemed okay by the Seti Team the old Seti will be shutdown. At the same time, or their abouts, all of the beta clients will also be refused connections, everyone will then be processing Seti thru the release version of Boinc. Boinc has the flexibility to be used by many other distributed processing programs, like climate predictions, drug searches, protein folding, Astropluse, the examination of black holes, the examination of more of the sky than the current Seti, etc, etc. No there is no official date for the switchover to the release version of Boinc. The beta testing is progressing and some testers are predicting a month or so, but some have said that before and that month has come and gone.

While I get the impression things aren't set in stone, my understanding is that after M1 (release), there will still be Alpha and Beta to test clients before they hit the public. In essence, I think there will be three Berkeley-run projects, Alpha, Beta, and Release. :-) Only time will tell, though.

True but the Beta testers will have to upgrade to the release version in order to not be Beta testers anymore, or at the very least sign onto a new project. To continue being Alpha or Beta testers the project could also change. I agree that for the forseeable future Alpha and Beta testing will continue. At least for as long as there is more that the Scientists want to be analyze. > Here is a how to site that seems well written: > http://homepage.mac.com/pauldbuck/site-boinc/oman-web/web-over.html Thanks.
