SETI Home Search for Alien Life Project Shuts Down After 21 Years

SETI@home has announced that they will no longer be distributing new work to clients starting on March 31st as they have enough data and want to focus on completing their back-end analysis of the data.

SETI@home is a distributed computing project where volunteers contribute their CPU resources to analyze radio data from the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico and the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).

Run by the Berkeley SETI Research Center since 1999, SETI@home has been a popular project where people from all over the world have been donating their CPU resources to process small chunks of data, or "jobs", for interesting radio transmissions or anomalies. This data is then sent back to the researchers for analysis.

In an announcement posted yesterday, the project stated that they will no longer send data to SETI@home clients starting on March 31st, 2020 as they have reached a "point of diminishing returns" and have analyzed all the data that they need for now.

Instead, they want to focus on analyzing the back-end results in order to publish a scientific paper.

"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," their news announcement stated.

Users who wish to continue to run the SETI@home client may do so, but will not receive any new work until the project decides whether they wish to start sending work to clients again.

For those who wish to donate their CPU resources, SETI@home suggests users select another BOINC project that also supports distributed computing.

程序员修炼三部曲丛书包含了四本书,介绍了每个注重实效的程序员和成功团队所必备的一些工具。 注重实效的程序员都会利用反馈来指导开发,并驱动个人的开发流程。编码的时候,最有用的反馈来自于“单元测试”。 为了测试一座桥梁,不会只在晴朗的天气,开一辆汽车从桥中间穿过,就认为已经完成了对桥梁的测试。然而许多程序员却正在使用这种测试方法——把这种一次顺利通过称为“测试”。事实上,注重实效的程序员应......一起来看看 《单元测试之道Java版》 这本书的介绍吧!
