Get Seti for massive computing project

The creator of the world's largest distributed computing project SETI@home was in Australia this week spruiking local participation in his supercomputing vision.

Speaking at the Australian Centre for Advanced Computing and Communications in Sydney, SETI@home founder David Gedye revealed fundraising efforts were under way to establish a data collection centre out of Parkes (in central west NSW) which would operate as a local Australian chapter for the project.

"We are still awaiting for the final go-ahead for the Southern SETI@home project which will allow us to observe much more," he said.

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers and is most famous for its involvement in the 'Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).'

But unfortunately for X-Files fans there has been no contact with "aliens so far", Gedye joked.

The distributed computing project, which has been driven by public participation, is the world's most powerful supercomputer. SETI@home is operating at 66 teraflops - well ahead of the most powerful commercial supercomputer, NEC's Earth Simulator which operates at 35 teraflops.

Established in 1999 when it attracted 100,000 participants in its first month, Gedye said grid computing was one of the catalysts for the project, which has about half a million active users.

Calling it "public participation science", Gedye said it is these kinds of projects that can change the way science is viewed.

A few years ago, he said, many companies were formed to try and adopt the SETI@home idea as a business model.

"This was a failed grid business model as it expected people to donate their resources for commercial gain; the current grid business model involves selling platform software to big business," Gedye said.

Referring to software infrastructure, he said the project will move to a new platform launching SETI@home 2 in the next few months.

"SETI will be moving to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform which is open source, more secure, fault-tolerant, and can support multiple projects," Gedye said. "The current SETI implementation has had problems with hackers transmitting false readings."

得到Seti 为大计算的项目

世界的最大的分配计算项目SETI@home 的创作者是在澳洲这个星期spruiking 地方参与他supercomputing 的视觉。

讲话在先进的计算和通信的澳大利亚中心在悉尼, SETI@home 创建者大卫Gedye 显露的筹款的努力实施中将建立搜集数据中心在会经营作为一个地方澳大利亚章节为项目的Parkes 外面(在中央西部NSW) 。

"我们仍然等候为最后的批准为将允许我们观察更多的南部的SETI@home 项目," 他说。

SETI@home 是使用互联网被连接的计算机的一个科学实验并且是最著名的为它的介入在' 查寻地球外的智力(SETI) 。'  

但不幸地为风扇那里是没有联络与"外籍人到目前为止" 的X 文件, Gedye 耍笑了。

分配计算项目, 被公开参与驾驶了, 是世界的最强有力的巨型计算机。SETI@home 经营在66 teraflops - 很好在最强有力的商业巨型计算机, NEC 的经营在35 teraflops 的地球模拟器之前。

1999 年建立它吸引了100,000 个参加者在它的第一个月, Gedye 说的栅格计算是催化剂的当中一个为项目, 有关于50 万激活用户。

称它"公开参与科学", Gedye 认为这是可能改变方式科学被观看的这些项目。

几岁月前许多公司, 他说, 被建立尝试和采取SETI@home 想法作为商业模式。

"这是一个未通过的栅格商业模式因为它盼望人捐赠他们的资源为商业获取; 当前的栅格商业模式介入卖平台软件对大笔生意, "Gedye 说。

参见软件基础设施, 他说项目将行动向一个新平台发射SETI@home 2 在今后几个月。

"SETI 行动向伯克利开放基础设施为是开放来源, 更加安全, 容错, 和可能支持多个项目," Gedye 说的网络计算的(BOINC) 平台。"当前的SETI 实施有有黑客的问题传送假的读书。"
