过渡计划:
SETI@home is switching to BOINC, a platform for distributed computing. There are now two separate projects:
SETI@home Classic (the original)
SETI@home/BOINC (the new one)
These projects are doing the same scientific work, though SETI@home/BOINC will evolve to do new science.
Each project has its own account database. Some BOINC accounts are linked to a Classic account, and show the work done (results, CPU hours) by that Classic account.
NOTE: your Classic account will be linked to your BOINC account only if your Classic account has a valid email address (i.e. one where you can receive email) before the final cutover date (see below).
The plan for the transition is as follows:
14 May 2004
We made a 'snapshot' of Classic user information (accounts, teams, profiles) and used it to initialize the SETI@home/BOINC database. A BOINC account must be 'validated' (by responding to an email sent to the account's email address) before it can be used. The BOINC accounts created at this time remain linked to the Classic account, even if the email address of either account is changed.
22 June 2004
We made SETI@home/BOINC available for general use.
16 March 2005
We updated the BOINC database with current information from Classic. Classic accounts created since 14 May 2004 were linked to the BOINC account having the same email address, if it existed; otherwise a new BOINC account was created with that email address (see technical details below).
To be announced
Account creation is disabled on Classic.
To be announced
We stop creating workunits for Classic.
To be announced (1 April 2005 or later)
We turn off the data server for Classic. Classic will no longer send workunits or accept results. Functions to update account information are disabled. We update the BOINC account database with current information from SETI@home Classic one final time. At this point the Classic statistics are frozen (though we may continue to eliminate 'cheaters').
