SETI Enhanced: not the SETI @ Home you are accustomed to...

Indeed no. s@h enhanced is indeed different and does much deeper analysis. The volume of space searched is much greater for whatever equivalent sensitivity compared to s@h-classic.


1. With the original SETI version one could finish up to 20% to 30% of a work unit in the first 5 to 10 minutes of CPU time. This is no longer true. The same amount of CPU time gets you about ~0.55% of the way thru an "Enhanced" work unit's search.

Sorry but you don't make sense there. s@h-enhanced does a lot more calculations and so takes longer to process a WU.


2. Faulty bugs left in from SETI @ Home : If you are not a member of a team, SETI Enhanced should suppress the printing out of "Team: " on the screen.

Please post this as a bug if you consider this to be a bug.


3. The program still does not indicate what point of the sky the work unit comes from: this in spite of the existence of more than adequately suitable EINSTEIN @ Home star display data.

Then please help the developers with this.


4. Starfield: the number of stars should be set at 100 (or less), with +100 ... -100 for speed.

???

Sorry but I don't use the fancy graphics. 100 - 100 = 0 so no stars there for you... Or what are you trying to say?

You can't adjust the display settings, most importantly: you can't import display settings from your main SETI account.

Is not that website only a bare minimum just to interface to the test systems?


Happy crunchin',
