Fermilab SETI@Home Team - Status Updates

Fermilab -- Where we smash atoms, so you don't have to

This page contains a cronological listing (with the most recent updates first) of all the status updates that have been posted to the team's primary webpage. This is presented for those who are curious about how we made the climb to the top of the Top 100 Government Agency Teams list.

Updates:

As of Thus 30 Sept 2004, The Farm Burn-in tests are currently in 43rd place on the list of 100 Top Users submitting work-units. Due to the continued contributions of the team's 59 active members, Fermilab is riding high in 3rd place on the "SETI@home Top 100 Government Agency" site. There are 108 active (which I define as having submitted one or more work units) 'fnal.gov' e-mail addresses submitting work-units to SETI@Home. Our Fermilab team is currently in 130th place (down from 128) on the Top 200 Teams listing. This Top 200 teams list includes all groups from Government, Education, Businesses and Clubs.

As of Tue, 3 Nov. 2000, The Fermilab Farm Burn-in test was completed quite a while ago and has not been running SETI. The FARMS were put into production and have been used for the lab's research efforts. We're just now beginning to test some new equipment and we hope to regain some ground on the top 100 list. The Farm Burn-in is currently listed as being in 50th place on the list of 100 Top Users submitting work-units. Due to the conintued contributions of the team's 41 active members, Fermilab is still in 1rst place on the "SETI@home Top 100 Government Agency" site. There are 80 active (submitted one or more work units) 'fnal.gov' e-mail addresses submitting work-units to SETI@Home.

Mon, 18 Oct 1999: Over this last weekend, the Farms Burn-in test has made the list of 100 Top Users submitting work-units. As of early Monday morning, the test shows as user #79. Listings on that page are for unique e-mail addresses used to submit work-units. This listing is seperate from team listings. I'll post another team listing update on Wed. Hat's off to the Farm Admin. team.

As of Wed, 6 Oct. 1999, the Farms test is up and running and putting out 600 workunits on a good day. Here's the ranking (from "SETI@home Top 100 Government Agency" site):

	 6Oct1999 21:49z   Members  Workunits  CPU-years
        2) NASA               42       13,315     17.08
        3) Fermilab - FOS     13        6,148      7.13
        7) CERN               34        4,286      9.45
        8) NASA Glenn         33        3,562      6.37

As of Wed, 22 Sept. 1999, we have been passed by both NASA and CERN. We expect our Farms Burn-in tests to begin shortly. Here's the ranking (from "SETI@home Top 100 Government Agency" site):

	22Sept1999 20:50z   Members  Workunits  CPU-years
        2) NASA               37       10,762     13.94
        5) CERN               27        3,407      7.71
        6) Fermilab - FOS     12        3,394      3.70
        8) NASA Glenn         33        2,925      5.32

As of Wed, 15 Sept. 1999, we are presently 4th place with 11 team members submitting 3199 work units. We're showing 3.28 CPU years to the team's credit. That put's us two notches above NASA (33 members, 2706 work units, 7.30 CPU Years) and three places ahead of CERN (22 members, 2610 work units, 5.60 CPU Years). The burn in test on the D0 RunII machine has ended and it's hugh contribution to our team total will not be growing as rapidly. The RunII Farms Burn-in tests will begin soon.
As of Mon, 7 Sept. 1999, we have broken into the top 10. We are presently 7th place with 8 team members submitting 2245 work units. We're showing 2.40 CPU years to the team's credit. That put's us two notches above CERN (20 members, 2158 work units, 4.75 CPU Years), one of our High Energy Physics peers. :-)
As of Mon, 30 Aug 1999, we were in 55th place (on the top 100 list) with 5 members submitting a total of 238 work units.
As of Wed., 18 Aug 1999, we were in 33rd place with 4 members submitting work unit credit. Shortly after this, it seemed like a large number of groups joined the government list and I'm not sure what relationship, if any, many of these teams have to government agencies.

Visit the "Fermilab - Friends of SETI@Home" page for the current status of the results submitted by our team members. Check the Top 100 Government Agency Teams page to see our status compared to other sites in our category. You can also check theTop 200 Teams listing. This list includes all groups from Government, Education, Commercial and Clubs.
