In May 1999 researchers from the Berkeley SETI Research Center outed its SETI@home distributed computing project, which sought the help of the public's computers to process radio signals in hopes of finding signs of alien life forms. The project has been running for nearly 21 years, but this week the researchers announced it is shutting it down on March 31.
On the SETI@home home page , the Berkeley researchers said the project was going into "hibernation" because
Amazon told GeekWire on Wednesday that an employee who worked from its Seattle headquarters tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this week.
The employee reportedly went home sick on February 25 before testing positive for COVID-19 at a later date. Amazon told GeekWire it is "supporting the affected employee who is in quarantine" and that it notified other workers of the diagnosis.

"Due to concerns around the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with health guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other health authorities, we have decided to cancel the physical Google I/O event at Shoreline Amphitheatre," reads the tech giant's I/O page .
It appears that 2020 and 2021 are going to be long years for Intel. CFO George Davis presented at the Morgan Stanley conference yesterday covering a wide range of topics, but noted that despite being "undoubtedly in the 10nm era," the company felt that it would not reach process parity with competitors until it produces the 7nm node at the tail end of 2021. Davis also said that Intel wouldn't regain process leadership until
The Corsair Vengeance 6182 Gaming PC is an all-AMD machine with standardized parts, though the company makes some more powerful options for less money.
The budget-friendly Shadow Rock 3 brings decent memory clearance and excellent thermal performance to midsize CPU cooling from be quite! Available now for $50, it’s hard to beat the combination of handsome looks and performance value.
The Coronavirus is causing lots of problems around the world, and it can feel a bit unfair that many of us are home living our lives, unable to help. However, that doesn't mean we can't do anything. Folding@Home announced that it is taking the fight to the Coronavirus , and you can donate your computer's leftover processing resources to help researchers find a cure.
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project run by the Stanford University,
AMD is currently the only vendor with both x86 processors and discrete graphics cards under one roof, at least until Intel's Xe graphics roll out, giving Team Red some flexibility with its interconnect technology. This tech has been particularly useful in the world of high-performance computing (HPC), as evidenced by an AMD presentation at the Rice Oil and Gas HPC conference yesterday.
AMD initially announced at its Next Horizon event in 2018 that it would extend the Infinity
Honeywell plans on launching the world's most powerful quantum computer, it announced this week. The company made this claim based on the promised “quantum volume” of 64, which it said is double what the best quantum computer can deliver right now.
Honeywell didn't specify, but it seems that quantum computer in question belongs to IBM , which invented the term quantum volume and in January said it hit a quantum volume of 32.
“Quantum computing will enable us to
An Nvidia graphics card with a huge core count was apparently benchmarked with Geekbench 5 before any official announcement from the manufacturer, as spotted by a Twitter user . We were already taken aback by two unidentified Nvidia graphics cards last week listed with 7,552 and 6,912 CUDA cores. But this latest finding is mind-blowing, with the CUDA core count allegedly reaching 7,936.
Since this is hardware that Nvidia hasn't even confirmed yet,
