What is SETI@home?
SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected
computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You
can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes
radio telescope data.
A few years ago, I used to run the SETI@home program on my desktop computer. That was a really old computer. I'm thinking about setting it up again on my current system which is running Windows Vista.
How SETI@home will use your computer
When you run
SETI@home on your computer, it will use part of the computer's CPU
power, disk space, and network bandwidth. You can control how much of
your resources are used by SETI@home, and when it uses them.
The work done by your computer contributes to the goals of SETI@home, as described on its web site. The application programs may change from time to time.
I'd like to hear from anyone that is using the SETI@home program on their computer.
Take care,
The Conspiracy Diva
