Astropulse is a new type of data analysis. Where MultiBeam looks for narrow signal, Astropulse is more of a broadband search of the data. This type of search requires more computing power and takes about the same amount of time that it used to take to analyze Seti Classic on the computers of the time.

The Duration Correction Factor needs to be different for AP and SETI, and it currently isn't.
