Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I recently built two computers to try to catch up to some of the highest ranking computers on the list. I started running seti@home in 2001 but took a break for about 12 years because my computer was so slow I was making almost no headway. I did less than 1000 seti@home classic units in a little over two years. With my new rigs, I have done over 1.25 million units in less than four months. How's that for technology upgrades! Lol
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
