SETI@home (also known as SETI@home II, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, the search for extraterrestrial life form) is the successor of the most well-known DC project SETI@home Classic and should differ in essentials from its predecessor. Even today, with a 50% share of all (!) BOINC credits, it is by far the largest BOINC project. The output surpasses the second-ranked World Community Grid by a good 300%.

SETI@home Classic uses the Radio Telescope in Arecibo for about 1/3 of the observed sky, but only on the Northern Hemisphere. For SETI@home II the use of the Parkes Observatory in Australia is planed. It is the largest radio telescope in the southern hemisphere.

Special features of the client

Unlike the client from the predecessor project SETI@home Classic now no longer a highly specialized client program is used but an open framework called BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing).

BOINC denotes the entire infrastructure (i.e., the necessary servers for project operation, creating WUs and calculating statistics) as well as the software, all the typical tasks of Distributed computing projects (distribution of WUs, Validate results, statistics, etc.). The actual client for the project contains only the scientific routines.

This structuring of the software makes it easy and a simple way to support other projects as well. Among other things an additional project called AstroPulse is calculated on this platform. Users can set whether SETI@home or Astropulse or both to be calculated.

WU information

Name RAM Duration Deadline Disk Space Download Upload Minimal requirements
setiathome_enhanced 5.28  32 MB  bis 14 h (AMDX2 32bit 3,0 GHz)  bis 3 Wochen  MB MB MB {{{mindestanforderung}}} oder besser


Duration is the average computing time needed, having the CPU clocked at the variable.
Deadline is the timespan, within which the Work unit needs to be finished.

Configuration

SETI@home uses the BOINC infrastructure. The registration, installation and configuration are described in the user manual.
