SETI@home Goes BOINC

Jody posted this at 10:24 am under internet & computers, science, software

SETI@home has released a new version of their software called BOINC:

- BOINC transparently and securely downloads new application versions.
- BOINC has a more flexible data architecture than SETI@home Classic.
- BOINC distributes work based on host parameters.
- Other distributed computing projects are also using BOINC, and you can share your computer time among projects of your choosing.

I won’t upgrade until I need to. They haven’t set a date yet for when the classic version will no longer work.
