On March 31, the volunteer computing part of SETI@home will stop distributing work and will go into hibernation. We're doing this for two reasons: 1) Scientifically, we're at the point of diminishing returns; basically, we've analyzed all the data we need for now. 2) It's a lot of work for us to manage the distributed processing of data. We need to focus on completing the back-end analysis of the results we already have, and writing this up in a scientific journal paper. However, SETI@home is not disappearing. The web site and the message boards will continue to operate. We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of SETI@home for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens, SETI@home will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this.

Interesting. Think this was Dr.Anderson's baby and origin of BOINC at Space Sciences Labs.

As WCG still doesn't have GPU project, had to make something of my GPU to work, after 31st Mar...some projects came in mind. Soon, the implementation will come, for all my 375+ Gflop power in GPUs.
