Classic SETI@home has ended

By Jon Heizer

“After 6 years of operation, SETI@home Classic sent out its last workunit. We will clean up and synchronize the Classic stats with the current SETI@home project in the coming weeks. Thanks to all SETI@home Classic participants for their tremendous dedication to the project. You made SETI@home into something of lasting significance.”

SETI started the switch over to the BOINC platform a few years ago. BOINC is Berkeley Open Infrastructure For Network Computing. It is a software platform that allows people from all over the world to volunteer their computer resources to a variety of projects including ClimatePrediction, LHC@home, Predictor@home, Rosetta@home and many more.
