  SETI@home: An experiment in Internet-scale distributed computing
  presented by: Dr. David P. Anderson, Director

    SETI@home digitally records radio waves from space at the
    Arecibo radio observatory, then distributes the data, over
    the Internet, to 3.5 million volunteers whose computers analyze
    the data, listening for evidence of extraterrestrial life.

    In two years the project has analyzed 35 Terabytes of data using
    890,000 years of computer time.  We plan to launch a second search
    using a Southern-hemisphere radio telescope, and are working on
    a new software infrastructure to support this and other projects.
