Major change coming to SETI@home - OS/2 Users Get BOINC'd

From: "Ralph Cohen"

The SETI@home project announced a major change in the project in the very near future. The following are the two lead paragraphs from the announcement posted on the site:

==-==-==-==-==
We will soon release a new version of SETI@home, based on BOINC, a general-purpose platform for distributed computing projects like SETI@home. Eventually other distributed computing projects (like Folding@home and ClimatePrediction.net) will also use BOINC, and you'll be able to share your computer time among projects of your choosing.

BOINC makes it possible for us to release new versions of SETI@home without requiring you to download and install new software. It will also let us do new analyses of the SETI@home data, looking for other types of radio signals (such as short pulses from evaporating black holes).

Unfortunately, OS/2 is not among the platforms that will initially be supported. You can read much more about the transition and work unit transfers and other issues at.
