SETI@home is a scientific experiment, based at UC Berkeley, that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. Award: Certificate; naming rights for discovered particles; co-authors on scientific publications. Open: Ongoing Close: Indefinite. By running Rosetta@home on your computer when you're not using it you will speed up and extend our efforts to design new proteins and to predict their 3-dimensional shapes. Proteins are the molecular machines and building blocks of life. Executable versions of BOINC and SETI@home for various platforms are here ©2021 University of California SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.

At this point BOINC should be installed and running on your computer; the system tray should have an icon like this: If not, get help here.

What happens now?

BOINC, running in the background, will download computing jobs, process them, and upload the results. This will happen automatically; you don't have to do anything. This computation may cause your computer's fan to run, and it may slightly increase your electric bill.

How to monitor and control BOINC

You can monitor what BOINC is doing, and control it, using the BOINC Manager. Open this by double-clicking on the BOINC icon. Details are here.

Computing preferences

BOINC is designed to not impact the performance of your computer for normal use. If it does, you can reduce this impact by, for example, limiting the amount of memory BOINC uses. You can control many settings. Check this out here.

Community

You can meet and communicate with other SETI@home participants in a variety of ways - take a look under the Community menu above.

Other projects

SETI@home is one of many science projects using BOINC. Your computer is now 'attached' to SETI@home, but you can attach it to other projects if you want. It will process jobs for all attached projects. Learn about how to do this.

• BOINC lets you help cutting-edge science research using your computer. The BOINC app, running on your computer, downloads scientific computing jobs and runs them invisibly in the background. It's easy and safe.
• About 30 science projects use BOINC. They investigate diseases, study climate change, discover pulsars, and do many other types of scientific research.
• The BOINC and Science United projects are located at the University of California, Berkeley and are supported by the National Science Foundation.

New BOINC Android client released
Version 7.16.16 of the BOINC Android client has been released. This is the first new Android version in over 4 years, and is a major rewrite of the GUI. Thanks to Vitalii Koshura, Tal Regev, and Isira Seneviratne for their work on this.
The new version is available from the BOINC web site and (for Amazon Fire tablets) from the Amazon app store. It's not on the Google play store because of new restrictions imposed by Google; hopefully this will be resolved in a future version.
