- SETI -
seti at home : Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Join the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Radio telescopes arround the world are scanning the skies for the telltale proof of extraterrestrial intelligence: a radio transmission from another intelligent civilization! the problem is that the data collected is so enormous that it would take too long for the fastest supercomputers to sort and analyze through. Thats where you can help.

to run Seti@home you need the BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) program. This program also lets you run other projects in the background like those at the World community grid.

World Community Grid

The World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Their work is built on the belief that technological innovation combined with visionary scientific research and large-scale volunteerism can change our world for the better. Their success depends on individuals - like you - collectively contributing your unused computer time to this not-for-profit endeavor.

Current projects that you can run:

-FightAIDS@Home
-Genome Comparison
-Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy
-Help Defeat Cancer
-Human Proteome Folding 2

I recently visited her show at the gallery Ske in bangalore. It was ... well it left me speachless.
