SETI@home: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence at home

SETI@home: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence at home

Since last 1 month I have been using the famous Screensaver from SETI@Home Quite impressive statistics -

Total number of registered members 5,361,313
Floating Point Operations 6.523404e+21
Total CPU time 2228283.986 years

Considering the fact that Sun Microsystems has announced that it is willing to offer grid computing plan starting at $1 per hour, contribution of 2228283.986 years is amazing.
