I just completed my 500th work unit for the seti@home project.
This is a distributed computing project in which literally thousands of people around the globe agree to use some of their computer's processing power to analyze that data from sky surveys conducted at the world's biggest radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
There are still mountains of data to be analyzed and there is a group of h2g2 Researchers helping out. More details can be found by following the link in my personal space.
My 500 work units equal 14,093.7 hours of computing time - roughly 1.61 years.
Do get involved in the seti@home project!
There are 104 Researchers at the time of this writing. And as a group we've analyzed 25,784 units equaling 58.27 years of computing time.
