The BOINC Manager working on the SETI@home project (v 7.6.22) Screenshot of SETI@home Classic Screensaver (v3.07) The SETI@home volunteer computing software ran either as a screensaver or continuously while a user worked, making use of processor time that would otherwise be unused.
The original SETI client was a non-BOINC software exclusively for SETI@home. It was one of the first volunteer computing projects, and not designed with a high level of security. As a result, some participants in the project attempted to cheat the project to gain "credits", while others submitted entirely falsified work.
BOINC on the client is structured into a number of separate applications. These intercommunicate using the BOINC remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism. These component applications are: The program boinc (or boinc.exe) is the core client. The core client is a process which: Takes care of communications between the client and the server.
SETI@home beta, is a hibernating volunteer computing project using the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing platform, as a test environment for future SETI@home projects: AstroPulse is a volunteer computing project searching for primordial black holes , pulsars , and ETI .
The Berkeley SETI Research Center also hosts the Breakthrough Listen program, [4] [5] [6] which is a ten-year initiative with $100 million funding begun in July 2015 to actively search for intelligent extraterrestrial communications in the universe, in a substantially expanded way, using resources that had not previously been extensively used for the purpose.

The BOINC idea is to divide (split) large blocks of data into smaller units, each of which can be distributed to individual participating work stations. To this end, the project then began to embed the Astropulse core into the SETI beta client and began to distribute real data, split into Astropulse work units, to a team of beta testers.
Its first client was a screensaver, which would run while the computer was not otherwise in use. [164] [165] In 2004, the Pande lab collaborated with David P. Anderson to test a supplemental client on the open-source BOINC framework.
