In some cases, SETI@home users have misused company resources to gain work-unit results with at least two individuals getting fired for running SETI@home on an enterprise production system. [33] There is a thread in the newsgroup alt.sci.seti which bears the title "Anyone fired for SETI screensaver" [34] and ran starting as early as September ...

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.
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.
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 system allows for work of any length to be processed and have identical amounts of credit issued to a user. In so doing, BOINC uses benchmarks to measure the speed of a system, combining that figure with the amount of time required for a work unit to be processed. The interface then can “guess” at the amount of credit a user ...
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 .
Einstein@Home interactive screensaver. A screensaver (or screen saver) is a computer program that blanks the display screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer has been idle for a designated time. The original purpose of screensavers was to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT or plasma computer monitors (hence the name). [1]
