The SETI Institute is involved in a 'double-header' campaign to locate extraterrestrial signals. The first is a coordinated search strategy of 1000's of stars with powerful radio telescopes. The second, and more interesting strategy is to enlist thousands of internet users to process the data. The project, called SETI@Home, is currently in the final stages of development and over 250,000 people have already signed up. When finished, the application would function in the background as a screen saver, taking advantage of spare cpu-cycles on idle computers. The data would be processed and sent back to the main server for analysis. The combined effort of 250,000 users would be the single greatest distributed networking experiment to date.
