What is theSkyNet?
Your computer is bored. It has spare computing power nearly all the time that could be used to do something cool. So why not let it?
By connecting 100s and 1000s of computers together through the Internet, it's possible to simulate a single machine capable of doing some pretty amazing stuff. That's what theSkyNet is all about - using your spare computing power to process radio astronomy data.
Why should I join?
- Contribute to real scientific research and help scientists unlock the mysteries of our Universe!
- Track your contribution and see how you compare against your friends, colleagues and the world!.
