The SETI@Home FAQ is fantastic and informative, but...
Can Anyone Answer These Questions Not Answered on the SETI@Home FAQ?
A) What is the fastest computer known to run SETI@HOME now? (Could you
tell by the work unit productivity?)
B) Has anyone heard of anyone taking a supercomputer or a very fast
mainframe and hooked it up to the system to plow through work units in a
bloc of unused processor time?
C) What is the rate at which users are signing up at SETI@HOME?
D) What is the rate at which users drop out of SETI@HOME?
E) Who is the individual user who has tapped into the most individual
computers for SETI@HOME?
F) What are the other most popular distributed computing programs, and have
they had any results?
G) Since there are a lot of government SETI@Home groups, is there a U.S.
Government policy on the use of government computers for SETI@Home? (yes I
realize that many of the computers are at-home computers rather than office
computers, but there are likely still quite a few chugging away at work)
H) How frequently or infrequently do Windows users actually put their
SETI@home tasks on real time (highest task priority)?
