Hello!

I have taken a look and found nothing, I doubt it is available for ARM devices.

I'd like a S@H for N900..
I have unlimited internet (not fast, but unlmtd) and I'd like to let my N900 chug away all night with it

Has anyone seen this or thought of using this on N900?

Not that they will produce much more data. The ATA is dead thanks to the US government.

May I know what happen to Allen Telescope Array? Really haven't heard of their progress lately.

May be it's just like shutting down of Area 51, just for expanding its operation underground, as they've really found something on the evidence on extraterrestrial life. Good luck to them.

I installed BOINC* on an old laptop (Thinkpad T23 1,2GHz, 1GB RAM) and the processor almost burned. Today I use it on my new laptop and the fan is always on. Imagine your N900 in your pocket near your penis...

The processor must be working at 100% all the time, this only can be done in desktop PC/servers: they're big and have good ventilation.

Also, you need a powerful processor: If you've used Seti@Home (that it's part of BOINC) you'll know that they send you a task, your PC processes it and sends the result to Seti and then they send you another task. With my Thinkpad, using it only for BOINC, I need 2 or 3 hours (with the processor at 100%) for every task.

Here you can see that there's no arm's deb packages for BOINC.

I know that this is not the purpose of this thread (nor the forum) but I think that we could encourage other forum users to install BOINC on their desktop PC.

I installed BOINC on my desktop PC, it has an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 running at 3.0 GHz (100% load) all the time for the Rosetta@Home and World Community Grid projects: it can complete a not-so-large task every 3-4 hours, but it needs some extra ventilation against the heat produced.

Now imagine all of that on the N900 :P It would complete a single task in a day (maybe), running at top speed all the time (so you could not use the phone in the meantime) with its 600 MHz CPU (overclocking is impossible, the heat produced would kill the phone in a couple hours).

Results: its contribute to the project would be nearly 0, and it would reduce its life significantly.

Not to mention the battery drain...
