Pirates@Home

AAARGH! Welcome, mates, to the Pirates@Home project!
This is a test of the the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC).

Pirates@Home is an ongoing test of BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. Pirates@Home is currently being used to test BOINC's forum software for possible use by another project, Interactions in Understanding the Universe. At present Pirates@Home is not doing any real scientific computation, we are just having fun with BOINC. You can read more about the current goals of Pirates@Home here.

Pirates@Home was previously used to develop both experience and software (including a nifty screensaver) for Einstein@Home. That project is now running quite succesfully, and you are encouraged to join and contribute your spare computing cycles to the search for gravitational waves.

Join Pirates@Home!
