>Most radio SETI projects process data in near real-time using special purpose analyzers at the telescope. SETI@home takes a different approach. It records digital time-domain (also called baseband) data, and distributes it over the internet to large numbers of computers that process the data, using both CPUs and GPUs.
Definetly something going on here I'm not following.

Is this paper really old or something? I would love to turn on my clients again :D
With the final analysis of this project complete, I do wonder if there's a way to bring it back with distributed agents doing the part that was so time-intensive for researchers that they had to kill it.
Immediate nostalgia activated. I ran this on a Pentium machine (I think) at home, still living with my parents. Sometimes I yearn for optimism and relative naïveté of those times.
Most of this data was recorded commensally at the Arecibo observatory over a 22 yr period
Interesting as Arecibo collapsed in December of 2020. It sounds like they have a lot of data to still churn through.
