Daniel Carrion at Burde View has been getting “BOINC” up and running in order to use his Raspberry Pi to analyse telescope and other astronomical data.

“BOINC is open-source software for volunteer computing and grid computing. It uses to the idle time on your computer to help cure diseases, study global warming, discover pulsars and do other scientific research.”

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

Carrion also lists other projects that work with BOINC including MilkyWay@Home and Einstein@Home.

Get your Pi changing the world now by following the instructions at BURDE VIEW.

I currently have my Pi helping with the Milky Way project and I hope to get it working with SETI as well!
