What is SETI?

I'm sure you all know SETI, don't you? No? NO?! I'm shocked! ;)
SETI@home is one of the oldest Internet-based public volunteer computing projects employing the BOINC software platform, hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory, at the University of California, Berkeley. Its purpose is to analyze radio signals, searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, and as such is one of many activities undertaken as part of the worldwide SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) effort.

Why i'm crunching it?

Because SETI was the very first project i was crunching for, back in the last century when SETI was merely a Screensaver - and because SETI is somewhat like a 'Swiss Army Knife'; it runs on almost everything. Your Smartphone, your on-board GPU, your single-board computer, your age-old Office PC...

In my case SRBase (See Pt.1) is crunching on 7 of my 8 CPU cores, Amicable Numbers (See Pt. 2) is crunching on my NVidia 1060 and SETI is crunching on the on-board GPU... and an old Samsung S3 Mini... and on a ZTE Blade 3.
