We have started a beta test of BOINC using

|
|
|
the Astropulse application.
|
|
|
|
|
Many bugs have been found and fixed.

<br>BOINC is under development.
|
2002-08-24 09:02:52 +00:00
|
|
|
The basic features are working on UNIX platforms.
|

|
|
|
We plan to release the first public application of BOINC later this year.
