Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence.

We crunch signals collected from the telescope in Arecibo Puerto Rico - looking for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

Have you ever seen the movie 'Contact' with Jodie Foster?

Would you like to stress your cpu? For real? See what it can do? Have your cpu use those transistors it didn't even realized it had...! CRUNCH !

Even if you don't care about finding ET, or don't believe in ET, you can put your machine up against the rest, and see just how good of an overclocker you really are. Think of it as a competition instead of an age old question.
