As a result, some participants in the project attempted to cheat the project to gain "credits", while others submitted entirely falsified work.
SETI@home beta, is a hibernating volunteer computing project using the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing platform, as a test environment for future SETI@home projects: AstroPulse is a volunteer computing project searching for primordial black holes , pulsars , and ETI .
