500-fold Increase in documents Flow from SETI Telescope

coondoggie brings us an scoop from Networkworld about a flood of new goods for the SETI@home project. We discussed something similar a few months ago when a new telescope array went live. The huge amount of processing capability mandatory to handle the new notes is prompting the SETI@home team to construct a plea for more volunteers. Quoting the press release: “What triggered the new flow of documents was the addition of seven new receivers at Arecibo, which

now let the telescope record radio signals from seven regions of the sky simultaneously instead of just one. With greater sensitivity and the ability to detect the polarization of the radio signals, plus 40 times more frequency coverage, Arecibo is set to survey the sky for new radio sources.”
