SETI@home beta, is a hibernating volunteer computing project using the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform, as a test environment for future SETI@home projects:

• AstroPulse is a volunteer computing project searching for primordial black holes, pulsars, and ETI. AstroPulse clients have been tested by this project for nearly 6 years.^[1] It is already running on SETI@home, testing new GPU/CPU optimized apps and performing other tasks.
• SETI Southern Hemisphere Search, which is another SETI@home project that was due to join BOINC.^[2] It was expected that this project would use a slightly modified version of the SETI enhanced client, as the Parkes Observatory has a feedhorn with more beams than the Arecibo Observatory.^{[citation needed]}
