ELMSFORD, NY, SETI@home, a program designed to scan the heavens for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, recently passed a significant milestone. More than 2.5 million volunteered computersin 226 countries are now part of the project that could be considered - at 20 teraflops - one of the largest supercomputers in the world. According to Dan Werthimer, Chief Scientist for SETI@home, the program wouldn't be possible without two essential things: The millions of volunteers who believe there must be intelligent life elsewhere; and the Fujifilm DLTtape IV on which gigabytes of space data is being stored. "The more data that we can record and analyze, the better our chances of finding a distant civilization," Werthimer said. "In trying to decide what would be the best storage technology to use, we searched for a medium that was extremely reliable with a very high capacity because we're recording 35, maybe 50, gigabytes a day. We asked our colleagues to identify experts in this field and the best storage technology to use and all roads pointed to Fujifilm and its DLTtape IV media. Fujifilm products like DLTtape IV made the SETI@home project possible."
