What is theSkyNet?

TheSkyNet is a global network of computers that work together to help radio astronomers process information and answer some of the biggest questions about the universe. This innovative project harnesses the power of distributed computing, where individual computers contribute their processing power to a collective effort, making it possible to tackle complex tasks that would be impossible for a single computer to handle.

How Does theSkyNet Work?

When you join theSkyNet, your computer becomes a part of this vast network, helping to process small packets of data that are sent to it from the project's servers. The good news is that you won't even notice it's happening, as the processing is done in the background, and your computer will continue to function normally. The key to theSkyNet's success lies in having a large number of computers connected, each contributing a small amount of processing power, but collectively making a significant impact.
