Pirates@Home is an ongoing test of BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing.[1]

Pirates@Home is currently being used to test BOINC's forum software for possible use by another project, Interactions in Understanding the Universe. At present Pirates@Home is not doing any real scientific computation, we are just having fun with BOINC. You can read more about the current goals of Pirates@Home here: [2]

This wiki is a test of the use of the MediaWiki software (the same software used to run the Wikipedia) as a part of a BOINC project. This is just a test.

Pirates@Home was previously used to develop both experience and software (including a nifty screensaver) for Einstein@Home. That project is now running quite succesfully, and you are encouraged to join and contribute your spare computing cycles to the search for gravitational waves.
