About QCN Alpha Test
The Quake Catcher Network (QCN) is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research, education, and outreach in seismology. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer. Currently only certain Mac (OS X) PPC and Intel laptops are supported -- recent ones which have a built-in accelerometer.Please note that this software is best run as a single-processor job, so BOINC global prefs will be set to use 1 CPU, and only run when idle for 3 minutes. QCN is not a project you will want to run (especially in the alpha stage) alongside other BOINC projects
QCN is a joint project between Stanford University and University of California at Riverside.
